The state of #Python ecosystem right now: almost everything is slop. Some projects are complete vibe-coded slop (autobahn, chardet, cryptography). Some projects are disguised slop ("Coding agents shouldn't co-author themselves.")
There is only a handful of human projects left (Flask being one bright example). And they're being killed. They're being killed by the neverending slew of slop pull requests. They're being killed by all their dependencies becoming slop. They're being killed because this whole ecosystem has became such a complete cesspit that you have zero motivation to do anything.
EDIT: and honestly, this is only going to get worse. When you kill the incentive to work on projects, you only get more slop. Maintainers give in, and more projects become slop. Or they give up, and projects get forked unto slop.

⚡ One Docker command starts the full stack locally on port 3010. First startup pulls images in 2-3 minutes, then you pick inbound or outbound, name the bot, describe the use case in a few words and click Web Call.
🔑 No API keys required to start: #Dograh ships with auto-generated keys and its own LLM, TTS and STT stack. Own keys for LLM, TTS, STT or telephony can be connected later.
Why, dear god why must it always be pulling teeth to configure PHPStorm to use tools inside a container?
It's 2026. There is no excuse for how complicated this nonsense is.
Don't point me at the "autodiscovery and self-configure" page. It's wrong and worthless. I've tried many times.
I love IntelliJ/PHPStorm when it works, but... damn I don't want to think about how much time I've lost to this across many projects.
#GitHub #agenticworkflow and #renovatebot.
In this post, I want to describe the problem when combining the two, how I tried to fix it, and the correct solution.
Here's why this bothers me so much. There's already a lot of automation for patches getting backported to the numerous stable kernels. In theory those updates are focused on important or minor fixes, so distributions just pull in the latest stable release and it shows up in security updates on your machines. We _already_ have problems with problematic fixes slipping into the stable kernel series, and llm reviews are going to make it worse.
I opened my Flickr app on Android and noticed that auto-upload had stopped. When going to the settings I noticed I was unable to re-enable auto uploader. I reported a problem, got an answer within the hour, provided some more information and five minutes later the latest update was pulled. I was told to remove the app and yes re-installing the app gave me the previous version. And i was able to back up my photos again. I'd say, that was fast.
Anyone out there using flickr with auto-uploader enabled, check your settings, it might have stopped anywhere in july.

"The ruling also faulted DHS & FEMA leaders for destroying evidence. Illston found officials deleted messages on the Signal app using auto-delete timers they set themselves. She concluded that Evans "acted with the intent to deprive plaintiffs" of those messages. Going forward, the court will presume the deleted texts would have hurt the government's case, Illston wrote."

🔄 Two phases: fetch pulls verbatim metadata (title, description, views, publish date) from every subscribed channel into a local raw/ folder. ingest builds the vault with one note per video plus auto-created concept pages (Automation, CRM, Sales) and entity pages (Claude, GoHighLevel)
♻️ No artificial caps: a channel with 500 videos in your window gets all 500. Both phases dedupe by YouTube Video ID, so re-runs never create duplicates
Look who’s pulling the plug on diesel?
My thoughts and prayers are, as always, with German (or rather, Bavarian) politicians and university presidents.

I love to see clever use of the @… ecosystem and @… did a cool GNA which is automatically creating GCVE records and structured security advisories from full-disclosure mailing-list or alike:
