pip 25.1 has been released earlier today! It is our second feature release of the year. It's a large release, with several new features, including support for Dependency Groups (PEP 735), resumable downloads, and experimental lockfile (PEP 751) generation support. 🎉

This time around, I did the responsible thing and wrote my accompanying post *ahead of time*, so if you want to read it on release day, you can right now!

Watching o3 guess a photo’s location is surreal, dystopian and wildly entertaining

Watching OpenAI’s new o3 model guess where a photo was taken is one of those moments where decades of science fiction suddenly come to life. It’s a cross between the …

So here's something interesting I learned the other day: BetterHelp charges me in euros, €240 odd a month, but pays its therapists in US dollars, even if they're located in Europe.

So at the moment my therapist is being paid significantly less than I'm paying for their services. Like 20-30% less.

Is betterhelp just pocketing the exchange rate difference?

"descentralwash" という単語は初めて見た

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online Bluesky has always been decentralwashing their centralized product. Now their trying to decentralwash their central outage. Their right in one thing: The discussion which protocol better scales for decentralized social media is pointless, as only one of the two protocols is used that way.

ActivityPubのサーバーぜんぶ同時に攻撃すればそりゃAPネットワークは落ちるんだろうけど、どうやってそんなことやるんだ https://bsky.app/profile/pfrazee.com/post/3lnnfwf3tns22

Paul Frazee (@pfrazee.com)

1. Bluesky’s about interop and scale, mastos about topological distribution, blockchains are about censorship resistance. Decentralization means different things 2. All of our PDSes got DDOSed. Any PDS that wasn’t stayed online. If the same happened to AP, they would’ve had the same outage

I have mixed feelings about some of these DropTimes posts. I understand that making benign conversations between developers exciting occasionally requires leaning into any potentially controversial aspects of the thread.

In this case, I'm going to go ahead and say what should be obvious to anyone reading the post

I only have the “opt into security coverage” privileges on Drupal.org today because I'm a 50+ year old white male who was born in America.

#drupalcommunity #opensourcesupport #mentorshipmatters #contributionculture | The Drop Times

💡 One Small Module, One Big Lesson in Open Source Inclusion 🤝🌍 A seemingly minor Drupal module with fewer than 200 installs has sparked a major conversation about mentorship and barriers in the contribution process. In a heartfelt LinkedIn post, Kevin Reynen from the University of Denver shared how he used his status to unblock a willing contributor, Mustafa Akbay, M., who had hit a wall trying to maintain the Edit UUID module. Mustafa was denied maintainer access due to not having the required “opt into security coverage” status—an often opaque and tough hurdle for new contributors. Kevin stepped in, took over the project, and handed the reins to Mustafa, enabling meaningful contribution where bureaucracy had stalled it. Their story highlights a broader issue: many useful, abandoned modules are stuck in limbo, and new contributors are discouraged by rigid gatekeeping. The solution? More seasoned developers using their clout to lift up fresh voices and foster a truly inclusive community. ✨ As Kevin puts it, “Open source is about more than code. It’s about people who lift each other up.” 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ew6z4AZs #DrupalCommunity #OpenSourceSupport #MentorshipMatters #ContributionCulture

Today I replaced my old (and broken) Nextcloud server with a brand new one, running in an IPv6-only FreeBSD VNET jail, with Nginx as webserver, PostgreSQL as database and Redis for caching.

MySQL on the old Nextcloud got borked during an attempted upgrade from version 27 to 28 because it was running an old, incompatible version. Unfortunately, the backup I made before the upgrade was for a different VM, so the damage was permanent.

Fortunately, all user data was protected by ZFS (mounted over NFS to the VM on Proxmox VE), so nothing was lost. To prevent such mishaps in the future, the datasets containing the jail and the data now have hourly snapshots as well as daily offsite backups.
