A security audit of Rust Coreutils found 70 CVEs. 44 of these could be fixed for release 0.8. The rest remain unfixed and undisclosed for now.

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS has added Rust Coreutils EXCEPT the cp, mv, and rm commands.

I assume most of the remaining 26 CVEs are therefore in cp, mv and rm.

How is your „let‘s rewrite it in Rust“ project going?

Update: Rust coreutils has contributed to the GNU test cases.

Ubuntu Rust Coreutils Audit Revealed 113 Issues, Ubuntu 26.10 Aims For "100% Rust Coreutils"

Ahead of tomorrow's Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release, Canonical published a blog post today outlining the state of Rust Coreutils for its premiere in this long-term support (LTS) version

TIL there is morse(6) in the #FreeBSD base.

Morning debugging of #vim: if you use a trick to place the cursor in the same place, where you last edited your file, this will often break your pattern searching if the editor was started:

vim +/foo file

The pattern matching will only start after the cursor was placed, where you had previously left the file. So if you happen to set "nowrapscan" only the part between the cursor and buffer end will be searched. If you do not want to sacrifice "nowrapscan" and still get all the file searched use:

vim +1 +/foo file

Yes.


#openbsd
This is a known issue that happens with major gstreamer upgrades. It was originally documented in UPDATING entry of 20221015. But the message is not repeated similarly to perl upgrade notices.
If you are building gstreamer plugins from ports on FreeBSD, and it fails for you. Remove the older installed package "gstreamer-plugins" to succeed.

#FreeBSD’s entry-level ee(1) text editor recently gained full #Unicode support 🎉
Huge thanks to @_bapt_
- much appreciated!

One more step toward making FreeBSD even more welcoming… #GenZ, we’re ready for you 

One could increase the reserved space percentage to make a filesystem appear extra full, thus emphasizing your manager's urgency in ramming the new disk through Purchasing. But that would be wrong.
