IIUC pingora is not standalone, but a set of rust crates? Should be already supported by nixpkgs through rust builders.

Didn't get a single reqeust, so this had less impact than expected. Thought there was more old rusty companies looking for a non-retired engineer.

I wanted to see what the COBOL job market looked like. So I learned the superficial basics of COBOL in a day or two, just so I wouldn't be a complete fraud when I put it into my linkedin profile as a skill to see what happens.

I thought it was pretty funny.

Can anyone explain the "professional developers" percentages to me?

What's the threat model here? I can think of no DNS shennanigans that would not be detectable through the authentication mechainsms in TLS (chain-of-trust). Not having to trust network infrastructure is exactly what TLS is for.

What is it that you're doing that is still not using some form of authenticated encryption? Almost everything is https, ssh, almost all mailservers have tls support, irc does have tls support.. What's left that needs to be encrypted by a VPN?

How do you know?

I'm not sure if it's larger :)

 

tl;dr image buildable with some patches

I suspect this is a problem with your particular combination of hardware and kernel. I doubt this has something to do with NixOS itself, so I would try to see if there's something to be found in the ArchWiki. The solution might be to pick a different kernel and/or using paricular kernel modules/module options. Good luck

I think would just try to compile it from source. Using a different package manager seems very weird. I suspect getting the source to build on nixOS is more or less equivalent in terms of effort than to create a derivation. I have done so in the past and I ended up pushing them to nixpkgs. If compiling is out of the question, I guess docker but I havn't had to do that, yet.

 
 

Here is a link to the currently open github issues for the nixpkgs repository that are tagged "1.severity: security". Use this to browse around; some of them are simple package version update requests, some are pretty involved changes. If you're bored, why not pick one up? :-).

 

The 23.05 release was made possible due to the efforts of 1867 contributors, who authored 36566 commits since the previous release. Our thanks go the contributors who also take care of the continued stability and security of our stable release.

NixOS is already known as the most up to date distribution while also being the distribution with the most packages. This release saw 16240 new packages and 13524 updated packages in Nixpkgs. We also removed 13466 packages in an effort to keep the package set maintainable and secure.
