Don't let me near colorful paint. I have either the homosexual audacity and/or mania where sometimes I wake up and decide, I don't like white window frames. #mcm #homeimprovement

Stay with me here, there's a lot of color happening. In the US near the 1950s and 1960s, a lot of consumer goods were made with just a single shade of one color...there's *one* orange, green, etc. My walls are the green and orange and my window panes are now...also bright ass orange.

The Erlang Ecosystem Foundation CNA now publishes vulnerability data directly to OSV.dev. No more relying solely on CVE→OSV conversion. This update means faster, cleaner, and higher-quality security data for the BEAM ecosystem — including Erlang, Elixir, Gleam, and Hex.pm.
