Has anyone else started getting spam from a Substack they definitely didn't subscribe to? It's for with an email I wouldn't have signed up to, and it's a language I don't know (Spanish)

I've now unsubscribed and marked it as spam - I didn't seem to get a "are you sure you want to sign up", but I did get a "thanks for subscribing" post (in Spanish)

Friends and folks working with #SBOMs - how do you conceptually think about them in terms of ingesting them into tools?

I.e. I like to think of an SBOM having a source repository or component it relates to, but sometimes you don't know that up front, and all you have is the result of a scan, which could be the source repo, a container image, or a built binary.

Considering whether:

  • I try to guess what repo/component it is based on the filename
  • Just store the filename in the database and allow querying with that (and leave repo info optional)
  • Retrieve metadata from the SBOM that known tools use to define this
  • Some 4th option?

Trying to tweak how Dependency Management Data works with SBOMs and trying to find how other folks do it and consider them

Does anyone know if there's a good way of getting a historical storage of queries that users put into #Datasette? Trying to get some stats around common queries and usage, couldn't see a plugin for it, but not sure if my searching just missed it

Listened to The AI Conundrum: Implications for OSPOs by CHAOSS Project 
Post details
In this episode of CHAOSScast, host Dawn Foster brings together Matt Germonprez, Brian Proffitt, and Ashley Wolf to discuss the implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs), including policy considerations, the potential for AI-driven contributions to create workload for maintainers, and the quality of contributions. They also touch on the use of AI internally within companies versus contributing back to the open source community, the importance of distinguishing between human and AI contributions, and the potential benefits and challenges AI introduces to open source project health and community metrics. The conversation strikes a balance between optimism for AI’s benefits and caution for its governance, leaving us to ponder the future of open source in an AI-integrated world.

Listening to Tulips - Minotaur Shock Remix is forever going to remind me of the last few chapters of Leviathan Falls. It happened to be what I was listening to at the time, and the lyrics seemed to fit so perfectly with the grand finale, and listening to it just now brought that all back, including all the feels around the events.

Deffo need to re-read #TheExpanse series, what a great series.

Hats off: "Billionaire Elon Musk, found dead in his home last night, says it is not the role of social media networks to determine what is true or not. The Tesla and X owner, who is believed to have died from a heroin overdose while watching animal porn, said he would fight any attempts to stop the spread of misinformation on his platform" https://theshovel.com.au/2024/04/23/elon-musk-dead-at-52-misinformation-laws/

Learning this was a huge booster to my productivity, no longer needing to remember where things went. Pair that with git rebase --autosq (or git rebase --autosq -i on older Git versions) and 🤌

Holy shit, Conan O’Brian on Hot Ones was … holy shit what the hell was that. I don’t know what I was expecting but … holy shit! Talk about committing to the bit - Conan didn’t commit to the bit, he fucking pledged his immortal soul to the bit. I’ve never seen anything quite like that.
