Interactive tuning tool Instead of computing each property from font average metrics, I put together a tool for interactively tuning fallback fonts.¹

Instructions

1. Load your custom font.
2. Select a fallback font to tune.
3. Adjust the size-adjust property to match the width of your custom font with the fallback font. With a proportional font, it is not possible to achieve a perfect match.
4. Fine-tune the ascent-override property. Aim to align the final dot of the last paragraph while monitoring the font s baseline. For more precise adjustment, disable the Set line height option.
5. Modify the descent-override property. The goal is to make the two boxes match. You may need to alternate between this and the previous property for optimal results.
6. If necessary, adjust the line-gap-override property. This step is typically not required.

The process needs to be repeated for each fallback font. Some platforms may not include certain fonts. Notably, Android lacks most fonts found in other operating systems. It replaces Georgia with Noto Serif, which is not metrically-compatible.

Tool

This tool is not available from the Atom feed.

Results For the body text of this blog, I get the following CSS definition:

@font-face  
  font-family: Merriweather;
  font-style: normal;
  font-weight: 400;
  src: url("../fonts/merriweather.woff2") format("woff2");
  font-display: swap;
 
@font-face  
  font-family: "Fallback for Merriweather";
  src: local("Noto Serif"), local("Droid Serif");
  size-adjust: 98.3%;
  ascent-override: 99%;
  descent-override: 27%;
 
@font-face  
  font-family: "Fallback for Merriweather";
  src: local("Georgia");
  size-adjust: 106%;
  ascent-override: 90.4%;
  descent-override: 27.3%;
 
font-family: Merriweather, "Fallback for Merriweather", serif;

After a month, the CLS metric improved to 0:

Recent Core Web Vitals scores for vincent.bernat.ch

About custom fonts Using safe web fonts or a modern font stack is often simpler. However, I prefer custom web fonts. Merriweather and Iosevka, which are used in this blog, enhance the reading experience. An alternative approach could be to use Georgia as a serif option. Unfortunately, most default monospace fonts are ugly. Furthermore, paragraphs that combine proportional and monospace fonts can create visual disruption. This occurs due to mismatched vertical metrics or weights. To address this issue, I adjust Iosevka s metrics and weight to align with Merriweather s characteristics.

---

1. Similar tools already exist, like the Fallback Font Generator, but they were missing a few features, such as the ability to load the fallback font or to have decimals for the CSS properties. And no source code.

• Rooms had heated floors. It seems to snow in Busan.
• Each area was had card based access. There was a separate card for laundry too.
• Rooms had announcement systems right inside the room, though we couldn t decipher any announcement as all of them were in Korean.
• Each room was provided with a dedicated access point and own SSID inside the room.

• Convenience stores were everywhere, one could see same brand stores less than a kilometer apart. We had even had two of them (GS25(s)), a road cross away too. These places were well stocked with almost everything, even alcohol.
• There were wide footpaths and pedestrian friendly policies.
• Public transport and intra modal transfer is convenient and easy to figure. Each metro station connects to multiple nearby buildings through underground walkways, and one never had to go out in the sun (in hot and humid weather). Also, Seoul and Busan metro networks were massive. The Same T money card worked for buses (almost hop on, tap and hop off at your destination), metros and even cabs.
• South Korea pays special attention to maintaining their historical and cultural buildings. These venues had informational brochures in Korea, English, Japanese and Chinese.
• We got a constant stream of Public safety alerts on our phones. Some phones even read them aloud for heatwaves and rains warnings, all in Korean.
• Trash was segregated at source everywhere.
• Public, high speed Wi-Fi was omnipresent in malls, public transport, airport etc. In metro, each coach had access points from all three telecom providers (SK Telecom, KT and LG U+) which also had almost similar voice and data plans.
• Police personals were quite helpful despite the language issue.
• Not many folks here are comfortable in English, but one can always make use of various mobile translation apps.
• Cards are accepted everywhere and there are too many of these cards ;)
• Food situation was a bit difficult for me as a vegetarian. We always have vegan/veg food in DebConf but outside, this whole concept doesn t seem to exist here.
• I couldn t find any public speedtest servers inside Korea. All my fast.com/speedtest.net servers were located either Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and even in the United States. On the very last day, I got a speedtest servers in Seoul, inside SK Telecom.

