@abbra and I released version 0.1.0 of the Kirmes LocalKDC today.

https://gitlab.com/kirmes/localkdc/-/releases/0.1.0

Wait, what are we needing a KDC for which only runs locally? Well, you want the details, I suggest to watch our talk at https://sambaxp.org/ next Monday (or wait till it is online).

It uses systemd-userdb via libkirmes (written in rust) and implements KDB modules for MIT Kerberos also written in Rust (kurbu5)!

Added KDC listening exclusively on a Unix socket (/run/localkdc/kdc.sock) via systemd socket activation. No TCP/UDP...

Several years ago I packaged #Signal and #Electron for #openSUSE and #Fedora in the openSUSE Buildservice.
Bruno Pitrus helped to improve it and maintained it over many years. With Signal 8.6.0 it wont be maintained anymore. The reason is that we never got help from Upstream Signal and that it got much harder. Especially Electron is a huge pain.

I submitted a Pull Request to update MacPorts' libssh to 0.12.0 here:

https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/pull/31472

3 of 3 of GitHub Continuous Integration checks passed.

It's up to someone else with commit access to merge it.

I'm not the maintainer, nor am I really a user of libssh, so some things are not particularly tested (I did attempt to run "port -vst install" but tbh even "port -v install" was failing due to some weird kerberos defaults and I don't run kerberos locally, for good reasons. Also, I don't really use anything dependent upon libssh).

It was more that I was having dreams about OpenSSH and figured I should test a snapshot (no issues there, phew!) but noticed that libssh had been version bumped (more than one actually, there's also a 0.11.4 release) and there were security related issues, so it seemed worth at least submitting a Pull Request since it had apparently slipped under the maintainer's radar? The Portfile is also listed as openmaintainer, so I am guessing a little outside assistance is welcome.

Hopefully it helps some others! Doesn't do much of anything for me.

Hopefully it doesn't break anything for others; that I am less certain about.

This is a gorgeous, gorgeous longish essay from @tg on the tech that's constantly asking for our attention. Love the beautifully subtle animations and the CSS handdrawn casio and apple watches, .
