You've probably seen me talk about nominating people for PSF Fellow Membership a bunch in the last year (e.g. https://www.jonafato.com/2024/10/31/psf-fellow-nominations-q4-due-date). My post today is to remind you that the next due date for nominations is during PyCon US next month (https://www.python.org/psf/fellows/#:~:text=May%2020,%202025)! This is a great opportunity to use some of that conference energy to nominate folks you see doing the kind of work that advances the mission of the PSF.

On the internet, everyone is an "infosec professional".

Thanks Noah for the great chat and feedback!

on this international workers' day, a thought for those whose labour goes largely unacknowledged, unappreciated & unpaid. here's to the carers & the cleaners & everyone else without whom the world would pretty much grind to a halt. ask iceland.

We got this "HIGH security problem" reported for #curl earlier today:

"The -o / --output parameter in cURL does not restrict or sanitize file paths. When passed relative traversal sequences (e.g., ../../), cURL writes files outside the current working directory, allowing arbitrary file overwrite. In automated or privileged environments (CI/CD, root containers), this leads to Remote Code Execution (RCE), privilege escalation, and supply chain risk."

Never a dull moment.

I've been adding Objective-C parsing to https://github.com/xoofx/CppAst.NET - previously it was only able to parse C/C++ 🚀

I never looked deeply at Objective-C so It helped to understand the syntax. 👀

Wondering why? I'm in another coding rabbit hole where I'm evaluating if it is not too much work to create a low level MacOS Interop API - similar to Xamarin.MacOS but without managed objects and platform RID

And there is always this ambivalent feeling: I enjoy these rabbit holes as much as I hate them! 😅

i guess what i'm really saying here is: you can find comments of me 10 years ago saying "I don't think rust will ever be good at web dev" and today you can find me happily and productively doing web dev in rust. i haven't figured out how to reconcile those things.

📢 #MastodonDesignAnnouncement

I hope you enjoyed your International Workers’ Day! I was at the demonstration in Strasbourg this morning; the weather was great, people were happy, and it did everyone a world of good!

Once again, I didn’t find the time to write last month’s announcement, but I’ll try to get back into the habit of publishing them on the 1st of every month—if only the first day of every month was a public holiday like May… it would be so much easier! Well, here we go.

I enjoyed your old post where you mention your first personal computer.
https://my-notes.dragas.net/2023/03/20/old-article-20-years-of-computing/

I touched my first keyboard in a class using a Data General with a few terminals hooked up in 1983. I got my first PC, also a Commodore 64, probably the same year as you (at age 41 instead of 8). Shortly after that I was not in a position to have my own PC, but did use them. In 1996 I got a Compaq Presario and the next year installed Red Hat on it using floppies that came in a box with a thick manual. I was enthralled.