Rust First I want to talk about Rust, which is the language I chose to use for the problems. I ve dabbled a little in it, but I d like more familiarity with the basic language, and some programming problems seemed like a good way to get that. It s a language I want to like; I ve spent a lot of my career writing C, do more in Go these days, and generally think Rust promises a low level, run-time light environment like C but with the rough edges taken off. I set myself the challenge of using just bare Rust; no external crates, no use of cargo. I was accused of playing on hard mode by doing this, but it really wasn t the intention - I figured that I should be able to do what I needed without recourse to anything outside the core language, and didn t want what seemed like the extra complexity of dealing with cargo. That caused problems, however. I m used to by-default generic error handling in Go through the error type, but Rust seems to have much more tightly typed errors. I was pointed at anyhow as the right way to do this in Rust. I still find this surprising; I ended up using unwrap() a lot when I think with more generic error handling I could have used ?. The other thing I discovered is that by default rustc is heavy on the debug output. I got significantly better results on some of the solutions with rustc -O -C target-cpu=native source.rs. I probably shouldn t be surprised by this, but worth noting. Rust, to me, has a syntax only a C++ programmer could love. I am not a C++ programmer. Coming from C I found Go to be a nice, simple syntax to learn. Rust has not been the same. There s a lot more punctuation, and it s not always clear to me what it s doing. This applies more when reading other people s code than when writing it myself, obviously, but I see a lot of Rust code that could give Perl a run for its money in terms of looking like line noise. The borrow checker didn t bug me too much, but did add overhead to my thinking. The Rust compiler is generally very good at outputting helpful error messages when the programmer is an idiot. I ended up having to use a RefCell for one solution, and using .iter() for loops rather than explicit iterators (why, why is this different?). I also kept forgetting to explicitly mark variables as mutable when declaring them. Things I liked? There s a rich set of first class data types. Look, I m a C programmer, I m easily pleased. You give me some sort of hash array and I ll be happy. Rust manages that, tuples, strings, all the standard bits any modern language can provide. The whole impl thing for adding methods to structures I like as a way of providing some abstraction, though I think Go has a nicer syntax for it. The compiler, as mentioned, is great at spitting out useful errors for the most part. Also although I wasn t using external crates for AoC I do appreciate there s a decent ecosystem there now (though that brings up another gripe: rust seems to still be a fairly fast moving target, to the extent I can no longer rely on the compiler in Debian stable to be able to compile random projects I find).

Advent of Code Let s talk about the advent of code bit now. Hopefully it s long enough since it came out that this won t be spoilers for anyone, but if you haven t attempted the 2023 AoC and might, you might want to stop reading here. First, a refresher on the format for those who might not be aware of it. Problems are posted daily from December 1st until the 25th. Each is in 2 parts; the second part is not viewable until you have provided the correct answer for the first part. There s a whole leaderboard thing going on, but the puzzle opens at midnight UTC-5 so generally by the time I wake up and have time to look the problem has been solved many times over; no chance of getting listed. Credit to AoC creator, Eric Wastl, for writing up the set of problems in an entertaining fashion. I quite enjoyed seeing how the puzzle would be phrased each day, and the whole thing obviously brings a lot of joy to folk I know. I always start AoC thinking it ll be a fun set of puzzles to solve. Then something happens and I miss a day or two, and all of a sudden I ve a bunch of catching up to do and it s all a bit more of a chore. I hit that at some points this time, but made a concerted effort to try and power through it. That perseverance was required up front, because I found the second part of Day 1 to be ill specified, and had to iterate a few times to actually calculate the desired solution (IIRC, issues about whether sevenone at the end of a line ended up as 7 or 1 really tripped me up). I don t recall any other problems that bit me as hard on the specification as this one, but it happening up front was unfortunate. The short example input doesn t always help with this either; either it s not enough to be able to extrapolate patterns, or it doesn t show all the variations you need to account for (that aren t fully specified in the text), or in a few cases it turned out I needed to understand the shape of the actual data to produce a solution that could actually complete in a reasonable time. Which brings me to another matter, sometimes brute force doesn t actually work. This is fine, but the second part of the day s problem can change the approach you d take. So sometimes I got lucky in the way I handled the first half, and doing the second half was a simple 5 minute tweak, and sometimes I had to entirely change the way I was storing data. You might claim that if I was a better programmer I d have always produced a first half solution that was amenable to extension for the second half. First, I dispute that; I think there are always situations where the problem domain can change in enough directions that you can t handle all of them without a lot of effort. Secondly, I didn t find AoC an environment that encouraged me to optimise for generic solutions. Maybe some of the puzzles in isolation would allow for that, but a month of daily problems to solve while still engaging in regular life meant I hacked things up, took short cuts based on the knowledge I had of the input data, etc, etc. Overall I can see the appeal, but the sheer quantity and the fact I write code as part of my day job just made it feel too much like a chore, rather than a fun mental exercise. I did wonder how they d look as a set of interview puzzles (obviously a subset, rather than all of them), but I m not sure how you d actually use them for that - I wouldn t want anyone to have to solve them in a live interview. So, in case it s not obvious, I m not planning to engage in AoC again this yet. But I m continuing to persevere with Rust (though most of my work stuff is thankfully still Go).

Evolution of the situation In July, we have released 1 DLA. August will be the month that Debian 11 makes the transition to LTS. Our contributors have already been hard at work with preparatorty tasks and also with making contributions to packages in Debian 11 in close collaboration with the Debian security team and package maintainers. As a result, users and sponsors should not observe any especially notable differences as the transition occurs. While only one DLA was released in July (as a result of the transitional state of Debian 11 bullseye ), there were some notable highlights. LTS contributor Guilhem Moulin prepared an update of libvirt for Debian 11 (in collaboration with the Old-Stable Release Managers and the Debian Security Team) to fix a number of outstanding CVEs which did not rise to the level of a DSA by the Debian Security Team. The update prepared by Guilhem will be included in Debian 11 as part of the final point release at the end of August, one of the final transition steps by the Release Managers as Debian 11 moves entirely to the LTS Team s responsibility. Notable work was also undertaken by contributors Lee Garrett (fixes on the ansible test suite and a bullseye update), Lucas Kanashiro (Rust toolchain, utilized by the clamav, firefox-esr, and thunderbird packages), and Sylvain Beucler (fixes on the ruby2.5/2.7 test suites and CI infrastructure), which will help improve the quality of updates produced during the next LTS cycle. June was the final month of LTS for Debian 10 (as announced on the debian-lts-announce mailing list). No additional Debian 10 security updates will be made available on security.debian.org. However, Freexian and its team of paid Debian contributors will continue to maintain Debian 10 going forward for customers of the Extended LTS offer. Subscribe right away if you still have Debian 10 systems which must be kept secure (and which cannot yet be upgraded).

Subject: AUSTRIAN VISA APPLICATION - AMENDMENT REQUEST: Ravi Dwivedi VIS 4331 Dear Applicant, On 22.12.2023 your application for Visa C was registered at the Embassy. You are requested to kindly send the scanned copies of the following documents via email to the Embassy or submit the documents at the nearest VFS centre, for further processing of your application:

• Kindly submit Electronic letter of guarantee EVE- Elektronische Verpflichtungserkl rung obtained from the Fremdenpolizeibeh rde of the sponsor s district in Austria. Once your host company/inviting company has obtained the EVE, please share the reference number (starting from DEL_____) received from the authorities, with the Embassy.

Kindly Note: It is in your own interest to fulfil the requirements as indicated above and submit the missing documents within 14 days of the receipt of this email. Otherwise a decision will be taken based on the documentation available. Sie werden in Ihrem Interesse ersucht, die gekennzeichneten M ngel so schnell wie m glich zu beheben bzw. fehlende Unterlagen umgehend nachzureichen, um die weitere Bearbeitung des Antrages zu erm glichen. Sollten Sie innerhalb 14 Tagen die gekennzeichneten M ngel nicht beheben bzw. die fehlenden Unterlagen nicht nachreichen, wird ber den vorliegenden Antrag ohne diese Unterlagen bzw. M ngelbehebung entschieden. Austrian Embassy New Delhi R.J/ Consular Section +91 11 2419 2700 EP-13, Chandragupta Marg, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi 110 021, India bmeia.gv.at/botschaft/new-delhi facebook.at/AustrianEmbassyNewDelhihttp://www.facebook.at/AustrianEmbassyNewDelhi twitter.com/MFA_Austriahttp://www.twitter.com/MFA_Austria [refocus1][Signatur_V+30]https://www.bmeia.gv.at/en/european-foreign-policy/foreign-trade/refocus-austria/[Logo_AT_IN_22px]

The Austrian embassy in Delhi examined your application; the visa has been refused. The decision is based on the following reason(s):

• The information submitted regarding the justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliable.
• There are reasonable doubts as to your intention to leave the territory of the Member States before the expiry of the visa.

Other remarks: You have been given an amendment request, which you have failed to fulfil, or have only fulfilled inadequately, within the deadline set. You are a first-time traveller. The social and economic roots with the home country are not evident. The return from Schengen territory does therefore not seem to be certain.

The social and economic roots with the home country are not evident.

1. If you are visiting a host, then the category of appointment at VFS must be Visiting Friends and Family rather than Tourist .
2. VFS charged me for courier assurance, which is an optional service. Make sure to get these removed from your bill.
3. Neither my travel agent nor the VFS application center mentioned the EVE.
4. While the required documents list from the VFS website does mention it in point 6, it leads to a dead link.
5. Snehal informed me that a mere two months ago, his wife s visa was approved without an EVE. This hints at inconsistency in processing of applications, even those under identical categories.

