I tried a new thing with spoiler tags, but adding them is a pain because they have to be in just the right place. Still didn't quite get it right. Hrm...

    I find them super useful, so if you get them working eventually, I feel it will have been worth it! 😍

      thanks for the CVE info and VERY interesting about firefox/wayland (I don't remember a discussion about that one but things get by me) plus this "Use more shared system libraries instead of bundled ones."

      You guys and girls have been busy. I had 1GB of updates, can't remember that in a while. 106 packages plus a reboot. Everything checks out. Themes, folders, apps all seem ok.

        brent Specifically it now uses the system versions of libaom, libdav1d, libvpx, libwebp, and libwebpdemux.

            ( : @EbonJaeger but to anyone) the daniel sternberg (curl creator orcurl el jefe) explanation was fascinating. he apologized. "I can't believe I didnt see it before" he says. The old way of doing things was to switch the state of things when I filename length (as I understand it) couldn't be resolved instead of adhering to policy and failing to resolve. In that I can see the CVE. this stuff is always buried deep in the catalogs they say.
            This caught my eye:

            bounty hunting is part of your gig?

            @ReillyBrogan thank you for specifics I want to read more about this FF makeover at mozilla later although Brinkman probably has 4 pages about but I've outgrown ghacks. I digress🙂

            It's fine without spoilers! I read everything anyway! 😛

              Oh, wait, does that imply that these new libs uses joey's new glibc hwcaps work? I.e., they will support AVX2 and whatnot if the CPU supports it and mesa/nvidia hwdecode of the GPU supports it?

                  With the new update conky seems to be segfaulting inside libcairo

                    I Love this presentation.
                    Would be cool if the contributor name could be clickable or we just over mouse pointer on it and see avatar and info about the person who worked to make us all proud and cool!
                    Good job Y'all!

                      ermo Yes, if they're built with that option. Some of the referenced libs are.

                        Hi,

                        Nice, having such informative posts is really awesome.
                        Just an idea: bring them to the main website as a regular blog post as it was used to be:
                        https://getsol.us/2017/05/08/this-week-in-solus-install-44/
                        and link the discussion here.

                        Not every newcomer is checking the forums (not sure about that), but everyone considering switching / trying Solus will take a look at the main website / blog. Having more posts there is proving the project is VERY VERY active, which will lead to more users (again not sure about this statement, just thinking aloud).

                        PS: for those of us using dnscrypt and pi-holes at home, what would be the best way to disable the systemd-resolved ? I tried to disable and mask the service, but something keeps removing my custom /etc/resolv.conf ?
                        I really appreciate having one more option to choose from, systemd-resolved is not my thing.

                        Cheers,
                        PY

                          sudo mkdir -p /etc/tmpfiles.d/
sudo ln -sv /dev/null /etc/tmpfiles.d/systemd-resolve.conf

                          This will disable tmpfilesd from re-creating the /etc/resolve symlink on boot. Although, why not just configure systemd-resolve to use your pi-hole as the DNS server? That would work just as well.

                              Thanks, I will try that.
                              I would like to use the dnscrypt-proxy as my local resolver. (for many reasons and functionalities, which are not covered by systemd-resolved).

                              Cheers,

                                  The segfault is only visible if you open conky in the debugger, but yes, the visible symptom is conky not opening (because the segfault causes it to crash on startup).
