Mutt, Gmail and GPG

GPG / Mutt / Gmail

About

This is a collection of snippets, not a comprehensive guide. I suggest you start with Operational PGP.

Here is an incomplete list of things that are different from other approaches:

  • I don't use keyservers. Ever.
  • Yes, I use Gmail instead of some bespoke hipster freedom service

Things that programmers don't know but should

(A book that I might eventually write!)

Gary Bernhardt

I imagine each of these chapters being about 2,000 words, making the whole book about the size of a small novel. For comparison, articles in large papers like the New York Times average about 1,200 words. Each topic gets whatever level of detail I can fit into that space. For simple topics, that's a lot of space: I can probably walk through a very basic, but working, implementation of the IP protocol.

Descartes, Berkeley and Functional Reactive Programming

Descartes, Berkeley and Functional Reactive Programming

By @dmvaldman

Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) is generating buzz as an alternative to Object Oriented Programming (OOP) for certain use cases. However, an internet search quickly leads a curious and optimistic reader into the rabbit-hole of monads, functors, and other technical jargon. I’ve since emerged from this dark and lonely place with the realization that these words are mere implementation details, and that the core concepts are far more universal. In fact, the groundwork was laid down many centuries before the first computer, and has more to do with interpretations of reality, than structuring programs. Allow me to explain.

There’s an old thought experiment that goes like this:

For white hat hackers setting passwords to open Redis instances

Dear white hat attackers,

recently we observed a number of Redis instances that were targeted by a simple attack, consisting in setting a password using the CONFIG SET requirepass <password> command to instances which are left open on the internet.

This is, in my opinion, a good idea, since those Redis instances are going to be cracked anyway. I believe you are doing this in order to make Redis users aware they forgot to setup firewalling rules in order to make their instances not reachable from the outside.

Flora's Rust UI ramblings

Rust UI Difficulties

I wanted to give a little bit of a discussion on all my thinking about why UI's are a tricky to get right in Rust. I want to try and differentiate this discussion because there are a number of decent UI frameworks that have been bound to Rust. This is great! I do not want to discourage any of their work, they are wonderful members of our community.

What this is about is how it would be possible to write a good UI framework

Post-modern Linux packaging: additional reading

Post-modern Linux packaging: additional reading

Summary

This document compiles 2018 coverage around post-modern packaging technologies for Linux, including packaging formats like Snaps and Flatpaks, systems like Nix and Guix and full distros such as Atomic or Clear Linux.

This curation and commentary are current as of 18 June 2018. The curation was prepared by José Miguel Parrella (@bureado) as part of his session at Open Source Summit Japan: Package Management and Distribution in a Cloud World.

We compile these resources in an effort to provide individual developers and organizations with current coverage on the state-of-the-art and motivations of the current post-modern packaging landscape with the intention to increase readiness in experimenting with, evaluating and potentially adopting said technologies.