Planing A Self Organized Solo Trip You know the movie Queen? The actor Kangana Ranaut plays in that movie the role of Rani Mehra, a 24-year-old Punjabi woman, who was a simple, homely girl that was always reliant on her family. Similar to Rani I too rarely ventured out without my parents and often needed my younger sibling by my side. Inspired by her transformation, I decided it was time to take control of my own story and discover who I truly am.

Trip Requirements

My First Passport The journey began with a significant first step: Obtaining my first passport Never having had one before, I scheduled the nearest available interview date on June 29 2022. This meant traveling to Solapur, a city 309 km from my hometown, accompanied by my father. After successfully completing the interview, I received my passport on July 14 2022.

Select A Country, Booking Flights And Accommodation Excited and ready to embark on my adventure, I planed trip to Albania and booked the flight tickets. Why? I had heard from friends that it was a beautiful European country with beaches and other attractions, and importantly, it didn t require a visa for Indian citizens and was more affordable than other European destinations. Before heading to Albania, I planned a overnight stop in Abu Dhabi with a transit visa, thanks to friend who knew the process for obtaining it. Some of my friends did travel also to Europe at the same time and quite close to my plannings, but that I realized just later the trip.

Day 1, Starting The Experience On July 20, 2022, I started my journey by traveling from Pune, Maharashtra, to Delhi, where my brother lives. He came to see me off at the airport, adding a touch of warmth and support to the beginning of my solo adventure. Upon arriving in Delhi, with my next flight scheduled for July 21, I stayed at a backpacker hostel named Zostel, Paharganj, Delhi to rest. During my stay, I noticed that many travelers at the hostel carried rucksacks, which sparked a desire in me to get one for my own trip to Europe. Up until then, I had always shopped with my mom and had never bought anything on my own. Inspired by the travelers, I set out to find a suitable rucksack. I traveled alone by metro from Paharganj to Rohini to visit a Decathlon store, where I purchased a 50-liter rucksack. This was a significant step in preparing for my European adventure and marked a milestone in my journey of self reliance.

Day 2, Flying To Abu Dhabi The following day, July 21 2024, I had a flight to Abu Dhabi. I spent the night at the hostel to rest before my journey. On the day of the flight, I needed to reach the airport by 3 PM, and a friend kindly came to drop me off. With my rucksack packed and excitement building, I was ready for the next leg of my adventure. When we arrived at the airport, my friend saw me off, marking the start of my international journey. With mom made spices, chutneys, and chilly flakes packed for comfort, I completed my immigration process in about two and a half hours. I then settled at the gate for my flight, feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety as thoughts raced through my mind. To ease my nerves, I struck up a conversation with a man seated nearby who was also traveling to Abu Dhabi for work. He provided helpful information about safety and transportation in Abu Dhabi, which reassured me. With the boarding process complete and my anxiety somewhat eased. I found my window seat on the flight and settled in, excited for the journey ahead. Next to me was a young man from Ranchi(Zarkhand, India), heading to Abu Dhabi for work at a mining factory. We had an engaging conversation about work culture in Abu Dhabi and recruitment from India. Upon arriving in Abu Dhabi, I completed my transit, collected my luggage, and began finding my way to the hotel Premier Inn AbuDhabi, which was in the airport area. To my surprise, I ran into the same man from the flight, now in a cab. He kindly offered to drop me at my hotel, which I gladly accepted since navigating an unfamiliar city with a short acquaintance felt safer. At the hotel gate, he asked if I had local currency (Dirhams) for payment, as sometimes online transactions can fail. That hadn t crossed my mind, and I realized I might be left stranded if a transaction failed. Recognizing his help as a godsend, I asked if he could lend me some Dirhams, promising to transfer the amount later. He kindly assured me to pay him back once I reached the hotel room. With that relief, I checked into the hotel, feeling deeply grateful for the unexpected assistance and transferred the money to him after getting to my room.

