  • It depends on the provenance of the code and who (if anyone) is downstream.

    A project that's packaged in multiple distros is more likely to be reliable than a project that only exists on github and provides its own binary builds.

  • Slightly off-topic, but I hate that this website only loads the images after I scroll to them. Is that the website doing that, or my browser?

    I spent ages looking at one near the top and in the meantime, my browser could have been loading all the images further down the page. But instead it didn't, and so when I scrolled down, now it has to load each image as I reach it. I estimate about 16MB of images in total, since each thumbnail is actually the full size image.

  • Thanks for the reply.

    Currently, most packages are built from git HEAD on alpine:edge or debian-unstable build containers. So if the fix for this affected libwebp is shipped to the images that the build containers are based on (likely because we use edge/unstable images), then any affected packages would also automatically receive this fix.

    How often do packages get rebuilt? Is it only when there's a new version? The problem in that case would be that a package that is no longer developed (or has very long release cycles) would not receive the fix.

  • Does it store a complete dependency graph for each of your statically built (or containerized) applications?

    For example, if there's an exploit for libwebp and you need to update all the binaries that link it, can it find which binaries need updating from that information?

    Who are you? Even a known and respected cryptographer would not release a tool with such confidence. First you need to request testing and code review before you announce to people that it is a "secure, anonymous file-sharing platform."

    This is not a community for sharing your personal programming projects for feedback. If you post here, there will be non-technical users who don't know how to evaluate the security of tools and won't understand they are taking a huge risk by using your unknown alpha release project.

  • it doesn’t cause me any big problems

    Can you be sure about that?

    I have a friend who says he has a terrible memory and he often asks me to tell him about things that happened in the past that we experienced together. You should definitely ask people close to you to do the same.

    This was such a great RTS/FPS hybrid at the time. I looked for RTS/FPS games a couple of years ago when I remembered it, and the genre is all but dead. I did spend a lot of time playing Silica though, which is still in early access. I haven't checked in on that in a while now though.

  • They front a huge percentage of the internet, so you can pretty much guarantee that all of the three-letter agencies have their fingers in Cloudflare's infrastructure, whether they cooperate willingly or not.

    If you care about your privacy you should avoid these kind of infrastructure monopolies, since they are such a juicy target.
