For example, it’s great for documentation. And static sites can be just as engaging as dynamic sites. The only real difference is that all the HTML is generated before being uploaded. To provide an insight into the quality of software that is available, we have compiled a list of 6 best C++ static site generators. All of these tools are released under a freely distributable license. Here’s our verdict. * ⚓ Rucola_-_terminal-based_markdown_note_manager_-_LinuxLinks⠀⇛ Rucola provides easy access to edit notes in your favorite terminal text editor such as vim, emacs or helix, thus allowing a far more powerful editing interface. Rucola relies on an external program to view HTML versions of your markdown notes, allowing more customizability (for example with the rich plugin system of browsers) as well as more conformity to your usual workflow. This is free and open source software. * ⚓ fastdiract_-_quick_shell_navigation_and_command_execution_- LinuxLinks⠀⇛ fastdiract (fastdir + fastaction) is a pair of shell tools based on key-value storage for quick shell navigation and command execution.

I gave a sudo tutorial, and it went well, with some “students” already planning which features to implement at home. There were many good talks, including one from Dr. Marshall Kirk McKusick, who was with the FreeBSD project right from the beginning, and worked on BSD even earlier. The weather was also good to us, so I could look around in Dublin for a bit. * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ My_A-Z_toolbox:_bwm-ng⠀⇛ This is the second post in my A-Z_Toolbox series, in which I’m listing tools I use down the alphabet for no logical reason.

Specifically, CUPS provides tools to manage, discover and share printers for Linux distributions. By chaining this group of vulnerabilities together, an attacker could potentially achieve remote code execution which could then lead to theft of sensitive data and/or damage to critical production systems. * ⚓ Ubuntu ☛ CUPS_Remote_Code_Execution_Vulnerability_Fix_Available⠀⇛ Canonical’s security team has released updates for the cups- browsed, cups-filters, libcupsfilters and libppd packages for all Ubuntu LTS releases under standard support. The updates remediate CVE-2024-47076, CVE-2024-47175, CVE-2024-47176, while CVE-2024-47177 is addressed by the other 3 vulnerabilities being patched. Information on the affected versions can be found in the CVE pages linked above. If you have any of these installed, our recommendation is to update as soon as possible. Read on to learn more about the details. Security updates for ESM releases will be released shortly. Update Hype noted: * ⚓ Highly_Anticipated_Linux_Flaw_Allows_Remote_Code_Execution,_but_Less Serious_Than_Expected⠀⇛ A researcher has disclosed the details of an unpatched vulnerability that had been expected to pose a serious threat to many Linux systems, but it turned out to be less serious than anticipated. On September 23, researcher Simone Margaritelli revealed that he would — in less than two weeks — disclose the details of an unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability affecting all GNU/Linux systems. He noted that the flaw had been assigned a CVSS score of 9.9, which led many members of the cybersecurity industry to believe that it would be a highly critical, high-impact issue. Margaritelli indicated at the time that he was displeased with the entire responsible disclosure process, noting that no working fix had been developed, and no CVE identifier had been assigned. Shortly after, information on the vulnerability was leaked on GitHub and it started circulating on cybercrime forums. As a result, the researcher disclosed technical details and published a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit on Thursday. Lunduke, who hyped it up: * ⚓ The_"9.9"_Linux_Vulnerability_Revealed:_It's_The_Printers⠀⇛ Remote attacker can execute code by simply sending a UDP packet to a GNU/Linux machine. LWN: * ⚓ Remote_exploit_of_CUPS⠀⇛ Security researcher Simone Margaritelli has_reported a new vulnerability in CUPS, the software that many GNU/Linux systems use to manage printers and print jobs. Margaritelli describes the impact of the attack by saying: A remote unauthenticated attacker can silently replace existing printers' (or install new ones) IPP urls with a malicious one, resulting in arbitrary command execution (on the computer) when a print job is started (from that computer). The vulnerability relies on a few related problems in CUPS libraries and utilities; versions before 2.0.1 or 2.1b1 (depending on the component) may be affected. Red Hat has released_a_security_bulletin as well.

