Migrating from ccache to sccache, anything I should know?

Right now I'm using ccache, but I also want to cache stuff for rust, mainly because I compile web browsers with custom patches often (Firefox and Chromium). I know that Portage doesn't have proper sccache support, but is there anything I should know before I try? How is your experience with it?

New to Emacs. What should I setup?

Hey everyone,

I'm still quite new to Emacs, and I'm coming from NeoVim and ObsidianMD. What should I set up? Right now, I have lsp-mode, org-roam, and magit installed. I am mainly working in Rust, so I also have the rust-mode installed.

My use case is mostly for programming, and also using org-mode + org-roam for managing my school assignments.

Is ~/.emacs.d reproducible?

Hey everyone,

I'm still very new to Emacs, and I'm coming from vim. I'd like to ask, is the config data in ~/emacs.d(/init.el) reproducible? Right now, I'm using stow to sync the entire ~/.emacs.d folder between my Mac and Linux machines, but I'm not sure if that's good practice.

How do you secure the supply chain and keep control of dependencies in your projects?

The recent TanStack vulnerability over on NPM has me wondering, how do you secure your crates supply chain? I'm still VERY new to rust, but when I compile a rust project, I notice that it compiles a bunch of other crates before it compiles the target.

When you pull a crate as a dependency in Cargo.toml, I'd assume that crate would pull in it's own set of dependencies. How would you go about vetting and making sure that the crates being pulled in are safe? Would it be better to reduce your set of dependencies to avoid these potential attacks?

Sorry for the really dumb question, but I'm curious as to how we can defend against this in our projects especially after seeing whats going on over at NPM.

Is SELinux worth it?

I'm thinking of migrating to the hardened profile, mainly to learn more about SELinux. Is it worth it, and has any security vulnerabilities been mitigated through SELinux?

Hey everyone,

I'm curious about the benefits of running IPv6 on my home network. Both of the IPv6 tests I tried says that my network passes (ipv6test.google.com, ipv6.test-ipv6.com).

I'm quite confused about how things work with IPv6. Apparently there's no NAT, so does that mean our computers/devices are directly connected to the outside network? Is the Operating System firewall (eg. firewalld, ufw) responsible for firewalling? I assume this means that ports would be controlled by the user's OS firewall rather than at the router/modem level.

Also, how does LAN work? If we're no longer behind a NAT, does that imply that we are all just connected to each other online?

My home network is dual stacked. Are we ready to go full IPv6 yet?

And finally, where can I go to learn more about IPv6? Are there any websites/courses/books you recommend?

I apologize for the dumb questions, but I'm curious to see how we can better adopt and understand IPv6 at home.
