What mattered most to me was keeping the barrier to entry low. You can take one small binary, drop it onto a system, and compile or run C code using the libraries already available there, without setting up a full toolchain or installing a large stack of dependencies.

I find that useful for quick prototyping, testing, auditing, learning, and generally exploring real systems with less friction. The codebase also reached a point where it feels solid and maintainable, not just experimental.

It is still a small project, and I want to keep it that way: simple, useful, and easy to carry around.

A fun extra: it works nicely with raylib as well.

Interested in feedback from people here, especially on the single-binary approach and whether this kind of tool feels useful in practice.

you are welcome to share a review of the tomb script, but be warned in that we use a lot of zsh specific features. It is a script that works since 15+ years so it has a discrete amount of patchwork to avoid regressions.

You are so quickly labeling an identifiable professional as troll, while hiding behind your throwaway identity, that I am confident readers will be able to discern.

Meanwhile let us be precise and add more facts https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/31550

Our community is swamped by people like you, so I will refrain from answering further provocations, believing I have provided enough details to back my assertion.

A malware code injection in upstream xz-tools is a vector for remote exploitation of the ssh daemon due to a dependency on systemd for notifications and due to systemd's call to dlopen() liblzma library (CVE-2024-3094). The resulting build interferes with authentication in sshd via systemd.

thanks for posting the news here, there is a lot of love and attention to detail in Daedalus <3

The world is already full of proprietary systems, including the one produced by the employer of systemd. WSL has improved a lot in the past years, he should be focusing on that, or at least use that as a testing ground.

Not confining new technology like systemd has lead to an infinite amount of CVEs to deal with in the past years, this could have been avoided by not allowing a tech prototype to bypass community adoption and impose itself as a ego-driven standard.
