@nixCraft make.

It's ugly, weird and convoluted. But also omnipresent. Focused. Cross-language. Predictable.

Uglier and dirtier than node package.json-"scripts", rake, ./scripts/, 'artisan', cargo, go or any framework- or language specific runner/builder/deployer. But it's always there. Consistency++

I'll add a simple `make install, make test, make build, make run, make deploy` to each project - from web to rust. It wraps the projects' native tooling, r calls docker, or shell scripts etc.

AUR is a user repo, which means that If you install any aur package, you’re trusting the user who is maintaining this package.

But if you install aur enough, you may install packages and libraries in your system that may break stuff.

AUR is not containerized, which means that these packages shares libs and files with your system. If a package installs a lib unsupported by official repo, it will certainly break your system.

I like aur, but I always try to install the least amount of packages from this source as possible.

This is a public service announcement from your friendly #linux nerd: if you decide to ever install #archlinux, don’t use the arch install script that’s provided. It’s highly advised against, even by Arch’s maintainers, with one reason being that any passwords created during the installation process are created in plaintext. Not salted, encrypted, fucking plaintext. Manually install Arch yourself, so you can actually be secure.

Who’s boneheaded idea was it to store passwords in plaintext for the installer script?? That’s a huge secops #failure, and the script maintainer should be flogged with 50 wet noodles for this oversight. /s on that last sentence, of course. But they shouldn’t have defaulted to plain text.

This is such a bad idea on so many levels I don’t even know where to begin. #secops

Edit: source: per the arch wiki ( wiki.archlinux.org/title/Archi )archinstall stores all user and (secondary) disk encryption passwords in plain text.

There's lot more to lunar exploration than building big rockets!

Here are the 11 technology development projects recently selected by NASA for long-term exploration on the Moon and in space.

The projects were chosen under the agency’s 6th Tipping Point opportunity. NASA funding = $150 million, with some cost-sharing by each company.