Day 3, Flying And Arrive In Tirana Once in the hotel room, I found it hard to sleep, anxious about waking up on time for my flight. I set an alarm to wake up early, but my subconscious mind kept me alert, and I woke up before the alarm went off. I got freshened up and went down for breakfast, where I found some vegetarian options like Idli-Sambar and bread with butter, along with some morning tea. After breakfast, I headed back to the airport, ready to catch my flight to my final destination: Tirana, Albania. I reached Tirana, Albania after a six hours flight, feeling exhausted and I was suffering from a headache. The air pressure had blocked my ears, and jet lag added to my fatigue. After collecting my checked luggage, I headed to the first ATM machine at the airport. Struggling to insert my card, I asked a nearby gentleman for help. He tried his best, but my card got stuck inside the machine. Panic set in as I worried about how I would survive without money. Taking a deep breath, I found an airport employee and explained the situation. The gentleman stayed with me, offering support and repeatedly apologizing for his mistake. However, it wasn t his fault, the ATM was out of order, which I hadn t noticed. My focus was solely on retrieving my ATM card. The airport employee worked diligently, using a hairpin to carefully extract my card. Finally, the card was freed, and I felt an immense sense of relief, grateful for the help of these kind strangers. I used another ATM, successfully withdrew money, and then went to an airport mobile SIM shop to buy a new SIM card for local internet and connectivity.

Day 4, Arriving In Tirana, Facing Challenges In A Foreign Country I had booked a stay at a backpacker hostel near the city center of Tirana. After sorting out the ATM and SIM card issues, I searched for a bus or any transport to get there. It was quite late, around 8:30 PM, and being in a new city, I was in a hurry. I saw a bus nearly leaving the airport, stopped it, and asked if it went to the city center. They gave me the green flag, so I boarded the airport service bus and reached the city center. Feeling very tired, I discovered that the hostel was about an hour and a half away by walking. Deciding to take a cab, I faced a challenge as the driver couldn t understand my English or accent. Using a mobile translator to convert my address from English to Albanian, I finally communicated my destination to him. With that sorted out, I headed to the Blue Door Backpacker Hostel and arrived around 9 PM, relieved to have finally reached my destination and I checked in. I found my top bunk bed, only to realize I had booked a mixed-gender dormitory. This detail had completely escaped my notice during the booking process. I felt unsure about how to handle the situation. Coincidentally, my experience mirrored what Kangana faced in the movie Queen . Feeling acidic due to an empty stomach and the exhaustion of heavy traveling, I wasn t up to cooking in the hostel s kitchen. I asked the front desk about the nearest restaurant. It was nearly 9:30 PM, and the streets were deserted. To avoid any mishaps like in the movie Queen, I kept my passport securely locked in my bag, ensuring it wouldn t be a victim of theft. Venturing out for dinner, I felt uneasy on the quiet streets. I eventually found a restaurant recommended by the hostel, but the menu was almost entirely non-vegetarian. I struggled to ask about vegetarian options and was uncertain if any dishes contained eggs, as some people consider eggs to be vegetarian. Feeling frustrated and unsure, I left the restaurant without eating. I noticed a nearby grocery store that was about to close and managed to get a few extra minutes to shop. I bought some snacks, wafers, milk, and tea bags (though I couldn t find tea powder to make Indian-style tea). Returning to the hostel, I made do with wafers, cookies, and milk for dinner. That day was incredibly tough for me, I filled with exhaustion and struggle in a new country, I was on the verge of tears . I made a video call home before sleeping on the top bunk bed. It was a new experience for me, sharing a room with both unknown men and women. I kept my passport safe inside my purse and under my pillow while sleeping, staying very conscious about its security.

Day 5, Exploring Nearby Places I woke up the next day at noon. After having some coffee, the hostel management girl asked if I wanted breakfast. She offered curd with cornflakes, which I refused because I don t like curd. Instead, I ordered a pizza from a vegetarian pizza place with her help, and I started feeling better. I met some people in the hostel, some from Syria and others from Italy. I struggled to understand their accents but kept pushing myself to get involved in their discussions. Despite the challenges, I felt more at ease and was slowly adapting to my new environment. I went out from the hostel in the evening to buy some vegetables to cook something. I searched for shops and found some potatoes, tomatoes, and rice. I decided to cook Khichdi, an Indian dish made with rice, and added some chili flakes I brought from home. After preparing my dinner, I ate and then went to sleep again.

Day 6, Tiranas Recent History The next day, I planned to explore the city and visited Bunkart-1, a fascinating museum in a massive underground bunker from the communist era. Originally built as a shelter for Albania s political and military elite, it now offers a unique glimpse into the country s history under Enver Hoxha s oppressive regime. The museum s exhibits include historical artifacts, photographs, and multimedia displays that detail the lives of Albanians during that time. Walking through the dimly lit corridors, I felt the weight of history and gained a deeper understanding of Albania s past.

Day 7-8, Meeting Friends From India The next day, I accidentally met with Chirag, who was returning from the Debian Conference 2022 held in Prizren, Kosovo, and staying at the same hostel. When I encountered him, he was talking on the phone, and I recognized he was Indian by his accent. I introduced myself, and we discovered we had some mutual friends. Chirag told me that our common friend, Raju, was also coming to stay at the hostel the next day. This news made me feel relaxed and happy to have known people around. When Raju arrived, the three of us, Chirag, Raju, and I planned to have dinner at an Indian restaurant and explore Tirana city. I had a great time talking and enjoying their company.

