The FreeBSD Foundation has announced that it has undertaken a project to deliver zero-trust builds commissioned by the Sovereign Tech Agency (STA).

The Zero-Trust Build project is scheduled from Jan-Aug 2025 and centers on the FreeBSD build process, and in particular, release building. The primary goal of this work is to enable the entire release process to run without requiring root access, and that build artifacts build reproducibly – that is, that a third party can build bit-for-bit identical artifacts.

Additionally, the project aims to enhance build process documentation, ensuring that release building is straightforward and does not require specialized knowledge. The work is targeted for completion prior to the release of FreeBSD 15.0.

The Foundation says that updates should not impact users of FreeBSD release images, but it may have an impact on developers basing projects or products on FreeBSD that make modifications to its release process.

The proposal to add a more general facility for string formatting to Python, which we looked at in August 2024, has changed a great deal since, so it merits another look. The changes take multiple forms: a new title for PEP 750 ("Template Strings"), a different mechanism for creating and using templates, a new Template type to hold them, and several additional authors for the PEP. Meanwhile, one controversial part of the original proposal, lazy evaluation of the interpolated values, has been changed so that it requires an explicit opt-in (via lambda); template strings are a generalization of f-strings and lazy evaluation was seen by some as a potentially confusing departure from their behavior.

The computer mouse is a wonderful invention, but for the past few months I've been working to use mine as little as possible for productivity and ergonomic reasons. It should not be surprising that there are quite a few open-source applications, utilities, and configuration options that are either designed to or incidentally assist in creating a keyboard-driven desktop. This includes tiling window management with PaperWM, the Vimium browser extension, Input Remapper, and more.

The Vox Pupuli project has announced the first release of OpenVox, a "soft-fork" of the Puppet automation framework. The intention to fork was announced in December 2024.

OpenVox 8.11 is functionally equivalent to Puppet and should be a drop-in replacement. Be aware, of course, that even though you can type the same commands, use all the same modules and extensions, and configure the same settings, OpenVox is not yet tested to the same standard that Puppet is.

Please don't use these packages on critical production infrastructures yet, unless you're comfortable with troubleshooting and reporting back on the silly errors we've made while rebranding and rebuilding.
