Part of the difficulty of picking up #Rust as a language is that the only "newcomer persona" that *wouldn't* have to learn new concepts (beyond syntax and language trivia) is somebody who has a lot of experience in *both* OCaml/Haskell/Scala *and* C/C++. That is an uncommon combination, so most people will be exposed to new concepts, one way or another.

There are plans to rewrite the mold linker in Rust. As well as aspirations to make it a complete drop-in replacement for GNU ld on Linux.

"We are rewriting mold from C++ to Rust, and 2.42.1 is likely to be the last C++ version of the linker [..]. The Rust version of mold will be released as mold 3.0."

"One of the main goals of the mold 3.x series is to make mold suitable for adoption as /usr/bin/ld by Linux distributions."

#Rust #Linux

because I keep biting off more than I can chew. I wanted to release a small utility first to get familiar again with #GNOME / #GTK / #Flatpak development.

also something that I need myself. a week worth of hacking.

introducing Bobby: a SQLite file viewer.

#rust

Alt...

GNOME application window showing a database table with 4 columns and many rows. The toolbar has a table switcher widget and the opened file name.

small update to Bobby's app icon based on feedback from @tbernard.

#linux #gnome #app #icon #design #rust #sql #sqlite #data

Alt...

Bobby's about dialog showing the new icon: two stacked windows, blue and white, showing 5 table rows each. The front white one has the second row highlighted in blue.

with #GNOME 51 coming up in the next few days, I need at least one feature to avoid a lonely "Bump runtime" #Bobby release.

so I've added fuzzy search to the backend. it's not very smart: just a LIKE query on every column (ignoring number columns on alphabetic strings), but it does the job.

now it's a matter of hooking up a search bar. :)

#RadioFreeLibrary is up on #codeberg at https://codeberg.org/cmars/radio-free-library. It still only serves a placeholder page though. Adding an SD card for content next.

SD card skills here will transfer to my next #rust #esp32 project.

My only good iron tip is a chisel that's probably too large for the ESP32-C5 board pads, I need a finer one. At one point I soldered a pad to the MCU housing and tried to vacuum it out, but was pretty hard to tell whether I got it all. Then espflash couldn't find it, thought for sure I'd ruined it. Nope, my tty devices just decided to swap around for a new board!

From Fake DocuSign to ScreenConnect: Attack Blocked

Threat actors exploited trusted brands and cloud services in a sophisticated web campaign combining fraudulent DocuSign workflows, Florida healthcare screening lures, and deceptive cloud infrastructure to deploy ConnectWise ScreenConnect Access clients. The attack utilized Cloudflare Pages hosting with fake Cloudflare verification workflows to establish legitimacy. Victims were socially engineered to download a ZIP archive containing a malicious HTA file that employed Base64-encoded VBScript, fake Adobe interfaces, UAC privilege escalation, and Microsoft Defender SmartScreen registry modifications. The attack leveraged living-off-the-land techniques using native Windows tools like mshta.exe, curl.exe, and msiexec.exe for silent ScreenConnect installation, ultimately providing unauthorized remote access. The campaign was classified as Zero Hour Fraudulent and blocked at the web entry point before payload delivery could occur.

Artifactory Under Attack: In-the-Wild Exploitation of CVE-2026-42016, CVE-2026-42018 & CVE-2026-82329

Active exploitation of three critical vulnerabilities in JFrog Artifactory has been identified, with attackers chaining CVE-2026-42016, CVE-2026-42018, and CVE-2026-82329 to bypass authentication and gain administrative control. CVE-2026-42018 exposes internal anonymous-user tokens, CVE-2026-42016 enables privilege escalation through insufficient token validation, and CVE-2026-82329 allows unauthenticated access to administrative privileges. Post-exploitation activities include creating persistent administrator accounts, deploying malicious Groovy plugins for code execution, and installing Rust-based backdoors. Exploitation was observed between August 15 and September 8, 2026, affecting multiple organizations. Data indicates 67-69% of organizations running Artifactory had vulnerable instances at initial publication, with slow patching velocity for lower-severity CVEs despite active exploitation across environments.

Soo, sigh, I was dismissed yesterday from a relatively new job just before I could deploy a huge application, citing my lack of AI coding use

It was during my probationary period so it seems like they could have dismissed me for just about anything

Anyway now looking to get #fedihired I'm a senior .NET and JavaScript developer who has worked with almost every popular framework/library in both of those ecosystems in a professional environment

I have also used Python to write simulations of nuclear reactors and have worked with bioinformatics software

I have even once single-handedly and successfully defended a project to the Cabinet Office of the United Kingdom

I have also done quite a bit of personal and open source work with rust

Free to start immediately, I was thankfully paid 1 month salary in lieu of notice

Edit:

I am based in the UK, but have worked with teams in timezones as far out as Eastern Australia and the Western US

NEW COMPILER JUST DROPPED

rustc_codegen_utc is an alternative code generation backend for rustc, in the same architectural family as rustc_codegen_llvm, rustc_codegen_gcc and rustc_codegen_cranelift. It plugs into the same backend interface and connects rustc’s shared compiler machinery to the MSVC backend (aka “UTC“).

as mentioned one of the main reasons was rust/c++ interop and compatibility with existing MSVC-based tooling at microsoft:

It participates in a broader platform ecosystem strategy to support:

High compatibility with the Windows tooling eco-system and ABI
Binary hardening and code security features
Post-link compliance, analysis, and servicing (including Hotpatch)
Seamless Rust/C++ interop for hybrid projects
Cross-language inlining, optimization, and SPGO (Sample Profile Guided Optimization)
Debugging and crash-dump analysis
Profiling, diagnostics, and coverage

These capabilities and workflows have been built over many years with the MSVC tech-stack. Connecting rustc to that backend lets Rust build on the same platform investment, with perfect compatibility out of the box, rather than requiring a parallel implementation of every Windows-specific capability.

The result is a unified code generation platform for Rust and C++ on Windows.
