Bring Continuous Integration to Your Laptop With the Drone CI Docker Extension

Even though CI makes sense for production releases, developers need to build … ⌘ Read more

JMP: Privacy and Threat Modelling
One often hears people ask if a product or service is “good for privacy” or if some practice they intend to incorporate is “good enough” for their privacy needs.  The problem with most such questions is that they often lack the necessary context, called a threat model, in order to even begin to understand how to answer them.  Understanding your own threat model (and making any implicit model you carry more explicit to yourself) is one of the most important steps you can take to im … ⌘ Read more

I want to parse the yarn status file, then show the statuses, then once that works I’ll make it fetch it online etc. Will take some time, but I feel a bit more motivated (for now) to do this in rust.

working with c++, windows, cmake and wxwidgets reminded me on why I want to learn more rust. rust and crates makes it really easy to get up and running, crossplatform. scrapping what I did today, I’ll start over and force my self to learn rust.
