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
EbonJaeger 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...
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.confThis 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.
elusian I don't have segdefault as you mentionned on github but my conky desn't boot, I suppose lua script is not loaded too.
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,
PY
presianbg Ah, I assume you need DNSSEC support then? It's a shame that systemd-resolve doesn't have good support for it yet, that was a huge point of contention when we were discussing integrating it. systemd-resolve is a huge QOL feature for most users however which is why it won out it the end. It integrates quite seamlessly with NetworkManager which means that VPNs that push out DNS servers work pretty much as users expect them to (combined with DNS routes received when roaming between different networks). I've got a bunch of DNSSEC-related issues followed on the systemd tracker so hopefully once the issues are resolved we can enable DNSSEC again by default.
Side-note, would you be interested in becoming the maintainer for dnsscrypt-proxy? I notice it hasn't been updated in a while and usually it's best if people who are actively using a package are the ones who keep it updated.
Discord 0.0.32 cherry-picked
In reverse order:
YES, I would like to give it a try with maintaining some packages... maybe dnscrypt-proxy and VCMI, maybe others once I get familiar with the process. (I will give it a try in the end of the month due traveling plans).
Of course DNSSEC is nice to have, but I prefer dnscrypt-proxy over systemd-resolved because of the forwarding, cloaking and filter/block capabilities (the config files are very easy to maintain and clear to read).
I didn't knew systemd-resolved is fixing the DNS path resolution via VPN, but I still prefer the "static routes", which dnscrypt-proxy is offering.
Do not get me wrong, having systemd-resolved enabled by default is 100 times better than what we had before and really appreciate it.
Hey. How about supergfx plasmoid for KDE? 
Very useful thing. This plasmoid I see in Nobara linux
For me everything was ok, except the switch to systemd-resolved.
Not actually a problem, but since dns via systemd is new to me, I am not sure how to manage this, eg changing my primary dns.
Any suggestions, resources, docs on this ?
