I've finally found a valid use case for #PyPI attestations: the provenance check lets me find wrong case in #GitHub URLs. Like, if the user is "FooBar", GitHub just lets me use "foobar" in the URL and doesn't correct it in any way, but provenance check will fail!

New from Cloudflare:

"We're introducing @cloudflare/computer, an agent runtime that dynamically orchestrates between fast, efficient isolates and full Linux containers to give every agent a computer of its own."

"The central piece of @cloudflare/computer is the workspace. A virtual filesystem backed by SQLite that can be populated from various sources including cloud storage and source control."

India orders GitHub to remove Bluetooth-based chat app Bitchat

“The application enables anonymous communication without mandatory user registration, phone number verification, or centralised logging of communications. The technical architecture of the application significantly impedes lawful interception, attribution and investigation by law enforcement agencies,”

I don't know what's more stupid: #OpenSSH using different authentication flow depending on whether you have a `.pub` file in addition to the private key or not, or #GitHub suddenly starting to reject one of the two valid RFC 4252 workflows.

#SSH

Working on my #Github for screen readers guide, covers downloading assets, since that's what others seem to have the most trouble doing. I'm working on the GUI section, already finished the CLI section, and as a blind person, I've come to the conclusion the CLI is peak user interface. Yes, it's complicated to *learn* but I gotta tell ya, once you learn it, it never changes. Trying to provide evergreen GUI instructions is very fucking hard. #CLI #Git

#GitHub Status: there was no downtime recently.

Lessons Learned from #CISA’s Recent #GitHub Leak

so, I'm thinkign of starting my vlog again except there will not really be a comments page. why? it is oging ot be be built using jeckle and github pages. I've taken to using that as it just works. No databases, nothing. Storage of all materials will be done externally and the good thing? no caches and everyone gets the same site thereby reducing resources.

I just got this bill from #microsoft for #github usage. See if you can spot what is ridiculous about this bill.

Alt...

Screenshot of my “account usage” page at GitHub. It lists a bunch of “Included usage” items, each of which is zero dollars. They’re things like 2,000 Actions minutes .5 GB Actions storage 10 GB Git LFS storage Then it says Free usage: 100% off per month Zero dollars and two cents. The only thing on the list that explicitly says one hundred percent discount has a non-zero charge.

& now there's YA reason: last week, #GitHub urged the FOSS community to *oppose* important #California legislation that places transparency and consumer rights requirements on deployment of LLM-gen-AI!

GitHub's tactic? Disinformation claiming #FOSS licenses are incompatible with Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §22757 and California #SB1000 (which seeks to amend §22757).

Read the analysis: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2026/jul/03/github-gen-ai-california-22757-ok-for-foss-license/

Congratulations. Now I'm actively worried to open a PR fixing my issue, because there's already been a few #slop PRs opened attempting to fix it. And I'm literally worried that mine would be taken as another slop PR…
