Xecrets File Command Line cryptographic toolbox for Windows, macOS and Linux
Tags: showdev, opensource, linux, security
Published: 2023-09-21 08:36:36

Xecrets File Command Line is a file encryption cryptographic toolbox for Windows, macOS and Linux.

Released as Open Source under GPL, it's perfect for advanced users for desktop and scripted encryption, secure backups to the cloud without exposing passwords, computer to computer file transfer, encrypted file distribution to users who may open it with a desktop app and so much more! It supports both symmetric passwords as well as public key encryption.

It's 100% AxCrypt compatible, in fact it's based on the exact same code, but does not have a graphical user interface as it's been re-engineered into a pure command line utility.

With optional JSON messages and progress it can be integrated programmatically in a reliable way, using a soon to be released SDK or you can roll your own.

There is a companion [desktop app](https://www.axantum.com/xecrets-file-ez) for casual and non-technical users as well, that uses this command line for all cryptographic operations.

See the [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/xecrets/xecrets-file-cli) and the [Home Page](https://www.axantum.com/) for details!
Association Study of Age Acceleration and Disease Expression
Tags: beginners
Published: 2023-09-21 08:30:20

The aging of today's global population is accelerating, leading to a higher incidence of some diseases related to aging, such as chronic diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, etc. However, people at the same age may show different disease expressions, and one possible factor is due to differences in the aging process of different individuals, which means that the actual age of individuals is the same but their biological age may be different.

Then understanding the biological age and aging rate of different individuals, the latter is also known as age acceleration, can help us identify high incidence groups and is important for early disease prevention.
**As a biological service provider for [aging research](https://www.agingclocks.com/association-study-of-age-acceleration-and-disease-expression.html), we can provide services for association studies between age acceleration and disease expression on the basis of DNA methylation analysis.**

Tags: security, cybersecurity, informationsecurity, infosec
Published: 2023-09-21 08:29:54

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the latest version of the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It provides a framework for organizations to manage their information security risks and protect their information assets.

To learn more about the new standard, I recommend reading the book [Mastering Information Security Compliance Management by Packt](https://rebrand.ly/vbvgwzt).

There are many benefits to implementing ISO/IEC 27001:2022, including:

- Improved information security posture: ISO/IEC 27001:2022 helps organizations to identify, assess, and manage their information security risks. This can help to reduce the likelihood of a security breach and protect the organization's information assets.
- Increased customer and supplier confidence: ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification demonstrates to customers and suppliers that the organization has taken steps to protect their information. This can lead to increased business opportunities and improved relationships with customers and suppliers.
- Compliance with regulations: ISO/IEC 27001:2022 can help organizations to comply with a variety of regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
- Reduced costs: ISO/IEC 27001:2022 can help organizations to reduce the costs associated with security breaches, such as financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory fines.
- Improved operational efficiency: ISO/IEC 27001:2022 can help organizations to improve their operational efficiency by streamlining their information security processes and procedures.

If you are considering implementing ISO/IEC 27001:2022, there are a few things you should keep in mind:

- ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is a commitment: Implementing ISO/IEC 27001:2022 requires a commitment from the organization's top management. The organization must be willing to invest in resources and training to implement and maintain an ISMS.
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is a process: Implementing ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is not a one-time event. It is an ongoing process that requires continuous improvement.
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is flexible: ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is designed to be flexible enough to be implemented by organizations of all sizes and industries. The organization can choose the controls that are most relevant to its specific needs.

# Use a ratio of 100:42 for best results.

One day, I wanted to edit an image, to remove the background and make it transparent using Pinta, which is based on Paint .NET—a great tool for my level of image editing.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/5audn1t411jtxa7payme.png)

So, I was going through the options, and I came across the Layer Blend Mode "Multiply," which gave me the result that was perfect for my use.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/g3g0ed76p877sxsuf162.png)

However, the saved image still had a white background, meaning that the alpha channel was broken. After trying multiple ways to save the correct image, I resorted to downloading the source code and fixing the problem myself.

