Report on platform-compliance for cargo directories
Report on platform-compliance for cargo directories
When you use the Rust programming language toolchain, usually through a cargo command, it needs a place to store a bunch of config files, caches, and the cargo binary itself. By default, that place will be your operating system’s user directory, which I’m going to refer to as $HOME or ~, where it will put a .cargo folder.

Sourceware becomes an SFC member project
Sourceware becomes an SFC member project
Sourceware.org, which has long played host to many important projects, has announced that it has become a member project of the Software Freedom Conservancy — a move that has been in the works for some time. Recent discussions have inspired the Sourceware volunteers to think carefully about the future and succession of the leadership for this important hosting project. By joining SFC, Sourceware gains access to strategic advice and governance expertise to recruit new volunteers and raise funds to support work on Sourceware infrastructure. See this article for more background on those recent discussions.

Bringing Memory Safety to sudo and su
Bringing Memory Safety to sudo and su
Our Prossimo project has historically focused on creating safer software on network boundaries. Today however, we're announcing work on another critical boundary - permissions. We're pleased to announce that we're reimplementing the ubiquitous sudo and su utilities in Rust. Sudo was first developed in the 1980s. Over the decades, it has become an essential tool for performing changes while minimizing risk to an operating system. But because it's written in C, sudo has experienced many vulnerabilities related to memory safety issues.

When “free forever” means “free for the next 4 months”
When “free forever” means “free for the next 4 months”
Last week, the open-core team chat platform Mattermost announced that “Mattermost Cloud Free will no longer be offered after July 26, 2023.” This likely came as an unpleasant surprise to users on that plan, as less than a month before, Mattermost’s pricing page featured the promise that the Cloud Free …

Ruff: a fast Python linter [LWN.net]
Ruff: a fast Python linter [LWN.net]
Linters are tools that analyze a program's source code to detect various problems such as syntax errors, programming mistakes, style violations, and more. They are important for maintaining code quality and readability in a project, as well as for catching bugs early in the development cycle. Last year, a new Python linter appeared: Ruff. It's fast, written in Rust, and in less than a year it has been adopted by some high-profile projects, including FastAPI, Pandas, and SciPy.