Matrix certainly has some supporters. For example, Germany has adopted the protocol as its strategy to keep control over its data and infrastructure. "But on the flip side, often, the public sector likes open source because they feel they don't have to pay for it: 'That's why we picked it as open source so we don't get trapped paying some kind of recurring fee to some kind of vendor.' "So we are still seeing a really bad tragedy of the commons unfold … there are quite a few out there who have chosen us because we're open source. And then when we ask if they would like to support the development costs, [they] just say: 'No.' ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 674 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/27/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_News_and_Events.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/27/Free_Libre_and_Open_Source_Software_News_and_Events.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Free, Libre, and Open Source Software News and Events⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 27, 2024 * ⚓ Ruben Schade ☛ My_A-Z_toolbox:_bwm-ng⠀⇛ The Bandwidth Monitor Next-Generation—cue Star Trek theme music—is a live network bandwidth monitor that runs on everything I care about, so FreeBSD, NetBSD, illumous, and various Penguins. * ⚓ JWB ☛ A_new_feed_tool⠀⇛ Since Nextcloud was never intended to be used as a feed reader, I decided to try something new: Miniflux.

Hassle-free updates, latest Linux kernel, a cool looking desktop, and the solid Arch Linux experience at its core. If you are hearing about the distro for the first time, let me tell you: it is a convenient Arch Linux distribution that offers out-of- the-box customizations, and provides optional premium theme/packages to get a more customizable experience. The distribution is free, but you can get its premium theme packages or different out-of-the-box configurations for a premium to support its development. So, it is an interesting idea, and it has been working for a couple of years now. I am intrigued by it, and I'm definitely considering getting a premium theme soon. But, how did it all start?

Skia supports rendering using the GPU, which is now the default, but we also use it for CPU rendering using the same threaded rendering model we had with Cairo. The architecture hasn’t changed much for GPU rendering: we use the same tiled rendering approach, but buffers for dirty regions are rendered in the main thread as textures. The compositor waits for textures to be ready using fences and copies them directly to the compositor texture. This was the simplest approach that already resulted in much better performance, specially in the desktop with more powerful GPUs. In embedded systems, where GPUs are not so powerful, it’s still better to use the CPU with several rendering threads in most of the cases. It’s still too early to announce anything, but we are already experimenting with different models to improve the performance even more and make a better usage of the GPU in embedded devices. Skia has received several GCC specific optimizations lately, but it’s always more optimized when built with clang. The optimizations are more noticeable in performance when using the CPU for rendering. For this reason, since version 2.46 we recommend to build WebKit with clang for the best performance. GCC is still supported, of course, and performance when built with GCC is quite good too.

