This whole write-up is great, but the Hackers-inspired video demoing the exploit just clinches it. Gold. signal.org/blog/cellebrite-vul

Now that I’ve got meaningful error messages in my logs if/when things go sideways, and I’ve not managed to cause a panic with bad requests, A Rust Site Engine is at 0.4.0 on my way to 1.0. Next up: admin portal, support for user-defined Tera templates, and full documentation.

Released another alpha version of A Rust Site Engine. Using Tera, Pulldown CMark, Routerify, and SimpleCSS to serve pages rendered from Markdown, along with static content. There’s a roadmap to 1.0 in the readme now, and I’m aiming to hit my targets in the next few weeks. Next up: custom Error types so I can eliminate/reduce the use of unwraps.

With a demo of a site running arse, some.bullsh.art

In the process of setting up monitoring of various services my team is responsible for, I found myself back at references @kyle shared many years ago that hold up today. Here's a quick one on `sar` - linuxjournal.com/content/sysad

Ah the joys of having one of the legacy systems you’ve just spent the last several hours discussing the perils of run out of file handles right at quitting time. Resolved rapidly, but not really my favorite way to close out a long day.

My recent adventures with have really leveled up my general software development skills. Tasks that might have gone nowhere in a full day in other languages are now taking me but a few minutes, and work the first time. That leaves more time for the management side of my job...

Updated my config with some excellent bits from this post: robert.kra.hn/posts/2021-02-07

I made a few changes specific to my own environment, and am enjoying the updates already.

Released an alpha version of A Rust Site Engine, or arse, today. There are features and documentation to add, but it works for a minimal site with a default template using simplecss for styling. some.bullsh.art is running on arse now because I needed a good laugh and the jokes just make themselves.

Like the latest fashion,
Like a spreading disease,
Devs will login all the way to production,
Getting root shells with the greatest of ease.

Pentests staked out your whole network locale,
And if they pop your Jenkins then it's all over pal.
If one dev exploit gets a shell in Linux,
They're gonna bash it up, slash it up, hack it up, prod's not up.

@Gina yup, 4th winter is here with... snow in April. WTF even.

A few steps further on the Rust site generator. Writing tests first is helping quite a bit.

Got started on the Rust site generator I started working on to handle a blog my fiancée wants to make today. I organized some thoughts as issues on my Gitea, and then moved forward writing tests for the interface I wanted. By the end, I ticked many boxes and largely finished the argument handling. Configuring the library and binary logging is next, and then the actual server route handling.

All of my active projects are now dual-licensed Apache 2.0 and MIT. I've also moved the project pages to my Gitea instance.

crates.io/crates/connchk got slicker arg parsing (thanks to the clap crate) along with new licenses. Tests are on the agenda here.

crates.io/crates/staart got a new license, and in its next release will get better arg parsing (but stay stdlib only) and tests.

git.staart.one/ajmartinez/ssh- got a new license, and might see some refactoring in the near future.

CI/CD to come!

I do believe I’ll be changing to a dual license on my projects tomorrow.

Added some issues on one of my projects to help get me started. If I get any free time I’ll start writing tests, and then making them pass.

After a flurry of last minute fixes to problems arising from my inability to guess what’s in code I’ve never seen, I managed to issue quite a few patches and deploy fixes to my infrastructure by way of flawlessly executed tasks by my new hire. Today’s overall stress level was still unacceptable, but the silver lining is that the growth in my team means the load is shared just a little more and I no longer stand alone. I’ll take that as a win.

It was supposed to be a quiet and relaxed Monday.

It was not.
