Something I missed: Mac OS sequoia is shipping with openrsync, the #OpenBSD version of rsync, created by Kristaps Dzonsons.

Of course this is due to Apple not liking GPL V3, which is used by the latest version of rsync...

rsync replaced with openrsync on macOS Sequoia

On many Unix-based operating systems, rsync is a command line tool for transferring and synchronizing files on a computer, either between storage attached directly to the computer or between anothe…

I wonder if people in cyber security already see a noticeable spike of incidents due to all the AI generated code out there.

I don’t know why I kept my inactive Twitter account - maybe for read-only access or maybe to protect it from squatters - but this X BS is finally a good reason to delete inactive accounts like mine. The bird is dead.

For curious people, here are my notes from the week in Tallinn (#g2k23) and a new picture, now that #Sway is almost usable and that Xwayland works.

@teotwaki you can do everything what you can do with JS itself - or whatever is exposed by the web-sys crate or WASM interface. I once implemented a jquery-like API in Rust to replace a very simple Javascript file in an internal tool: web-sys-query. This is not actively maintained and was more a joke - but it works and you can see the DOM access in the example https://github.com/reyk/web-sys-query/blob/main/tests/wasm.rs
web-sys-query/tests/wasm.rs at main · reyk/web-sys-query

jQuery-like API for web-sys. Contribute to reyk/web-sys-query development by creating an account on GitHub.

@0x58 #rust is great for building web apps and their backends. There are many good frameworks like axum, and you can use one of the postgres crates directly or an ORM like SeaORM on top. And if you really want to go fullstack, you can use web assembly and write the frontend in Rust, for example with yew.