Read this blog first before you solidify your choice. * ⚓ Andy_Wingo:_needed-bits_optimizations_in_guile⠀⇛ Hey all, I had a fun bug this week and want to share it with you. § numbers and representations⠀➾ First, though, some background. Guile’s numeric operations are defined over the complex numbers, not over e.g. a finite field of integers. This is generally great when writing an algorithm, because you don’t have to think about how the computer will actually represent the numbers you are working on. In practice, Guile will represent a small exact integer as a fixnum, which is a machine word with a low-bit tag. If an integer doesn’t fit in a word (minus space for the tag), it is represented as a heap-allocated bignum. But sometimes the compiler can realize that e.g. the operands to a specific bitwise-and operation are within (say) the 64-bit range of unsigned integers, and so therefore we can use unboxed operations instead of the more generic functions that do run- time dispatch on the operand types, and which might perform heap allocation. Unboxing is important for speed. It’s also tricky: under what circumstances can we do it? In the example above, there is information that flows from defs to uses: the operands of logand are known to be exact integers in a certain range and the operation itself is closed over its domain, so we can unbox. But there is another case in which we can unbox, in which information flows backwards, from uses to defs: if we see (logand n #xff), we know: o the result will be in [0, 255] o that n will be an exact integer (or an exception will be thrown) o we are only interested in a subset of n‘s bits. Together, these observations let us transform the more general logand to an unboxed operation, having first truncated n to a u64. And actually, the information can flow from use to def: if we know that n will be an exact integer but don’t know its range, we can transform the potentially heap-allocating computation that produces n to instead truncate its result to the u64 range where it is defined, instead of just truncating at the use; and potentially this information could travel farther up the dominator tree, to inputs of the operation that defines n, their inputs, and so on. § needed-bits: the |0 of scheme⠀➾ Let’s say we have a numerical operation that produces an exact integer, but we don’t know the range. We could truncate the result to a u64 and use unboxed operations, if and only if only u64 bits are used. So we need to compute, for each variable in a program, what bits are needed from it. I think this is generally known a needed-bits analysis, though both Google and my textbooks are failing me at the moment; perhaps this is because dynamic languages and flow analysis don’t get so much attention these days. Anyway, the analysis can be local (within a basic block), global (all blocks in a function), or interprocedural (larger than a function). Guile’s is global. Each CPS/SSA variable in the function starts as needing 0 bits. We then compute the fixpoint of visiting each term in the function; if a term causes a variable to flow out of the function, for example via return or call, the variable is recorded as needing all bits, as is also the case if the variable is an operand to some primcall that doesn’t have a specific needed-bits analyser. * ⚓ InfoQ ☛ Swift_6_Officially_Available⠀⇛ The Swift team has officially announced the availability of Swift 6, a new major version of Fashion Company Apple open- source language with focus on low-level and embedded programming, concurrent code safety, new cross-platforms APIs, and extended GNU/Linux and backdoored Windows support. * § Rust⠀➾ o ⚓ Niko_Matsakis:_Making_overwrite_opt-in_#crazyideas⠀⇛ What would you say if I told you that it was possible to (a) eliminate a lot of “inter-method borrow conflicts” without introducing something like view_types and (b) make pinning easier even than boats’s pinned_places proposal, all without needing pinned fields or even a pinned keyword? You’d probably say “Sounds great… what’s the catch?” The catch it requires us to change Rust’s fundamental assumption that, given x: &mut T, you can always overwrite *x by doing *x = /* new value */, for any type T: Sized. This kind of change is tricky, but not impossible, to do over an edition. We can reduce inter-procedural borrow check errors, increase clarity, and make pin vastly simpler to work with if we limit when it is possible to overwrite an &mut reference. The idea is that if you have a mutable reference x: &mut T, it should only be possible to overwrite x via *x = /* new value */ or to swap its value via std::mem::swap if T: Overwrite. To start with, most structs and enums would implement Overwrite, and it would be a default bound, like Sized; but we would transition in a future edition to have structs/enums be !Overwrite by default and to have T: Overwrite bounds written explicitly. ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 2075 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/27/Programming_Leftovers.shtml Gemini version at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2024/09/27/Programming_Leftovers.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Programming Leftovers⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Sep 27, 2024 * § Programming/Development⠀➾ o ⚓ Rlang ☛ Tales_from_Open_Source_Development_I:_Your_package_is archived⠀⇛ Most of the posts on this blog include a lot of code an little text besides explaining what the code does.

There's plenty of reason to hope the app will continue to improve. Its progress is tied up, in large part, with the ongoing work on GNOME Web. That's not a hopeless situation by any stretch—GNOME Web has come a long way. Compared to conventional desktop browsers, Tangram's approach feels more like using a mobile web browser without a location bar. Sometimes magic comes not from creating something entirely new but taking existing capabilities and presenting them in a new way. I like Tangram's paired down experience and the novelty it brings to interacting with the web.

They’re stealing the Internet from us and we must do something about it. What it used to be a fun, collaborative hacking space is now ruled by corporations and narcissistic billionaires. Proprietary centralized social networks have become a space for hate, discrimination and propaganda. The messages that you see are those that they want you to see. Your data is no longer yours. They have become a massive thought control machine. You read what they want you to read and, in the end, you will end up writing and doing what they want you to write and to do. It’s a matter of time and money, and they have both. These corporate-driven social networks are deceiving. They make us fall into false assumptions in a distorted reality. This delusion hits both individuals and organizations. For instance, in GNU Solidario and GNU Health, we fight for Social Medicine and for the rights of human and non-human animals. When we want to share an event, to make a fundraising campaign or to denounce human or animal rights violations we want the message to reach out as many people as possible. We could think, why not share it with our followers on Twitter / X? Experience has it, corporate social networks have not really made a difference in the outcomes. They will promote or “shadow ban” the message depending on who wrote it. You can guess the results for those who fight against neoliberal capitalism.

