Today I learned #TIL: "How to automatically build a human.json file in Hugo"

How to automatically build a human.json file in Hugo

As I mentioned the other day, I recently added a human.json file to this site. However, it became a bit annoying adding new vouches to the json manually. So today I sat down and made it get created automatically during my page build powered by Hugo, based on a list of vouches stored in a vouches.yaml data file1. For this I first created said data file in data/vouches.yaml: - url: https://food.foosel.net date: "2026-03-14" - url: https://chaos.social/@foosel date: "2026-03-14" - url: https://octoprint.org date: "2026-03-14" # ... Then I created a new output format humanjson in my config.yaml, making sure to also add it to the home page:

I just received my pre-ordered GameSir “Pocket Taco” this morning and found the setup to be non-trivial for pairing with an iPhone and configuring the controller with the @delta_emulator Here’s the exact steps to setup and start playing with this new controller:

If you're going to PyConUS and planning out your talk schedule, I scraped the website talks and saved the title, times, room, speaker, and description into a CSV. You can find it in this Github gist (https://gist.github.com/ptmcg/d851232d6b90812e1c01c990ecec516c), which uses littletable and rich packages to provide a simple REPL to search the talks by keyword, title, and speaker. #pycon #pyconus #python #littletable

It's a good problem to have that I'm having a difficult time thinking of a website that /doesn't/ have an RSS feed. Where's "https://neverrss.com" when you need it? :)

This matches my suggestion in “Open Source Security work isn't Special”, where I argued against the assumption that security work is done only by few privileged maintainers.

Kudos to GitHub for improving this important feature! 🚀

Exciting news for projects on GitHub looking to use the private vulnerability reporting / security advisories features:

“We're working toward enabling fine-grained permissions for security advisories - create, read, edit, and close/accept/publish - that can be assigned at the repository level through custom repository roles”
