If you read anything today, read this from @pluralistic - "You Should be Using an RSS Reader".
Cause you really should. Really.
Speaking of which, anyone knows of a tool somewhere that can analyze sites that don't have RSS feeds in search for changes and puts those changes on a RSS feed of its own?
'Cause that'd be really useful, you know?

Microsoft can't cloud
Microsoft, the company that lost the cryptographic keys that protected their cloud customers from attackers (and that was found out only using extended logging at extra cost)
wiz.io/blog/storm-0558-comprom…
now lost important log files.
People go to the cloud, despite the fact that cloud is more expensive than on-premises by a factor of 5, because cloud promises to get operations right so that companies can outsource that and focus on dev.
Microsoft is NOT an operations company at all.
It can't cloud.
Our investigation of the security incident disclosed by Microsoft and CISA and attributed to Chinese threat actor Storm-0558, found that this incident seems to have a broader scope than originally assumed.Shir Tamari (Wiz.io)

I remember some people expressing how annoyed they were with people reimplementing standard command line tools in Rust. But here is the reality of such reimplementations: hachyderm.io/@cliffle/11332081…
It isn’t just the memory safety. The reimplementations typically turn out much simpler, partly because of a more high-level language and partly because of usable dependency management.
If you have 20 times less code to maintain, you can do a lot more with it. Adding “nice to haves” like output coloring in C requires considerable effort, improving usability of these tools in Rust on the other hand is a no-brainer. That’s e.g. why duf and dust can present the output better than df and du.
And there are performance wins at almost zero cost. That’s partly due to relying on well-optimized libraries instead of own reimplementations (yes, dependency management again). But taking advantage of multi-threading and modern CPU features seems much easier in Rust as well.
There's a handy command line tool, fdupes, for scanning a filesystem for duplicate files and optionally removing them. It's about 6kloc of C. That seemed like kind of a fun little toy problem for this evening, so I wrote a little work-alike in Rust.Hachyderm.io

Digitale Erpressung durch App-Zwang: Immer mehr Dienste zwingen uns zur Nutzung von Apps – und das auf Kosten unserer Daten und Wahlfreiheit. Ob Online-Banking, Bonusprogramme oder Rabatte, ohne App geht oft nichts mehr. Datenschutz bleibt dabei auf der Strecke, während die Abhängigkeit von wenigen Großkonzernen wächst. Es ist höchste Zeit, Alternativen zu fordern und die digitale Selbstbestimmung zu bewahren! #AppZwang #Datenschutz #DigitaleFreiheit