Day 9-10, Meeting More Friends Raju had a ticket to leave soon, so Chirag and I made a plan to visit Shkod r and the nearby Komani Lake for kayaking. We started our journey early in the morning by bus and reached Shkod r. There, we met new friends from the conference, Pavit and Abraham, who were already there. We had dinner together and enjoyed an ice cream treat from Chirag.

Day 12, Kayaking And Say Good Bye To Friends The next day, Pavit and Abraham had a flight back to India, so Chirag and I went to Komani Lake. We had an adventurous time kayaking, even though neither of us knew how to swim. We took a ferry through the backwaters to the island on Komani Lake and enjoyed a fantastic adventure together. After our trip, Chirag returned to Tirana for his flight back to India, leaving me to continue my journey alone.

Day 13, Climbing Rozafa Castel By stopping at Shkod r, I visited Rozafa Castle. Despite the language barrier, as most locals only spoke Albanian, people around me guided me correctly on how to get there. At times, I used applications like Google Translate to communicate. To read signs or hotel menus, I used Google Photos' language converter. I even used the audio converter to understand and speak some basic Albanian phrases. I took a bus from Shkod r to the southern part of Albania, heading to Sarand . The journey lasted about five to six hours, and I had booked a stay at Mona s Hostel. Upon arrival, I met Eliza from America, and we went together to Ksamil Beach, spending a wonderful day there.

Day 14, Vlora Beach: Beach Side Cycling Next, I traveled to Vlor , where I stayed for one day. During my time there, I enjoyed beach side cycling with a cycle provided by the hostel owner and spent some time feeding fish. I also met a fellow traveler from Delhi who had brought along some preserved Indian curry. He kindly shared it with me, which was a welcome change after nearly 15 days without authentic Indian cuisine, except for what I had cooked myself in various hostels.

Day 15-16 Visiting Durress, Travelling Back To Tirana I then visited Durr s, exploring its beautiful beaches, before heading back to Tirana one day before my flight home. On the day of my flight, my alarm didn t go off, and I woke up late at the hostel. In a frantic rush, I packed everything in just five minutes and dashed toward the city center to catch the bus to the airport. If I had been just five minutes later, I would have missed the bus. Thankfully, I managed to stop it just in time and began my journey back home, reflecting on the incredible adventure I had experienced. Fortunately, I wasn t late; I arrived at the airport just in time. After clearing immigration, I boarded my flight, which had a layover in Warsaw, Poland. The journey from Tirana to Warsaw took about two and a half hours, followed by a seven to eight-hour flight from Poland back to India. Once I arrived in Delhi, I returned to Zostel and booked a train ticket to Aurangabad for the next three days.

Backview This trip was an incredible adventure for me. I never imagined I could accomplish something like this, but I did. Meeting diverse people, experiencing different cultures, and learning so much made this journey truly unforgettable. Looking back, I realize how much I ve grown from this experience. Although I may have more opportunities to travel abroad in the future, this trip will always hold a special place in my heart. The memories I made and the incredible people I met along the way are irreplaceable. This experience goes beyond what I can express through this blog or words; it was incredibly precious to me. Every moment of this journey is etched in my memory, and I am grateful for every part of it.

Reproducible Builds Summit 2024 Last month, we were very pleased to announce the upcoming Reproducible Builds Summit, set to take place from September 17th 19th 2024 in Hamburg, Germany. We are thrilled to host the seventh edition of this exciting event, following the success of previous summits in various iconic locations around the world, including Venice, Marrakesh, Paris, Berlin and Athens. Our summits are a unique gathering that brings together attendees from diverse projects, united by a shared vision of advancing the Reproducible Builds effort. During this enriching event, participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussions, establish connections and exchange ideas to drive progress in this vital field. Our aim is to create an inclusive space that fosters collaboration, innovation and problem-solving. If you re interesting in joining us this year, please make sure to read the event page, which has more details about the event and location. We are very much looking forward to seeing many readers of these reports there.

Pulling Linux up by its bootstraps (LWN) In a recent edition of Linux Weekly News, Daroc Alden has written an article on bootstrappable builds. Starting with a brief introduction that

a bootstrappable build is one that builds existing software from scratch for example, building GCC without relying on an existing copy of GCC. In 2023, the Guix project announced that the project had reduced the size of the binary bootstrap seed needed to build its operating system to just 357-bytes not counting the Linux kernel required to run the build process.