Incorporating Tails into the Tor Project's structure allows for easier collaboration, better sustainability, reduced overhead, and expanded training and outreach programs to counter a larger number of digital threats. In short, coming together will strengthen both organizations' ability to protect people worldwide from surveillance and censorship. Read_on Also: * ⚓ Tor_and_Tails_Merge_to_Fight_Global_Surveillance_and_Censorship⠀⇛ In an unexpected move to bolster online privacy and combat digital surveillance, the Tor Project and Tails have officially merged their operations. The collaboration unites those two leading entities dedicated to protecting users from censorship and mass surveillance, promising enhanced tools and resources for individuals worldwide. LWN: * ⚓ Uniting_for_Internet_Freedom:_Tor_Project_&_Tails_Join_Forces_ (Tor blog)⠀⇛ The online-privacy-focused Tor_project has announced that it has "joined forces and merged operations" with the Tails_OS GNU/Linux distribution. Countering the threat of global mass surveillance and censorship to a free Internet, Tor and Tails provide essential tools to help people around the world stay safe online. By joining forces, these two privacy advocates will pool their resources to focus on what matters most: ensuring that activists, journalists, other at-risk and everyday users will have access to improved digital security tools. In late 2023, Tails approached the Tor Project with the idea of merging operations. Tails had outgrown its existing structure. Rather than expanding Tails's operational capacity on their own and putting more stress on Tails workers, merging with the Tor Project, with its larger and established operational framework, offered a solution. By joining forces, the Tails team can now focus on their core mission of maintaining and improving Tails OS, exploring more and complementary use cases while benefiting from the larger organizational structure of The Tor Project. And related: * ⚓ ​New_Release:_Tor_Browser_13.5.5⠀⇛ Tor Browser 13.5.5 is now available from the Tor Browser download page and also from our distribution directory.

OSTechNix: * ⚓ Tor_And_Tails_Merge_To_Protect_Users_From_Global_Surveillance⠀⇛ The Tor Project and Tails Linux have merged operations to strengthen their ability to protect users from global mass surveillance and censorship. Tor and Tails merger brings together two major players in online privacy, combining their resources and expertise to offer more robust and comprehensive solutions for users worldwide. The Tor Project is a non-profit organisation that develops tools for online privacy and anonymity, most notably the Tor browser, which routes internet traffic through a network of servers to anonymise users' online activity. Tails is a portable Linux operating system that uses Tor to protect users from digital surveillance. It is pre-installed with a desktop environment and can be booted from a USB drive, leaving little trace on the computer it's used on. More here: * ⚓ Tor_Project_wags_Tails_to_mark_privacy_project_merger⠀⇛ The Tor Project, a non-profit focused on network anonymity, is joining forces with Tails, an anonymity-focused Linux distribution, in an effort to make better use of financial and technical resources. * ⚓ Tails_-_Uniting_for_Internet_Freedom:_Tor_Project_&_Tails_Join_Forces⠀⇛ Today the Tor Project, a global non-profit developing tools for online privacy and anonymity, and Tails, a portable operating system that uses Tor to protect users from digital surveillance, have joined forces and merged operations. Incorporating Tails into the Tor Project's structure allows for easier collaboration, better sustainability, reduced overhead, and expanded training and outreach programs to counter a larger number of digital threats. In short, coming together will strengthen both organizations' ability to protect people worldwide from surveillance and censorship. A couple more: * ⚓ Tails ☛ Tails_-_Tails_report_for_August_2024⠀⇛ We published instructions for installing Dangerzone in Tails. Dangerzone will help Tails users convert suspicious documents to safe [sic] PDFs. This was a significant milestone: this is the first time that we have recommended installing a 3rd party package that is not available in Debian. * ⚓ Silicon Angle ☛ Privacy-focused_Tails_operating_system_merges_with_the Tor_Project⠀⇛ The Tails Project develops a privacy-focused version of Linux called Tails. It’s not based directly on the Linux kernel but rather a popular distribution of the operating system called Debian. The latter software extends the kernel with a number of additional features, most notably tools that make it easier to install and uninstall applications. Tails expands upon Debian’s feature set with several capabilities designed to protect users’ privacy. The operating system can be booted from a USB stick and doesn’t store any data in the hard drive of the computer to which the stick is attached.

It also adds an option to change the remote display security method in the GUI. This release also improves 3D support by fixing the enablement of 3D acceleration in the virtual machine settings, rendering issues caused by incorrect view handling, and a black screen bug with virtual machines running Windows. Moreover, VirtualBox 7.1.2 makes it possible to enable the 3D acceleration function for ARM platform virtual machines.