Firstly, I found the methods that handle image saving and layer flattening. I thought that the code for flattening might be different from the code for displaying. But everything looked as it should be. After some testing, I came to the conclusion that the "Multiply" Blend Mode was broken in a way that when it blends, it does its thing but makes the alpha channel be 1 in the range [0-1].

So, I dug deeper and found out that the base graphics library for Pinta is Cairo. I spent a few hours trying to figure out where the problem was, hoping that I could report a bug or even fix an important bug in such an important library.

I found nothing, and I was a bit disappointed. I went to bed, and then I got it.

![Image description](https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/articles/1fv8tmx37zkhzgwzogww.png)

The problem was not in the saved file. "Multiply" means that it multiplies channel by channel [1, 0.5, 1, 1] x [0.5, 0.5, 1, 1] -> [0.5, 0.25, 1, 1]:[R, G, B, A], so it gives a darker image. It has nothing to do with transparency.

So, the Blend Mode worked as intended.

The problem was that this operation is also applied between the canvas (transparent background pattern) and the displayed image, so it gives the illusion that the displayed image is transparent.

The solution would be to separate the layer drawing from the canvas drawing and then draw the layer drawing with the Blend Mode set to "Normal." This way, what we see is what we get in the end.

I may make a proposition to fix this, maybe fix it myself, or if anyone is up to it, they can do it and let me know when to pull the project.

All the best!

Lapce Typescript Support
Tags: lapce, typescript
Published: 2023-09-21 07:55:56

I've been looking for a decent alternative to `VS Code` for a long time. I love `VS Code` but let's face it: it's slow and bloated if you're not on some good hardware.

I just discovered [`Lapce`](https://lapce.dev) and was immediately impressed by its potential. It's an open-source text editor fully written in Rust, it's lightning-fast, and already has some nice features out of the box like native modal-editing (vim), language features through LSP providers, decent `Git` support, and an integrated terminal.

I'm posting this, because for whatever reason, getting `Typescript` support working was a pain in the ass.

1.
Install `typescript-language-server` and `typescript` (Requires `NodeJS`) via `npm` or your system package manager:

`npm i --global typescript-language-server@2 typescript`
**The plugin page did not specify the `@2` version, may have been my problem.**

Server needs to be in one of the paths included in PATH environment variable.
**This turned out to not work for me, may have also been my problem.**

2.
Add the [TS / JS plugin](https://github.com/panekj/lapce-typescript) to `Lapce`.

3.
Edit the `Lapce` settings file by pressing `Ctrl + Alt + P` and typing `settings file`. Add these settings to the end:
```toml
[lapce-typescript.volt]
serverPath = "C:/Users/username/AppData/Roaming/npm/typescript-language-server.cmd"
serverArgs = ["--stdio"]
```

Where the `serverPath` is going to be specific to where `npm` puts global installs.

`Lapce` is still missing a few things and it's modal support is adequate at best, but it's okay since it's still in *Pre-Alpha*. For the speed, I'm going to consider the lack of features a decent trade-off. I look forward to see where it goes from here! 

If you try `Lapce`, let me know!

Additionally, the cost of maintenance and energy consumption has been reduced since there is less disk and energy consumption required. This technology is also considered highly secure since data is stored in-memory and is not susceptible to attacks on physical storage devices.

 

Edge computing brings significant benefits to the world of IoT and other smart device technologies. For example, it can reduce the amount of data sent to the cloud, which reduces the need for high bandwidth connectivity and saves costs. Furthermore, it can facilitate real-time decision-making at the device level, enabling quicker response times and improving device and system performance.

 

In conclusion, in-memory computing and edge computing are transformative technologies that have unleashed new possibilities and opportunities for businesses. These technologies not only improve processing capabilities but also enhance decision-making speed, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. As a result, more and more organizations are exploring the possibilities of these technologies and integrating them into their systems.
