Reflections on Distrusting xz

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • llama.cpp

    LLM inference in C/C++

  • Even history rewrites would be visible with Githu's new Activity tab, e.g., see the two force-pushes in llama.cpp https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/activity So, while, yes, git history can be rewritten, commits pushed to Github can effectively never be deleted. Personally, I find this a downside. Think, personal information, etc. But, in this case, it is helpful. Of course, the repository is suspended right now, so the Activity cannot be checked.

  • lzma-rs

    An LZMA decoder written in pure Rust

  • a half-arsed search resulted in this half-baked rust library: https://github.com/gendx/lzma-rs

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • systemd

    The systemd System and Service Manager

  • They just added an example to the documentation[0] of how to implement the sd_notify protocol without linking to libsystemd, so a little bit of discarding systemd (or at least parts of it) does seem to be part of the solution.
