The XZ attack and timeline
29. October 2021 At this point Jia Tan pops up, and the first thing we see from him is an innocuous patch to the xz repository, and while a lot of people believe he started out trying his luck with another library also known as libarchive, this is not the case, I would bet it’s more of a backup looking at the dates, being that there are a few days in between as shown in this commit.
- Zip entry size unset now honors user requested compression level
- Suspicious libarchive pull request

Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise
Potentially malicious commit by same author on libarchive: https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/pull/1609

Making Amiga IFF Thumbnails Work in Linux
Full agreement, and with the addition of xpk¹/xfd² as natural extensions to that extensibility too. I see things like xfd supporting xz¹, and I'm simultaneously amazed that it exists and happy that I don't need to do xz {,de}compression on 68k ;)
I guess we have something similar-ish with libarchive⁴, but nobody(including me) has pushed the extra mile to get file dialogs to support random compression and decompression formats.
Beyond OT: I didn't realise how much stuff was still going on at aminet, but I love love LOVE that people are still dropping new car sets for Geoff Crammond's F1GP.

WinRAR zero-day exploited since April to hack trading accounts
I don't have a preview channel install handy to check, but apparently they're using libarchive so here's the full list assuming they expose everything it supports:

Is statically compiling against glibc possible?
To compile a program with musl on a glibc system you can use cross-rs!

How to cross Compile on Debian for: Mac / FreeBSD / OpenBSD / Android ... ?
I cross compile to Mac, bsd, windows, etc cross ... Works great for me with either docker or podman.

Compiling against specific version glibc
If docker is available for you, https://github.com/cross-rs/cross is another and reliable way to solve this kind of problem. I do use it regularly.

A guide to cross-compilation in Rust
There is some built-in support in rustc for cross-compiling, but getting the build to actually work can be tricky due to the need for an appropriate linker. Instead, we’re going to use the Cross crate, which used to be maintained by the Rust Embedded Working Group Tools group.

Is there a definitive guide on cross-compiling with OpenSSL?
I have used cross before to cross compile from Linux to other Linux. It has a section on it's wiki about this. Maybe that could be of help.

Docker ARMv7 Alpine Rust builder
You can use cross to build your application and copy the artifacts into an alpine armv7 container. It would also build faster due to using cross compilation rather than QEMU.
-
Compiling Linux to Mac in CI/CD
Looks like cross is the easiest way to get something cross-compiled but its Mac support is blocked behind building your own build image. Even that repo says that it might be broken.
-
How to you develop in containers?
Bonus: if you’re working with Rust and doing a lot of cross platform stuff, check out cross. It runs QEMU in docker so you can run tests on a bunch of different emulated targets easily- literally a one line setup, it’s kind of magical.

What are some stuff that Rust isn't good at?
It's also not as naturally cross-compilable as Go, though that's partly a side-effect of not accepting being a semi-closed ecosystem to achieve that and cross exists as a stop-gap while things like cargo-zigbuild explore less drastic options.
What are some alternatives?
