Perhaps they should ask Copilot how their templating system works.

My line of business is entirely a Microsoft shop so everything we’ve ever written has been for MSSQL.

That being said, I can understand the benefits of having a choice in backend. For example, for our Zabbix deployment some engineer just installed mariadb+zabbix on a server and called it a day. This has caused us no end of troubles (ibdata misconfigured, undo files too small, etc). After the last time I had to rebuild it due to undo file corruption I swore that if it broke again I was switching to postgres. So far knocks on wood we haven’t had any major issues. We’re still looking into and planning for a postgres migration but we’re hoping to hold out for a little longer prep time.

Maybe I should contribute a MSSQL engine for Zabbix so I can move it to a platform I’m more comfortable with. ;)

Each distribution is different but Arch has stated that they did have the exploit artifact in their version of xz but the artifact was not loaded into memory with sshd as their process does not link sshd with liblzma library.

More details below but highly recommend upgrade/downgrade anyways to remove the exploit code version.

While the full extent of the exploit is not fully known, it seems specifically targeted at the sshd binary on deb and rpm based systems. If you’ve got that service disabled it should not have been running actively on your system. You should still perform whatever is needed to downgrade, but I would say you’re in the clear.

IANAL, but this is likely a legal gray area regarding software licenses, especially if you read the AGPL code prior to writing your library. Companies that do this sort of thing professionally have a/b teams that don’t speak to each other (one reads and generates design documents, the other uses those design documents to write a new library) to prevent a lawsuit for violating licensing terms. They can claim that the developers writing the library didn’t copy any code from the source library.

As for the typedef, it’s most likely considered a public definition document. I would think it would be like a public C# interface, where it’s only the method declarations and expected parameters and the actual implementation is not included at all.

If you’re considering publishing this or using it commercially you should definitely consult a lawyer that specializes in copyright.

There’s a tutorial that leads towards the first dungeon boss of the game, but after that it looks like you make your own challenges. There’s a few bosses around my level that I’ll be taking on next, then I’m probably going to explore to see if I can find more dungeons.

Honestly I would describe it as Ark-lite. It has base building/taming and that’s pretty fun, and you can also get random encounters at your base. The leveling system is a bit grindy. There are dungeons and bosses in the world to go find and explore. The map is huge, I think I’ve hardly explored a tenth of it.

Been playing about 15 hours or so and enjoyed it, but the game is definitely early access. I’ve had a number of crashes, fell through the world a few times, etc. I’d give it a month or two if that bothers you.

Since this is a github pages site, the whole thing can be downloaded from the git repo: https://github.com/xenevel/dark-souls-2-sotfs-cheat-sheet

Easiest is to select the green Code button and click Download ZIP. You should be able to open the index.html page in your browser and use it like normal. YMMV if this uses content/data from other sources/sites.

I’ve been watching this guy’s backlog on building a kernel and bootloader from scratch. A bit monotone but amazing technical knowledge. https://youtube.com/@nanobyte-dev
