Everything in FOSS that isn't code.

Sat on the Berlin wall the day it fell. From the walled in side. Sat on an Ambulance roof the day the bells rang.
đš New Investigation: Attackers are hunting the maintainers behind Lodash, Fastify, buffer, Pino, mocha, Express, and #Nodejs core, because compromising one of them means write access to packages downloaded billions of times a week.
Multiple high-impact maintainers have all confirmed they were targeted in the same coordinated social engineering campaign that compromised Axios.

i was quite surprised to discover that no one had registered deleteduser [dot] com, and was curious to see how many emails i'd get if i registered it, assuming many orgs 'delete' logic probably just overwrote the email address with [email protected] or similar.
The answer, is at least 3 different orgs in the hour that I've owned that domain and been listening for email.
And yes, all of those emails contain the actual PII of the person who has been 'deleted' :-D
đŹđ§ A new comet is visible with the naked eye !
C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) is an Oort cloud comet which will reach perihelion (the closest distance) on the 19th, before going away forever.
This morning, I loaded my backpack and set up to capture it. I wanted to see it rise next to the Bietschhorn (3 934). The comet is currently in the Pegasus constellation, just below 51 Pegasi, the first star known to host an exoplanet.
If you have clear skies, you should definitely try to see it : It is bright, and will pass only once! It already shows a very long tail, more than 10° long.
The image was taken with a 120-300 lens, set at 180mm. It is an ethical composite: I first captured the foreground with the tracking off (5 x 15s) and then turned the tracking on when the comet reached the desired position (120 x 15s).
đšđ Une nouvelle comĂšte est visible Ă l'Ćil nu !
C/2025 R3 (PanSTARRS) est une comÚte du nuage d'Oort qui atteindra son périhélie (la distance minimale au Soleil) le 19 avril, avant de s'éloigner pour toujours dans l'espace interstellaire.
Ce matin, j'ai chargé mon sac à dos et je suis allé la capturer. Je voulais la voir se lever à cÎté du Bietschhorn (3 934 m). La comÚte se trouve actuellement dans la constellation de Pégase, juste en dessous de 51 Pegasi, autour de laquelle on a découvert la premiÚre exoplanÚte.
Si vous avez un ciel dégagé, ne ratez pas ça : elle est brillante, elle ne passera qu'une seule fois, et sa queue s'étend déjà sur plus de 10° dans le ciel !
Jâai utilisĂ© un objectif 120-300 mm Ă 180 mm. Lâimage est un composite Ă©thique : le premier plan capturĂ© sans suivi (5 x 15 s), puis suivi activĂ© une fois la comĂšte en position (120 x 15 s).
Pysanky are traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs, decorated with symbolic patterns and ornaments.
Pysanky are more than just decoration, they are true talismans. Each symbol carries meaning: the sun represents life and light, birds symbolize freedom and the soul.
In these small details live our cultuređđ

I donât know if youâve seen this combination before. Itâs both a pysanka and travlenka in one piece, two different techniques combined in a single artwork.
Just look at how incredibly beautiful it is.

Heavy drama in the open-source world of...
...Office Document Software.
Nextcloud, originally a fork of ownCloud, has launched Euro-Office, a fork of OnlyOffice (pissing off OnlyOffice). Collabora is weighing in and issuing comments against both OnlyOffice and Euro-Office while, itself, forking Collabora Office Desktop from the Document Foundation's LibreOffice. Document Foundation has now resumed LibreOffice Online which competes against Euro-Office and OnlyOffice.
(I think I've got all that right đ Correct me if I haven't! đ)

Document software may appear boring on its face, but Microsoft Office is a big reason why folks still stay with Microsoft OS and don't (can't...) move to Linux. MS Office 365 is often used as a bridge to allow folks to move to Linux while still using Microsoft products in the browser but that solution still keeps them tied to closed source solutions.
Development of Free and Open Sourced Software (FOSS) office products, both desktop apps and online web apps, is a core and key element to allowing FOSS solutions to thrive - both for individuals and organizations.
This level of drama and fighting is indicative of a lot of effort and attention being thrown into this arena. I'm confident over time it'll settle and different projects will merge back together or at the very least borrow and build upon each's efforts.

inspired by CLAUDE.md, Iâve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me
for some reason theyâre all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment
