Does your org run a self-managed version of @gitlab.com and publish your own #Python packages to @pypi.org ?

If you want to try out an alpha of Trusted Publishing for GitLab Self-Managed instances, let me know via DM - I'm collecting interest now, and should have something to show soon.

Will it matter? I don't know. Especially if the software is "for me" and I can use the thing that made it to fix it when it doesn't do *exactly* what I want...

Maybe the friction involved in starting a fresh project helped forestall creating net new things all the time and inspired us to look for existing solutions, and potentially extend/contribute to them.

With the ability to quickly imagine your idea into reality, are we in a new era of software slop?

The final two games for @gothamderby.bsky.social home season happened last night in Brooklyn. They were both really good games, and the championship game was a close, hard-fought nail-biter with some truly awesome displays of athleticism.

Support your local #rollerderby league!

Attackers continue to find creative ways to expose credentials, often the first step in a larger scale supply chain attack.

Python Package Index @pypi.org · 19d

A campaign targeted GitHub Actions to steal PyPI tokens—PyPI wasn’t compromised and no PyPI packages were published by the attackers. Stay safe: review your tokens, rotate any exposed ones, and use short-lived, scoped GitHub Actions tokens. Details:
