The SQLite optimizations must be carried out at two different times: once in a unique and permanent way for the database and another time for each connection that is made. Below are the configurations that should be made in each case.

Unique and Permanent Configurations

These configurations are set only once and affect the database persistently, meaning they do not need to be reconfigured each time a connection is established:

PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL;

Sets the database journal mode to "WAL" (Write-Ahead Logging), which improves performance in concurrent operations.

FAQ on the xz-utils backdoor (CVE-2024-3094)

This is a living document. Everything in this document is made in good faith of being accurate, but like I just said; we don't yet know everything about what's going on.

Update: I've disabled comments as of 2025-01-26 to avoid everyone having notifications for something a year on if someone wants to suggest a correction. Folks are free to email to suggest corrections still, of course.

Background

Kickstart Files

These files are here to install a minimal environment (i.e., no desktop) for Fedora Linux 38 and Rocky Linux 9. They're designed to partition a single disk device, creating a UEFI partition, a /boot partition, and logical volumes for an 8 GB swap partition, and the majority of the space for a single / volume.

Usage

The files are designed so you need only change a few minor things to make it work for you:

Set a hostname in the network options
Specify the storage device for the ignoredisk and bootloader options (usually something like sda, vda, or nvme0n1)

Because cross-compiling binaries for Windows is easier than building natively

I want Microsoft to do better, want Windows to be a decent development platform-and yet, I constantly see Microsoft playing the open source game: advertising how open-source and developer friendly they are - only to crush developers under the heel of the corporate behemoth's boot.

The people who work at Microsoft are amazing, kind, talented individuals. This is aimed at the company's leadership, who I feel has on many occassions crushed myself and other developers under. It's a plea for help.

The source of truth for the 'open source' C#, C++, Rust, and other Windows SDKs is proprietary

You probably haven't heard of it before, but if you've ever used win32 API bindings in C#, C++, Rust, or other languages, odds are they were generated from a repository called microsoft/win32metadata.

Raspberry Pi, Static HTTPS site with Docker and Nginx

This tutorial is dated Oct 2021, if it's much further on than that this information might be out of date.

This is a guide on setting up a static HTTPS website on your raspberry pi using docker and nginx. The aim is to have this running on the raspberry pi and to be able to access it from a host computer on the same local network. You should already be able to ssh into your pi from your host computer and have raspberry pi OS set up.

September 2022:

This has spread to a far wider audience than I had anticipated - probably my fault for using a title that is in hindsight catnip for link aggregators. I wrote this back in 2021 just as a bunch of personal thoughts of my experiences using Rust over the years (not always well thought through), and don't intend on trying to push them further, outside of personal experiments and projects.

Managing a living language is challenging and difficult work, and I am grateful for all the hard work that the Rust community and contributors put in given the difficult constraints they work within. Many of the things I listed below are not new, and there's been plenty of difficult discussions about many of them over the years, and some are being worked on or postponed, or rejected for various good reasons. For more thoughts, please see my comment below.
