Auditing public Google Drive files
If you work in information security for a company that uses Google Drive internally, you are probably concerned about the possibility that sensitive files in your company Google Drive are configured with no access control. Often, people will publicly share a file temporarily, but then forget to un-share it again. Google Drive does not make it easy to even find your own files with this sharing setting enabled.

Performance: Iron vs Nickel
This is part 3 of the Great Rust Web Experiment. See Part 1 about Iron, and Part 2 about Nickel, and how it compares to Iron. In short, I’ve built the same relatively small web-application in Rust using both Iron and Nickel, in order to get a feel for both frameworks and determine which framework I prefer. But now that I have the identical application written using both frameworks, we have an opportunity to see how they compare, performance wise.

Getting Started with Nickel
This is part 2 of the Great Rust Web Experiment. For Part 1 see here. I’m building the same relatively small web-application in Rust using both Iron and Nickel, in order to get a feel for both frameworks and determine which framework I prefer. The application is a simple Pastebin clone, designed primarily for use with
curl
but which will also work (to a limited extent) via browser. It supports submitting, deleting, editing, and retrieving pastes (with optional syntax highlighting).
