Techrights-secwas not generated.  Which script is supposed to do that?Mar 10 06:35
Techrights-secI think it is /home/glr/update-index.shMar 10 06:35
schestowitzI am going to rerun that. I changed the workflow a bit due to the disconnection the night before, as it necessitated a merge of logsMar 10 06:35

schestowitzI have just rerun that script. The problem was, I think, partly due to the reboot. I'll need to study how to overcome some edge cases. Is that file there now and seems OK? It looks OK to me...Mar 10 07:06
schestowitzOh, I think I see a butMar 10 07:23
schestowitzOh, I think I see a bugMar 10 07:23
schestowitzbug fixes, details in irc logs, the file has been regenerated, this time correctly, I hopeMar 10 07:55
schestowitzI did not understand sed correctlyMar 10 07:55
Techrights-secIt would help to adjust the layout within the script, tooMar 10 07:56
schestowitzyes, remember it all started with a little hack for one person and I am always chasing articles, mail etc.Mar 10 07:56

Techrights-secI'm still unfamiliar with IPFSMar 10 08:07
schestowitzit is actually quite rudimentary and simple, not many option. ipns is more intimidating.Mar 10 08:07
schestowitzI will modify the irc blog posts to include the corrected ipfs sectionMar 10 08:09

schestowitz                    <p>I started contributing to the alternative Coreutils developed in Rust. The project aims at proposing a drop-in replacement of the C-based GNU Coreutils, and I wanted to evaluate if this could be used to run a regular Debian. Similar to what I have done with clang.debian.net a few years ago (rebuilding the Debian archive using clang instead of gcc). </p>Mar 10 09:40
schestowitz                    <p> I expect that most of the readers know what is the Coreutils. It is a set of programs performing simple operations (copy/move file, change permissions/ownership, etc). Even if some commands are from the 70s, they are at the base of Linux, Unix and macOS. While different implementations can be found, they are trying to remain compatible in terms of arguments, options, etc. This implementation of Coreutils Mar 10 09:40

schestowitz                    <p>Possibly due to the slightly different question, possibly because I’ve categorized one or two vulnerabilities differently, possibly because I’m biased as heck, but my count end up at: </p>Mar 10 09:42
schestowitz                    <p> 51 out of 98 security vulnerabilities are due to C mistakes </p>Mar 10 09:42
schestowitz                    <p> That’s still 52%. (you can inspect my analysis and submit issues/pull-requests against the vuln.pm file) and yes, 51 flaws that could’ve been avoided if curl had been written in a memory safe language. This contradicts what I’ve said in the past, but I will also show you below that the numbers have changed and I still was right back then! </p></blockquote></li>Mar 10 09:42
