Status update, June 2020
Like last month, I am writing to you from the past, preparing this status update a day earlier than usual. This time it’s because I expect to be busy with planned sr.ht maintenance tomorrow, so I’m getting the status updates written ahead of time.
aerc has seen lots of patches merged recently thanks to the hard work of co-maintainer Reto Brunner and the many contributors who sent patches, ranging from a scrollable folder list to improvements and bugfixes for PGP support. We wrapped all of this up in the aerc 0.4.0 release in late May. Thanks to Reto and all of the other contributors for their hard work...
Can we talk about client-side certificates?
I’m working on improving the means by which API users authenticate with the SourceHut API. Today, I was reading RFC 6749 (OAuth2) for this purpose, and it got me thinking about the original OAuth spec. I recalled vaguely that it had the API clients actually sign every request, and… yep, indeed it does. This also got me thinking: what else signs requests? TLS!
OAuth is very complicated. The RFC is 76 pages long, the separate bearer token RFC (6750) is another 18, and no one has ever read either of them. Add JSON Web Tokens (RFC 7519, 30 pages), too. The process is complicated and everyone implements it...
Add a "contrib" directory to your projects
There’s a common pattern among free- and open-source software projects to include a “contrib” directory at the top of their source code tree. I’ve seen this in many projects for many years, but I’ve seen it discussed only rarely — so here we are!
The contrib directory is used as an unorganized (or, at best, lightly organized) bin of various useful things contributed by the community around the software, but which is not necessarily a good candidate for being a proper part of the software. Things in contrib should not be wired into your build system, shouldn’t be part of your automated testing, shouldn’t be included in your documentation,...
Реанимация консоли OUYA
В 2015 году стартап OUYA перешел к компании Razer. Пользователям было предложено перейти на новую консоль Forge TV от Razer. Но владельцы OUYA все еще могли пользоваться купленной консолью и приобретенными играми …пока не наступил 2019 год. В 2019 году …
The post Реанимация консоли OUYA appeared first on Ugolnik's blog.
Project Assemble Redux
Last time I posted about building PCs was in 2011. That PC lasted me quite a while - 6 years - at which point it got an upgrade that I didn’t write about (Intel 6700k on an Asus Z170, with a GTX 970). That build certainly held its own and even ran Half-Life: Alyx on a Rift just fine. But, the graphics card in particular is starting to show its age, and hey, with everyone stuck at home I figured it was time for another upgrade.
I haven’t really stopped using Macbook Pros for work - so my PC mostly gets...
Status update, May 2020
Hello, future readers! I am writing to you from one day in the past. I finished my plans for today early and thought I’d get a head start on writing the status updates for tomorrow, or rather, for today. From your reference frame, that is.
Let’s start with Wayland. First, as you might have heard, The Wayland Protocol is now free for anyone to read, and has been relicensed as CC-BY-SA. Enjoy! It’s still not quite done, but most of it’s there. In development news, wlroots continues to enjoy incremental improvements, and is being refined further and further towards a perfect citizen of the ecosystem in which it...
