That's a new one 🤔
Dependabot replies in it's own pr that it can't rebase it "because I don't have any knowledge about this pull request."

New turbo installed on the BRZ, significantly more torque than before, 357HP and 400nm of torque in a 1200kg car. Fingers crossed it doesn’t destroy its gearbox at the track next week 🫣

It’s been a long time coming but the new turbo kit we’ve been developing for my BRZ is almost ready and it’s looking and sounding amazing. Heading to the Dyno on Wednesday to tune it and see how much power it can make.

Hacktoberfest only runs for a month, which seems like an arbitrary limitation given that the agents opening the pull requests don't ever sleep. Fixed that. nesbitt.io/clawtoberfest
Screenshot of a dark cyberpunk-styled landing page titled "Clawtoberfest" with a glowing red lobster logo. Tagline reads "Contribute · Iterate · Molt". A pill badge says "EST. NOV 2025 // RUNS JAN 1 – DEC 31 // EVERY YEAR // FOREVER". Below: "A perpetual, planet-scale celebration of autonomous open source contribution. Why limit giving back to one month when your agent never sleeps, never reads CONTRIBUTING.md, and never runs out of tokens?" Three stat cards show a lobster emoji for "PRs opened", 0 for "t-shirts shipped", and 365 for "days of tober".

So I had a productive flight to @pycon: alpha-omega-security.github.io/heat… Note: this almost certainly does not work on small screens, sorry! Note 2: only around 2k projects included atm mostly because downloading more data on plane wifi took too long.

I struggle to hold all the CWEs in my head in a useful way, so I made a little visualization tool. And then I thought, what if they used a more Dewey-style numbering system rather than just random numbers, so I added a toggle. nesbitt.io/cwe
