Just back from a Fathers Day trip to the local art house theater with the fam, and we saw "Tuner". Really incredible film. Super engaging characters and story. Great camera and sound work. A+ all around. And it's such a delight when movies portray musical performance accuractely. 🎵

Because today is the June #solstice, here is my 2020 animated map of this solstice’s day-night cycle rendered using the #CahillConcialdi map projection, which is my most favorite.

This is the first time I'm posting anything here but I figured this may be the right audience.

I've never run into something like this and I don't quite know what to make of it. I'm the author and maintainer of libgpiod. The official git repository is the one at kernel.org[1]. There's also a github mirror[2] as well as a documentation page[3] at readthedocs that I maintain.

I noticed (purely by chance) that there's a new website at libgpiod.com that's been created recently. I have nothing to do with it. It's clearly AI-generated but it redirects to my github. It's a 2 month old domain, anonymized registrar, protected by Cloudflare and NeoProtect and a Swedish host behind that.

Clearly someone went to great lengths to stay anonymous. I'm afraid of falling victim to some new elaborate supply chain attack. What should I do about it (if anything)? Has anyone else experienced something similar?
