OpenBSD has the wonderful pledge() and unveil() syscalls:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXO6nelFt-E

Not only are they super useful (the program itself can drop privileges – like, it can initialize itself, read some files, whatever, and then tell the kernel that it will never do anything like that again; if it does, e.g. by being exploited through a bug, it gets killed by the kernel), but they are also extremely easy to use.

Imagine a server program with a connected socket in file descriptor 0. Before reading any data from the client, the program can do this:

unveil("/var/www/whatever", "r");
unveil(NULL, NULL);
pledge("stdio rpath", NULL);

Done. It’s now limited to reading files from that directory, communicating with the existing socket, stuff like that. But it cannot ever read any other files or exec() into something else.

I can’t wait for the day when we have something like this on Linux. There have been some attempts, but it’s not that easy. And it’s certainly not mainstream, yet.

I need to have a closer look at Linux’s Landlock soon (“soon”), but this is considerably more complicated than pledge()/unveil():

Create a string from a byte array, but the result isn’t a string, it’s a cow 🐮, so you need another to_string() to convert your “string” into a string.

- https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/string/struct.String.html#method.from_utf8_lossy
- https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/borrow/enum.Cow.html

I still have a lot to learn.

(into_owned() instead of to_string() also works and makes more sense to me, it’s just that the compiler suggested to_string() first, which led to this funny example.)

So I was using this function in Rust:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/path/struct.Path.html#method.display

Note the little 1.0.0 in the top right corner, which means that this function has been “stable since Rust version 1.0.0”. We’re at 1.87 now, so we’re good.

Then I compiled my program on OpenBSD with Rust 1.86, i.e. just one version behind, but well ahead of 1.0.0.

The compiler said that I was using an unstable library feature.

Turns out, that function internally uses this:

https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ffi/struct.OsStr.html#method.display

And that is only available since Rust 1.87.

How was I supposed to know this? 🤨🫩

"Criar um modelo de número único de identificação para as pessoas e em-
presas, assim evitando que a mesma pessoa tenha de ter número de utente,
de cartão de cidadão, de contribuinte, de Segurança Social, de eleitor, etc;"

Só que a Constituição Portuguesa, no artigo 35º, nº5, estabelece que "É proibida a atribuição de um número nacional único aos cidadãos". Quer dizer, eles podem estar a dizer que querem mudar este número na constituição, mas também foram eles que disseram que uma revisão constitucional não é uma prioridade deste governo... em que ficamos?

de cartão de cidadão, de contribuinte, de Segurança Social, de eleitor, etc;"

Só que a Constituição Portuguesa, no artigo 35º, nº5, estabelece que "É proibida a atribuição de um número nacional único aos cidadãos". Quer dizer, eles podem estar a dizer que querem mudar este número na constituição, mas também foram eles que disseram que uma revisão constitucional não é uma prioridade deste governo... em que ficamos?

#ptpol

A #desburocratização prometida pelo novo #Governo é o que já se suspeitava, agora vertida na sua proposta de programa de governo. Esta frase resume bem o que se pretende fazer:

"Tudo isto assenta num princípio essencial: o da confiança. O Estado deve confiar
nos cidadãos, reduzindo exigências injustificadas, adotando regras como o deferimento tácito e mecanismos de controlo eficazes e justos. A confiança é a base de uma administração mais ágil, mais humana e mais justa – e o antídoto contra a
corrupção que se alimenta da opacidade e da lentidão."

Se acham que isto não parece muito mal, porque afinal só se fala em tirar as exigências que não são justificadas, e que apesar da ideia central é no de confiar que ninguém vai agir mal continuam a haver mecanismos de controlo eficazes... note-se que esses são "mecanismos de controlo e fiscalização a posteriori" - isto é, só depois do mal estar feito é que se vai ver se o Governante submeteu os dados que devia, se o concurso público não era para uma obra que até já estava feita, ou uma dessas muitas coisas que temos de confiar que não vão acontecer.

Em suma: vamos ter menos corrupção porque vamos ter menos e piores mecanismos para detectar a corrupção, e como é tudo mais simples e rápido e algumas coisas até passam a ser legais, pode ser que isto funcione.

@bender Yeah, well, it’s a bit like twtxt. There *is* a Gopher community, but it’s small. I actually don’t like that HTTP is so easily accessible. I don’t like it that much when people post links to my site on HackerNews or something like that. Too much exposure.

Gopher is a small world. It’s slow and cozy.

And much like twtxt, the protocol is simple(r), so it’s easier to tinker with it.

@prologic yes, I never understood you using micro.blog (and paying for it, nonetheless!). I don’t like it (as a platform), and have an unexplainable dislike for its creator.

@prologic I am finding writing my Notes very therapeutic. Just create a markdown file and commit, push, and it’s live. Whatever comes to mind, whatever I want to keep as relevant. Silly things, more like a dump.

If I feel like it, I do. If not, I don’t. Not social, not intended for anyone to see them. I am enjoying it!