The article goes onto to describe that now, the live-bootstrap project has gone a step further and removed the need for an existing kernel at all. and concludes:

The real benefit of bootstrappable builds comes from a few things. Like reproducible builds, they can make users more confident that the binary packages downloaded from a package mirror really do correspond to the open-source project whose source code they can inspect. Bootstrappable builds have also had positive effects on the complexity of building a Linux distribution from scratch [ ]. But most of all, bootstrappable builds are a boon to the longevity of our software ecosystem. It s easy for old software to become unbuildable. By having a well-known, self-contained chain of software that can build itself from a small seed, in a variety of environments, bootstrappable builds can help ensure that today s software is not lost, no matter where the open-source community goes from here

Towards Idempotent Rebuilds? Trisquel developer Simon Josefsson wrote an interesting blog post comparing the output of the .deb files from our tests.reproducible-builds.org testing framework and the ones in the official Debian archive. Following up from a previous post on the reproducibility of Trisquel, Simon notes that typically [the] rebuilds do not match the official packages, even when they say the package is reproducible , Simon correctly identifies that the purpose of [these] rebuilds are not to say anything about the official binary build, instead the purpose is to offer a QA service to maintainers by performing two builds of a package and declaring success if both builds match. However, Simon s post swiftly moves on to announce a new tool called debdistrebuild that performs rebuilds of the difference between two distributions in a GitLab pipeline and displays diffoscope output for further analysis.

AROMA: Automatic Reproduction of Maven Artifacts Mehdi Keshani, Tudor-Gabriel Velican, Gideon Bot and Sebastian Proksch of the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, have published a new paper in the ACM Software Engineering on a new tool to automatically reproduce Apache Maven artifacts:

Reproducible Central is an initiative that curates a list of reproducible Maven libraries, but the list is limited and challenging to maintain due to manual efforts. [We] investigate the feasibility of automatically finding the source code of a library from its Maven release and recovering information about the original release environment. Our tool, AROMA, can obtain this critical information from the artifact and the source repository through several heuristics and we use the results for reproduction attempts of Maven packages. Overall, our approach achieves an accuracy of up to 99.5% when compared field-by-field to the existing manual approach [and] we reveal that automatic reproducibility is feasible for 23.4% of the Maven packages using AROMA, and 8% of these packages are fully reproducible.

Community updates On our mailing list this month:

• Nichita Morcotilo reached out to the community, first to share their efforts to build reproducible packages cross-platform with a new build tool called rattler-build, noting that as you can imagine, building packages reproducibly on Windows is the hardest challenge (so far!) . Nichita goes onto mention that the Apple ecosystem appears to be using ZERO_AR_DATE over SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. [ ]
• Roland Clobus announced that the Debian bookworm 12.6 live images are nearly reproducible , with more detail in the post itself and input in the thread from other contributors.
• As reported in last month s report, Pol Dellaiera completed his master thesis on Reproducibility in Software Engineering at the University of Mons, Belgium. This month, Pol announced this on the list with more background info. Since the master thesis sources have been available, it has received some feedback and contributions. As a result, an updated version of the thesis has been published containing those community fixes.
• Daniel Gr ber asked for help in getting the Yosys documentation to build reproducibly, citing issues in inter alia the PDF generation causing differing CreationDate metadata values.
• James Addison continued his long journey towards getting the Sphinx documentation generator to build reproducible documentation. In this thread, James concerns himself with the problem that even when SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is configured, Sphinx projects that have configured their copyright notices using dynamic elements can produce nonsensical output under some circumstances. James query ended up generating a number of replies.
• Allen gunner Gunner posted a brief update on the progress the core team is making towards introducing a Code of Conduct (CoC) such that it is in place in time for the RB Summit in Hamburg in September . In particular, gunner asks if you are interested in helping with CoC design and development in the weeks ahead, simply email rb-core@lists.reproducible-builds.org and let us know . [ ]

Android Reproducible Builds at IzzyOnDroid with rbtlog On our mailing list, Fay Stegerman announced a new Reproducible Builds collaboration in the Android ecosystem:

We are pleased to announce Reproducible Builds, special client support and more in our repo : a collaboration between various independent interoperable projects: the IzzyOnDroid team, 3rd-party clients Droid-ify & Neo Store, and rbtlog (part of my collection of tools for Android Reproducible Builds) to bring Reproducible Builds to IzzyOnDroid and the wider Android ecosystem.

