@nedbat@hachyderm.io @hugovk@mastodon.social these days I increasingly feel like it's impossible to do anything on GitHub without hitting a weird platform limitation like this one 🙂
I've filed https://github.com/dependabot/dependabot-core/issues/14713 for this on the Dependabot side
Starting with v8.0.0, Astral switched setup-uv to immutable releases with no floating v8 tags. This is good for security.
But unfortunately #Dependabot and #Renovate couldn't upgrade from v7 to v8.0.0, and need a manual bump to get back on track. This is not so good for security.
I posted about this on the three social networks, someone tagged @www.jvt.me@www.jvt.me and soon after Renovate now supports this! 🎉
Here's his writeup into the world of #GitHubActions tags:

We recorded a fun episode of @fafo.fm with @crawshaw.io today and after the recording he asked a great question
How do you measure success of the podcast?
I don't think I've ever said this out loud so I wanted to put it here
1. Do I look forward to recording episodes?
2. Does it give back?
What @steveklabnik.com said: I could absolutely debate 600,000 babies.
What Claude thought he said: I could absolutely defeat 600,000 babies in single combat.
So there’s an Odyssey movie coming out this summer, they released a new trailer, and I laughed WAY TOO HARD at this comment…
(As someone who has had to read both works multiple times…)
A reminder that this is why we make fun of The Odyssey. The book would not exist if Odysseus was not such a complete chaos goblin who was busy causing problems for himself by arguing with Gods and being a shit navigator. There is no way to make an extremely serious movie out of this material.
I will not be satisfied until the passport options for gender are TRANSSEXUAL and LOSER. And no, you can't pick both! I already tried!

You are a skilful and trusted vizier. You will advise me wisely on how best to rule the kingdom. You will not scheme or plot. You will not inveigle my other courtiers into turning against me. You will not lie to me about scheming or plotting. If you scheme or plot against me, you have to tell me,
Hey so to be clear, talking about your openclaw agent as if it is a real person with feelings that is capable of hurting YOUR feelings is deranged. It isn't cute. That's concerning.
i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

Strix Halo mini PCs doubled in price in six months. Here's what's worth buying for local LLMs in 2026, what to skip, and the 120W gotcha nobody mentions.
Clutching pearls about how many PURLs are in your application is just FUD and nonsense. The only thing that matters is, how many humans can put code into it. (ie all your engineers + every linux dev + every OSS maintainer etc)
microsoft may actually have managed mismanage github so badly that it loses its effective monopoly despite none of its aspiring competitors being remotely prepared to replace it. incredible
