C-rusted: The Advantages of Rust, in C, without the Disadvantages
kcgi describes itself as being "minimal" whereas actix-web calls itself "powerful", "extremely fast" and as having "a lot of features out of box"... seems about as fair as comparing the 320MB Apache HTTP Server repo against the 52KB tiny_http library

Is Rust good choice for the backend of any mobile application?
I'm developing the backend of https://www.cozydate.com/ in Rust. Async Rust is not productive yet, so I tried rouille http server which lets me write non-async request handlers. Unfortunately, it uses an unbounded thread pool and falls down under load https://github.com/tiny-http/tiny-http/issues/221 . Then I tried Tide and a threadpool to call my non-async API handlers. This worked, but was really ugly, and I had issues with uploads after deploying to Heroku https://github.com/http-rs/tide/issues/878 .

Hey rustaceans, which web framework you guys suggest for a small application?
tiny-http is small. You'll probably be able to make something with less than 1 Mb.

NVD - CVE-2022-23812 - A 9.8 critical vulnerability caused by a node library author adding code into his package which has a 1 in 4 chance of wiping the files of a system if it's IP comes from Russia or Belarus
That's not a simple http server, something like tiny_http would be with only... 17 total dependencies by default. Actix is a full framework with an abundance of features, and correspondingly-large dependency tree.

Open Source Hacktivism, Open Source Gains Traction in the Enterprise, and More: Open Source Matters
Today, with an ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, some open source maintainers have taken it upon themselves to protest the war via changes to their code that express anti-war rhetoric via messages that display when the software is run. However, one maintainer in particular took it to the next level. Brandon Nozaki Miller, published a library on GitHub named peacenotwar that simply printed an anti-war message to the computer it was run on. This package is harmless on its own, but things got interesting when he included this package as a dependency in the node-ipc module he maintains. Users who downloaded the latest version of node-ipc to a machine in Russia would be subject to complete data destruction. Miller defended the act by claiming that this is all documented publicly and that users who don’t want this installed on their machine should lock their dependencies to older versions.

Open Source Maintainer Sabotages Code to Wipe Russian, Belarusian Computers
This headline is fucking yikes, the node package that they're talking about is fully open source and does nothing but make a text file in 3 locations. It does nothing remotely close to "wiping" computers, lmfao.

Developers of node-ipc edited the software so that anyone with a russian or belarusian IP would get their drive scrubbed clean of data, drama ensues.

My entire PC got wiped Do not download
The package uses https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/peacenotwar to deliver the message.
But I don't understand why/how it would wipe the PC. Unless I missed something, the code from the package does not delete anything.
> This code serves as a non-destructive example of why controlling your node modules is important. It also serves as a non-violent protest against Russia's aggression that threatens the world right now.
Nah, the author knew it's would be controversial. The first sentence is there as an excuse.