Extending the Scalability, Flexibility and Responsiveness of Secure Software Update Systems Congratulations to Marina Moore of the New York Tandon School of Engineering who has submitted her PhD thesis on Extending the Scalability, Flexibility and Responsiveness of Secure Software Update Systems. The introduction outlines its contributions to the field:

[S]oftware repositories are a vital component of software development and release, with packages downloaded both for direct use and to use as dependencies for other software. Further, when software is updated due to patched vulnerabilities or new features, it is vital that users are able to see and install this patched version of the software. However, this process of updating software can also be the source of attack. To address these attacks, secure software update systems have been proposed. However, these secure software update systems have seen barriers to widespread adoption. The Update Framework (TUF) was introduced in 2010 to address several attacks on software update systems including repository compromise, rollback attacks, and arbitrary software installation. Despite this, compromises continue to occur, with millions of users impacted by such compromises. My work has addressed substantial challenges to adoption of secure software update systems grounded in an understanding of practical concerns. Work with industry and academic communities provided opportunities to discover challenges, expand adoption, and raise awareness about secure software updates. [ ]

Development news In Debian this month, 12 reviews of Debian packages were added, 13 were updated and 6 were removed this month adding to our knowledge about identified issues. A new toolchain issue type was identified as well, specifically ordering_differences_in_pkg_info.
Colin Percival filed a bug against the LLVM compiler noting that building i386 binaries on the i386 architecture is different when building i386 binaries under amd64. The fix was narrowed down to x87 excess precision, which can result in slightly different register choices when the compiler is hosted on x86_64 or i386 and a fix committed. [ ]
Fay Stegerman performed some in-depth research surrounding her apksigcopier tool, after some Android .apk files signed with the latest apksigner could no longer be verified as reproducible. Fay identified the issue as follows:

Since build-tools >= 35.0.0-rc1, backwards-incompatible changes to apksigner break apksigcopier as it now by default forcibly replaces existing alignment padding and changed the default page alignment from 4k to 16k (same as Android Gradle Plugin >= 8.3, so the latter is only an issue when using older AGP). [ ]

She documented multiple available workarounds and filed a bug in Google s issue tracker.
Lastly, diffoscope is our in-depth and content-aware diff utility that can locate and diagnose reproducibility issues. This month, Chris Lamb uploaded version 272 and Mattia Rizzolo uploaded version 273 to Debian, and the following changes were made as well:

• Chris Lamb:
  • Ensure that the convert utility is from ImageMagick version 6.x. The command-line interface has seemingly changed with the 7.x series of ImageMagick. [ ]
  • Factor out version detection in test_jpeg_image. [ ]
  • Correct the import of the identify_version method after a refactoring change in a previous commit. [ ]
  • Move away from using DSA OpenSSH keys in tests as support has been deprecated and removed in OpenSSH version 9.8p1. [ ]
  • Move to assert_diff in the test_openssh_pub_key package. [ ]
  • Update copyright years. [ ]
• Mattia Rizzolo:
  • Add support for ffmpeg version 7.x which adds some extra context to the diff. [ ]
  • Rework the handling of OpenSSH testing of DSA keys if OpenSSH is strictly 9.7, and add an OpenSSH key test with a ed25519-format key [ ][ ][ ]
  • Temporarily disable a few packages that are not available in Debian testing. [ ][ ]
  • Stop ignoring the results of Debian testing in the continuous integration system. [ ]
  • Adjust options in debian/source to make sure not to pack the Python sdist directory into the binary Debian package. [ ]
  • Adjust Lintian overrides. [ ]

Website updates There were a number of improvements made to our website this month, including:

• Bernhard M. Wiedemann updated the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH page to include instructions on how to create reproducible .zip files from within Python using the zipfile module. [ ]
• Chris Lamb fixed a potential duplicate heading on the Projects page. [ ]
• Fay Stegerman added rbtlog to the Tools page [ ] and IzzyOnDroid to the Projects page [ ], also ensuring that the latter page was always sorted regardless of the ordering within the input data files. [ ]
• Holger Levsen added Linus Nordberg to our global list of contributors [ ] as well as made a number of changes to the page for the upcoming Reproducible Builds summit later this year [ ][ ][ ][ ].
• Mattia Rizzolo updated the Civil Infrastructure Platform logo [ ] and also updated the 2024 summit page [ ][ ].
• Nichita Morcotilo added rattler-build to the Projects page. [ ][ ][ ]
• Pol Dellaiera updated the Academic Publications page, adding two publications. [ ][ ]

Reproducibility testing framework The Reproducible Builds project operates a comprehensive testing framework running primarily at tests.reproducible-builds.org in order to check packages and other artifacts for reproducibility. In July, a number of changes were made by Holger Levsen, including:

• Grant bremner access to the ionos7 node. [ ][ ]
• Perform a dummy change to force update of all jobs. [ ][ ]

In addition, Vagrant Cascadian performed some necessary node maintenance of the underlying build hosts. [ ]
