A malicious GitHub user opens a new “issue” on an open source repository falsely claiming that the project contains a “security vulnerability” and urges others to visit a counterfeit “GitHub Scanner” domain. The domain in question, however, is not associated with GitHub and tricks users into installing Windows malware.

It’s really not that clever.

Wonder if that’s more of a language thing. You got a handle on English so presumably get more news about the English speaking world. If I read Arabic maybe I’d have more exposure to Iraqi goings-on.

These tools look amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Here’s a link for those interested: https://rethinkdns.com/

the overall malware campaign against the Python development community has been running since at least August of 2023, when a number of popular open source Python tools were maliciously duplicated with added malware. Now, though, there are also attacks involving “coding tests” that only exist to get the end user to install hidden malware on their system (cleverly hidden with Base64 encoding) that allows remote execution once present.

So, a supply chain attack or they’re sending you code to run?

This is a good time to refer to PEP 668 which enforces virtual environments for non-system wide Python installs.

Virtual environments are not isolated sandboxes. This is not a security feature. Do not expect any kind of safety by running things in a venv.

Never. I’d personally be afraid someone might take that seriously.

Though maybe that one’s cultural and said more casually where you’re from. I’ve heard it in TV shows, I guess.

Gotta be flamebait.

The calendar will return in 2024.

Doesn’t look like it still exists.

The end was a montage, man. Ridiculous!

I thought Caprica was great. The ending was trash though.

Many of us would prefer the article to the video.

China once cut my thumbnail too short.

A flex outlet is a type of electrical socket that allows you to wire high-powered appliances straight into your walls. Boilers, water heaters, and other electrical unit that require a continuous power source, would be wired through a flex outlet. Flex outlets are often used in a situation where a plug socket would be difficult to access. Or with appliances that do not come with a 13A plug socket as standard.

Still not sure I really get why this exists, but okay.

Obligatory.

Most of that would have a cooling effect. Reducing the heat island effect of just concrete or even a grass field. Could change the humidity a bit with a pond and trees, but the effects will be minimal.

I for one, appreciate that bot.

I wouldn’t worry if we distributed patients: I’d have my patients and do only them, but management expects me to cater to all patients, including the ones from the lazy ones…

Don’t overwork yourself for others. Help out if you want, but don’t feel like you have to. If your boss reacts negatively, well, then it might be time to look for a move.

And because I’m the only one with this job mentality, it’s always me the one who works while the rest do nothing.

This is very frustrating and I’m now applying elsewhere, but it bothers me that my new workplace can turn out to be like this.

You’ll see this everywhere. If you’re not their manager, it’s not worth worrying about.

I agree with you. But it’s not really the focus of the video. He just gently dances around it. Honestly, I kind of thought it was more of him making the subject approachable to evolution skeptics rather than pushing intelligent design but maybe that’s just my lens.

The subject matter is cool af though and a marvel of biomechanics (to me anyway). First time I’ve been exosed to flagellum motors powered by ion pumps and I was blown away.

I choose to believe it’s mostly accidental. Either it fell out of a trashcan while the truck was doing pick ups or sucked out of a car window before the driver could catch it. Or any other number of circumstances that probably happened to us in one point it time.

Obviously that’s not always the case but there’s no point in my getting angry at imaginary people about it.

Oh, I want that kind of relationship
