Rust: News @lemmyrs.org

The Rust Security Response WG was notified that Cargo did not respect the umask when extracting crate archives on UNIX-like systems. If the user downloaded a crate containing files writeable by any local user, another local user could exploit this to change the source code compiled and executed by the current user.

  • Someone I know recently switched from automatic bathroom lights to manual ones. Remembering to turn them on isn't an issue, but months later everyone still forgets to turn them off.

    • Debugger visualization attributes
    • raw-dylib linking
    • Upgrade to musl 1.2

  • And .box has been registered as a generic TLD now, so you could run into external .box domains.

  • They're not going to have open signups. It's government agencies only. Not that there's technically anything stopping Germans from joining the PR departments of our government agencies…

  • So what you're saying is that Twitter successfully kept out a bad actor.

    It's a shame that most of the users they have left are also in that category, but hey, they seem to be working on it.

  • These are all fine in the US, but in other countries not carrying proof of identity can get you into some trouble, as can refusing to talk to the police. Know your local laws.

  • A FreeRTOS derivative has gone through the effort of getting certified for safety critical applications, but that derivative is sadly proprietary. Even if FreeRTOS itself can't meet that bar, though, the work wouldn't have to start from scratch.

  • So far it doesn't look like he's getting away with it. Ad revenue is down 60% compared to last year, it doesn't look like there is enough revenue from subscriptions to make up for that, and they're being evicted from one of their offices.

    One hundred weeks ago, on Friday 16 July 2021, “This Week in GNOME” was launched - the first post was "#1 Scrolling in the Dark".

    Since then TWIG has grown into a vibrant community, and has become a weekly ritual for many people—both for developers who share their work, and for curious readers who want to follow the development of GNOME.
