I documented how I replaced the Debian crypttab `keyscript` with systemd socket activation:
https://anisse.astier.eu/keyscript-to-socket-activation.html
In Debian (and Ubuntu), when using a LUKS encrypted volume with cryptsetup, there is a documented option in the manpage for /etc/crypttab called keyscript: it should allow the init system to launch a program and have its standard output used as a key to unlock a volume. But there β¦
This HTTP server library looks interesting, with some impressive benchmarks.
Edit: It may not be artisanal code, so beware.
37 Debian LTS advisories were released in February fixing 145 CVEs across various packages. These include security fixes for bind9, firefox-esr, imagemagick, libpng, mbedtls, openssh, packagekit, perl, postgresql-13, python3.9, systemd and many more.
Debian LTS contributors also prepared updates for more recent releases, Debian 12 (#bookworm), Debian 13 (#trixie) and Debian unstable.

The Debian LTS Team, funded by Freexianβs Debian LTS offering, is pleased to report its activities for April. Activity summary During the month of April, 21 contributors have been paid to work on Debian LTS (links to individual contributor reports are located below). The team released 37 DLAs fixing 145 CVEs. The team continued preparing security updates in its usual rhythm. Beyond the updates targeting Debian 11 (βbullseyeβ), which is the current release under LTS, the team also proposed updates for more recent releases (Debian 12 (βbookwormβ) and Debian 13 (βtrixieβ)), including Debian unstable.
@mina @PercyButtons3 @DailyEpsilon I used #Perl, which is also a solution to everything. It's funny they used the 19th to search for 19 ;-)
perl -wE 'while (++$_) { $x = $_ + 62; $y = $_ + 81; $sx = sqrt $x; $sy = sqrt $y; say if $sx == int $sx && $sy == int $sy; }'
Also been improving spec compliance of the MCP #Perl SDK. Claude Code came up with the idea to split the HTTP transport into two modes, one for feature completeness (streaming), and one for easy scalability with prefork web servers.
The streaming mode allows us to do fun things like MCP tools with progress bars.

Installing #Perl library that depends on AnyEvent. AnyEvent issues "canary" warning and snark about backwards compatibility changes since 5.22. Fails to build.
Strawberry Perl on Windows, no big surprise.
5.22 wasβuhβ2015. If I remember right, that's when p5p was putting solid effort in replacing duct tape with working code.
I'm not saying the complaints are valid or invalid. I'm just saying this smells like a spacebar heating problem.
