"We've just made an OpenSSH release to fix a remotely exploitable RCE vulnerability in ssh-agent's PKCS#11 support (CVE-2023-38408). Details at https://openssh.com/releasenotes.html#9.3p2
=> ↺ Reproducible data science with Nix, part 2 -- running {targets} pipelines with Nix
This is the second post in a series of posts about Nix. Disclaimer: I’m a super beginner with Nix. So this series of blog posts is more akin to notes that I’m taking while learning than a super detailed tutorial. So if you’re a Nix expert and read something stupid in here, that’s normal. This post is going to focus on R (obviously) but the ideas are applicable to any programming language.
So in part 1 I explained what Nix was and how you could use it to build reproducible development environments. Now, let’s go into more details and actually set up some environments and run a {targets} pipeline using it.
=> ↺ What is the fediverse and why does Threads want to join?
The fediverse — a combination of the words federation and universe — is a loose collective of decentralized servers that operate using open source standards. Unlike traditional social networks, the fediverse allows users to connect and communicate with others seamlessly across multiple platforms.
Proponents say it's similar to the early days of the internet, when Big Tech hadn't yet created social media sites that rely on advertising and use algorithms to keep you scrolling on their platforms.
My philosophy is that (nearly) everyone can and should host their own microblog, but I’m less convinced that’s true for a link site. You’re more likely to have an interesting all feed with a diverse group of users, but that quickly turns to noise with microblogs beyond even the most modest size. Working to make it more useful for many users at a time.
