(I’m really sorry for the name; I couldn’t think of anything better :)) This game, apart from (obviously) being a showcase for a new Steroids iteration, is all about switching lanes on a high traffic road in a fast car. Yay! It’s re [...]

As I noted previously, distributions with a declared dependency on Crypt::SSLeay may not really need Crypt::SSLeay.
Heartbleed is a serious bug in OpenSSL that allows one side of a "secure" connection to read the memory of the process running on the o [...]
