![]() ![]() ![]() See discussion on r/rust or on Hacker NewsĪ few days ago, we published a new version of both the securestore library/crate and the ssclient CLI used to create, manage, and retrieve secrets from SecureStore vaults, an open and cross-language protocol for KISS secrets management. (And to think this can be used even on embedded without a relatively heavy async framework like tokio and with even zero allocations to boot!)Ĭontinue reading → SecureStore 0.100: KISS, git-versioned secrets management for rust I’m not going to go into detail about what the rust language and standard library do to enable zero-cost abstractions or spend a lot of time going over some of the many examples of zero-cost interfaces available to rust programmers, though I’ll just quickly mention a few of my favorites: iterators and all the methods the Iterator trait exposes have to be at the top of every list given the amount of black magic voodoo the compiler has to do to turn these into their loop-based equivalents, zero-sized types make developing embedded firmware in rust a dream and it’s really crazy to see how all the various peripheral abstractions can be completely erased giving you small firmware blobs despite all the safety abstractions, and no list is complete the newest member of the team, async/ await and how rust manages to turn an entire web server api into a single state machine and event loop. And as anyone that’s familiar with them can tell you, the rust programming language and its developers/community have truly embraced this ethos of zero-cost abstractions, perhaps more so than any others. ![]() Strong type systems turn runtime safety/sanity checks into compile-time errors, optimizing compilers try to reduce an enforced sequence of api calls into a single instruction, and library developers think up of clever hacks to even completely erase any trace of an abstraction from the resulting binaries. Low-level or systems programming languages generally strive to provide libraries and interfaces that enable developers, boost productivity, enhance safety, provide resistance to misuse, and more - all while trying to reduce the runtime cost of such initiatives. It can be used to fix Windows installations and back up the bootloader with success.ĮasyBCD Portable can’t fix a PC that won’t boot.Discuss this article on r/rust or on Hacker News. To recap, EasyBCD Community Edition allows users to modify a variety of boot options and have complete control over the computer’s boot menu. An overall powerful bootloader/modification tool The Useful Utilities section displays several options, but most of them load Windows’ standard tools, such as Control Panel, System Restore or System Information, thus bundling multiple management options in a single, clean instance. This tool can be used by experts to reset your PC’s BCD, re-create or repair boot files, and change the boot device. You can add new boot entries (of Windows, Linux, or Mac) from any external device, and you can also create bootable discs from a specific disk. You can change the Safe Mode type or limit Windows to only use a particular number of CPUs when it comes to tweaking the present boot entries.You can also choose between running the OS in Kernel-Debug Mode or SOS/Verbose-Boot Mode.ĮasyBCD Portable Community Edition allows you to change the amount of time that must pass before the default OS is booted (after a specified number of seconds), or you can totally deactivate the timeout and set it to wait for user input.Īdding new boot entries and other handy features It’s as simple as hitting two buttons to change their names and their position in the list. You can see a list of your computer’s current settings, as well as the installed operating systems and their sequence. Straightforward layoutĮach function has its own part in the software, resulting in a well-organized interface. The application also features BCD (Boot Configuration Data) Backup/Repair utilities that provide users with the possibility to reset the BCD configuration or recreate and repair boot files. Please use EasyBCD Portable with care, it’s a powerful tool that you can either make your life a lot easier or make it rather miserable by letting you shoot yourself in the foot. ![]() It can perform a variety of tasks ranging in complexity and application from the most basic to advanced and highly-customizable features. EasyBCD Portable is a powerful bootloader-modification tool that has a wide-range of applications and usages. ![]()
