Anyone have suggestions for resilient doorknob safety covers? My 2yo is now just dismantling the cover so that he can open his bedroom door and run amok.

I have a beef with whomever decided to make "a part" and "apart" have diametrically opposed meanings.

It's been a year since we first decided we were going to create the Open Source Project Security Baseline — and it's been a wild ride. I'll be talking about it during a #OSSummit keynote on Wednesday, but beforehand... let's hang out and celebrate a bit! www.sonatype.com/event/baseli...

Anyone have an explanation for this downtime spike? Reports simultaneously from GCP and AWS, so that's ruled out. Heatmap from different report pages has major cities reporting from every US region.

Hey everyone, please skip the OSS Summit NA keynotes on Wednesday 6/25 in Denver. They're all together only an hour long, so you're not missing much. Thanks in advance.

Graphs always have a way of reminding me that we literally cannot comprehend what our ancestors were thinking, feeling, experiencing in their lifetimes. Even such a core human element as "a parent's love" would have different meaning if the context is that 2 in 5 kids die before kindergarten.

Used Cursor for the first time today, and it took a single prompt to resolve some long-standing bugs in my hobby tool. I'm not happy.

Love it when someone randomly tries to teach me about a thing I created — feels like it's got a life of its own.

I have a dream that one day our teams will be able to use the GitHub API predictably and sensibly — without tears, regrets, or thoughts of begging their organization to change to another source forge.

So apparently any time an iphone voice memo transcribes the term "Dave & Buster's" it will refuse to send. There is no content filtering on voice memos, but anything containing Dave & Buster's gets silently dropped — marked as sent, but never gets recieved. Bug, or corporate warfare?

It can't be understated how much the OSU Open Source Lab has done for open source, in Oregon and worldwide, for 22 years now. So many folks I've worked with have come through there, and been introduced to open source principles, to system administration, to their careers and hobbies.

LLMs are currently subsidized by VC dollars, and the prices MUST get raised by something like 10x to recoup the money that's been spent. Ridesharing did the same thing — cheap rides until market dominance, then slowly increase the price over time. Dependency on LLMs will come with a cost.

I never thought I would need to say monoecious out loud, but today I was told "They only plant male oak trees in cities because they don't want acorns." 1. Who is "they" 2. Hold on while I look up the pronunciation of monoecious.

CVE Program Funding Reinstated—What It Means And What To Do Next
U.S. government funding for the global database of security flaws, the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures database, is expiring. Here's what you need to know.

Now we've lost funding for the common vulnerabilities & exposures system that the entire cybersecurity industry relies on. gg, well played.

Can anyone explain why reserve and reverse are basically the same. Neither of them use the "re" in it's standalone sense, they are visually interchangeable, and whenever I finish the first I inevitably want to do the second.

I just watched a flight attendant speed by with a cart, slam it into the armrest of a seat in front of me, and then quickly scold the startled passenger before moving on. I am so confused.

A keynote about the EU Cyber Resilience Act at the #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon EU couldn't be more appropriate! Happy to see it there and that we start collectively discussing the implications, how to comply, etc.! Thanks @eddieknight.dev and @michaellieberman.bsky.social for bringing that topic 🙂

On the off chance that there are any technical writers lurking among us... I'm connected to multiple projects in the LF ecosystem right now that are starving for help on documentation, guides, and and READMEs. If you're also at KubeCon, I can also make some time to chat here in person!
