Remove duplicate `camaleon_cms` advisory by postmodern · Pull Request #5622 · github/advisory-database

GHSA-3hp8-6j24-m5gm appears to be the exact same advisory as GHSA-7x4w-cj9r-h4v9, but with slightly different formatting and no CVSS metadata.

Where do you (or should you) put the code used for code generation within a library? Obviously cannot put it in `lib/`, because this code is only meant to be used internally to generate the code in `lib/`.

Also a little peeved about how simply mapping a finite set of String values from the DB to a finite set of Symbols is so error prone in ActiveRecord. It should not be this difficult. ಠ_ಠ

Lazy Rails: how do you define String based/backed Enums in ActiveRecord 7.x? Appears that by giving an explicit mapping of Hash{Symbol => String}, this causes an ArgumentError where it incorrectly tries to define the same `enum_value?` method twice. github.com/ronin-rb/ron... #activerecord

Finally added Ruby 3.4 to Ronin's CI and am getting bitten by base64 and csv load issues, due to them no longer being "default gems" but now just "bundled gems". Ruby code can still require these files just fine, but Bundler is excluding them. Must we really add these gems to gem's gemspecs? #ruby

We need a Rails-lite alternative. Something with an app structure, code generators, and with OOP; but maybe not to the extent that Hanami takes things. Have you looked at some of the Crystal web frameworks for inspiration? Amber and Marten are the most Rails inspired, imo. github.com/isaced/cryst...

Sinatra lacked the structure and rigging that Rails gives you (especially code generators), so it's a little *too* lightweight. Padrino attempted to take Sinatra and give you that familiar app structure and CLI tools, but for some reason never caught on.

I still cannot edit my posts. Also still not a fan of BlueSky's overly complex AT crypto-protocol; I still believe it could be redesigned to be much simpler using off-the-shelf public key crypto and JSON. Also still don't like how BlueSky feels like a Twitter clone which gives me Twitter-PTSD.

I want to like Hanami, but there's *so much* ceremony and boilerplate just to query a single row from a single table and render it as HTML. Hanami is not a drop-in replacement for Rails due to it's complexity and steeper learning curve. We need a true Rails-lite; which was Hanami's original vision.
