An honorable goal 😀

Unfortunately not. But I try to work on it a few hours every week in my spare time. I think that having an easy and free crate registry is crucial for the adaption of Rust in the commercial space. Companies don't want to share their code publicly on crates.io. My full time job is in the IT security sector. My hope is that by pushing Rust as a safe language, we can close some fundamental design flaws that languages like C/C++ introduced and make software landscape more secure.

I get the feeling that there are much more game engines in rust, than games :P

How to organise Firefox bookmarks in folder? (programming.dev)

submitted 6 months ago by secana@programming.dev to c/nix@programming.dev

Hi,

I want to sort my bookmarks in Firefox with home-manager into folders, but fail.

Simple example:

firefox = {
      profiles."user" = {
        bookmarks = [
          {
            name = "Nix";
            toolbar = true;
            bookmarks = [
              {
                name = "NixOS Search";
                url = "https://search.nixos.org/packages";
              }
              {
                name = "NixOS Options";
                url = "https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/unstable/options";
              }
              {
                name = "Home-Manager Options";
                url = "https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.xhtml";
              }
              {
                name = "Home-Manager Options Search";
                url = "https://home-manager-options.extranix.com/";
              }
            ];
          }
        ];
      };

My assumption was that I get a folder "Nix" in the bookmarks toolbar that contains the four bookmarks. But instead the four bookmarks are added to the toolbar side-by-side without being in a folder.

How can I achieve that?

How to set file permissions with home-manager? (programming.dev)

submitted 7 months ago by secana@programming.dev to c/nix@programming.dev

3 comments fedilink

Hi! I ran into the issue that my kube config, which I manage with home-manager is world read- and writable. I hoped that there is an easy option to set file permissions with home-manager, e.g. home.file."foo".permissions = 0644 but something like this does not exist. All solutions a short web search turns up are overly complicated for something that seems to be a trivial task.

What is the easiest way to set permissions for a file with home-manager?

Ross Anderson, professor and famed author of ‘Security Engineering,’ passes away by secana in c/security@programming.dev

That's a real loss. Such a great person. Met him last year on conference. There aren't many people as influential in cyber security as him.

I released the next minor version of https://kellnr.io which support the display of crates, cached from crates.io, in the UI now. For the first iteration of that feature, they are only shown and searchable in the crate overview and a click forwards to crates.io, as not all meta information is stored in kellnr, for cached crates. That may change in the future, if someone requests it.

I started to implement a new feature for https://kellnr.io. Currently, only private crates are displayed in the UI, but the users wished for the possibility to display cached crates from crates.io, as well. Hopefully a new version will be out in the next days, with the new feature.

I had the same experience. If you can live with a gpl license, maybe https://slint.dev/ is an alternative. I'll wait which UI framework becomes the predominantly one, before I start using rust for gui stuff.

I added stream support to https://github.com/GDATASoftwareAG/vaas but unfortunately didn't find time to work on any other project, as my free time goes into plastering walls in the real world.

Meta: How can we grow this community? by secana in c/rust@programming.dev

[-] secana@programming.dev 5 points 8 months ago

That's true. If you are a rust beginner, you find so many good posts on Reddit for simple questions just by googling. Lemmy never pops up with a good answer.

I'll try to post more. Maybe cross posting from here to Mastodon helps. I've the impression that the Rust community is more active there.

Any advantages over distrobox? Sounds very similar.

Help needed: Make Vue UI reactive by secana in c/vuejs@programming.dev

[-] secana@programming.dev 6 points 11 months ago

Thanks for correcting that. You are right, I want responsiveness not reactivity.
