That leaves UCEPROTECTL3

Is anyone still using them?

On email privacy: can I store my own email and relay them through an email provider? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

I see a lot of spam coming from sendgrid, so I wonder how long they can continue operating that way until they get blocked completely by one of the larger mailbox providers.

The Defer Technical Specification: It Is Time (thephd.dev)
 

For the big brain 10,000 meter view, defer ⸺ and the forthcoming TS 25755 ⸺ is a general-purpose block/scope-based “undo” mechanism that allows you to ensure that no matter what happens a set of behavior (statements) are run.

Emacs 30.1 released (lists.gnu.org)
 

Emacs 30.1 includes security fixes for a shell injection vulnerability in man.el (CVE-2025-1244), and for arbitrary code execution with flymake (CVE-2024-53920). We recommend upgrading immediately.

Time to make C the COBOL of this century (The Register - Opinion) (www.theregister.com)
 

There's no perhaps about the FBI and CISA getting snippy at buffer overflows. These people worry about exploits that threaten car-crash incidents in enterprise IT, and they've seen enough to get angry. It's not that making mistakes is a crime when writing code. No human endeavor worth doing is without error. It's more that this class of bug is avoidable, and has been for decades, yet it pours out of big tech like woodworm from a church pew. Enough already, they say. They are right.

Changes in Emacs 29.2 (www.gnu.org)
 

This is a bug-fix release with no new features.

  • Changes in Specialized Modes and Packages in Emacs 29.2

    • Tramp

      • New user option 'tramp-show-ad-hoc-proxies'. When non-nil, ad-hoc definitions are kept in remote file names instead of showing the shortcuts.

  • Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 29.2

    • 'with-sqlite-transaction' rolls back changes if its BODY fails. If the BODY of the macro signals an error, or committing the results of the transaction fails, the changes will now be rolled back.

which linux distro do you NOT like, and why? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

"they put ads in the terminal" isn't really accurate.

Their "ubuntu-advantage-tools" adds information to one of their other products to the output of apt. You can easily get rid of that by uninstalling/replacing "ubuntu-advantage-tools". It's definitely not like they are selling ad space in your terminal to third parties.

Snapless Ubuntu in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I am using a single package from Mint, the rest is Ubuntu 23.04. Mint would otherwise be based on Ubuntu 22.04?

Snapless Ubuntu (programming.dev)
 

Not sure what others are doing to use Ubuntu (23.04) without snaps, but this is what I am doing:

  • for Firefox I found a guide here
  • for chromium I am actually using the Linux Mint packages (which work absolutely fine), and I have just set up a small repository I can add to apt:
deb [arch=amd64 allow-insecure=yes] http://snapless.cmeerw.net/ victoria upstream
  • this just syncs from Linux Mint and only republishes chromium in the Packages file (with downloads redirected to a Linux Mint mirror). BTW, I am not signing these...

What are others doing?
