Crow CI v5.5.0 is out Pipelines can now be written in Jsonnet alongside YAML, and logs can be stored on any S3-compatible backend. The admin panel gained automatic Docker cleanup for orphaned containers and networks, and trusted PRs can be permanently approved to skip the gate. (1/2)

The new version includes many bugfixes and QOL improvements, which you might have come across in older versions (or in Woodpecker): - Restarting failed pipelines resources metadata, so you can fix your secret conditions and actually rerun a workflow - Bulk-delete for cron, secrets, registries

Just released v5 of #crowci - a hard-fork of #woodpecker Many hours of work went into this new release, which looks and (almost) feels like an entirely new application! Besides a fully refactored UI, docs were migrated to #astro #starlight (crowci.dev).

I was also surprised, also because the previous stack (proj, gdal etc.) worked in harmony and I couldn't find any valid reason for that bump to be necessary. Fwiw: ~ 1.5 years ago, the same happened with libgit which then required a rebuild of all packages linking to it.

Meanwhile got some advice which includes go version -m and govulncheck -mode=binary -show verbose <binary> that perfectly verify and do what I was searching for. Confirmed the findings of Trivy & MS Defender

110

Patrick Schratz @pat-dev.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

Are trivy and MS Defender known for false-positives in such cases? I am in a weird spot where multiple scanners flag (multiple) binaries, the company says "nothing there, error on your (scanner) side" and I need to report to the sec team with 2:1 scanners in favor of the vuln being present.

100

Patrick Schratz @pat-dev.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

They are not willing to share their go.mod file to verify they are not using package version XY in them. I am somewhat skeptical about this argument. What are my best chances to find a verifiable proof to this (other than attempting to exploit the vuln?)

Patrick Schratz @pat-dev.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

#cve #security I need advice in how to act in the following case: A medium-big software vendor using #golang claims that the reported CVEs by #trivy and MS defender on their statically linked binaries are false-positives. Only #snyk would give a "correct" result.

On top, there is no #arm64 image variant in 2025, and the related discussions around that (6+ years) have quite some popcorn potential. Especially with the fact that the project is built with #golang and building multi-arch images there is super easy.

Deployed #harbor container registry lately. While it has a lot of features and it is great to have a self-hostable alternative to the big SaaS options, the lack of love for details, especially in the UI, is somewhat insane.

Also to avoid confusion and point out some organizational differences, it might be better to have a distinct TLD. Sometimes it is time for change. Maybe we arrived at such a moment ;)

000

Patrick Schratz @pat-dev.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

The suffix is fixed anyhow by install.packages(), it is only about the TLD. r-project.org is not in scope for the TLD as CRAN is not interested in the project (and probably sees it as competition?). I asked them some time ago to possibly collaborate, specifically for the Alpine binaries.

Only public repos, no profit-related projects. Due to some other (related) philosophies, such as not using any cloud service and self-hosting hardware, uptime and service availability has not always been great in the past. And in general, it's always good having multiple alternatives ;)

Why #rstats? It should concern any language. I personally have some projects on Codeberg. I am also currently working on a public Forgejo-based platform, which will also be open for companies (as CBs ToS are very strict). Beta will be available soon.

That being said: if one has a catchy name for a new #Git provider (like GH, GL) that is new yet reserved (and doesn't have 'git' in it), feel free to drop it here 😄 (when I'll use it, I'll surely buy you a ☕ - or two, or three...)

Trying for weeks to find a name for a new project incl. a com domain. Almost impossible these days, many domains are parked without being used. Likely in the hope to be sold to some that start with a large budget 🫠 ICANN should enforce the use within time X or drop the ownership again, IMO.

Yeah I see. Was wondering about this under middle/high load when reads might lag a bit behind and users try to reload a page where they just wrote something before. OTOH I really want to keep async replication for performance. Let's see how it turns out in practice 😄

#zed editor (finally) added a visual #git integration. Slick and well done. It might be time to fully switch from #vscode and save a lot of battery (even though Zed sometimes also goes crazy there).
