What's the best practice for running Composer audit in CI? We used to run it for every merge request, but that no longer scales given how often packages are updated due to security issues. Everything is now red and requires a lot of manual intervention to get the builds green again.
Should we run the audit command once per day, or what is recommended?…

There were some few big computers run by governments and companies. Hacking started when some younger people with (some temporary) access to computers use them creatively for other things during night shifts or by starting to build their own small computers¹.
Hacking was liberating technology from big corporations and government, from the ones in power for fun and creativity, to fight back.
TechBros try to see themselves in succession of these hackers, but they are the opposite:…

Jemand Tipps wie ich meinen Brother DCP-L3550CDW repariert bekomme?
Vermutlich ist ein Kondensator hinüber. Die letzten Male hat ein paar Stunden stromlos stehen lassen geholfen, dann konnte ich ihn wieder einschalten. Seit letzter Woche klappt das nicht mehr und er macht keinen Mucks, wenn das Stromkabel angeschlossen wird. Power-Button gedrückt halten vor und während dem einstecken hat nicht geklappt.
Just added Sveltia CMS to an #11ty project and had no idea i could also run it locally - what a great idea! So I can use its CMS to manage a site locally and just push files to the CDN - no build required - no need to worry about node upgrades on the CDN! And it was incredibly easy to install compared to the old NetlifyCMS.
Shopware 6: "Google says our sitemap is three months old" — no errors, the scheduled task looks healthy, regenerating even seems to work. It doesn't. One killed run can strand a lock with no expiry, silently blocking every regeneration after it. The one flag that breaks the spell.

Increasingly of the belief that "can write to disk at all" is an unacceptable risk for a webapp. Whether session tokens or file uploads or body buffers or whatever. Leave all of that to a database or blob store or reverse proxy. Ideally, run the webapp in a container with a readonly filesystem.

The term "single use software" currently lives rent free in my head.
People use LLMs to create software specific for their needs. But neither can other people use it (hardcoded variables, no rights management, too specific), nor do they use it again (too specific, easier to produce a new one).
Single use software is not maintained. Nobody understands it or has an interest in keeping it working.
The creation of single use software feels cheap, but isn't. It tak…

🔌 Built-in Language Server (laravel-fmt lsp) for format on save and format selection, plus --stdin-filepath for editors that only pipe a buffer
🐍 Best fit is algorithmic code that can be tailored to hardware, but plain Python and PyTorch graphs also benefit, since the company says they are often far from optimal even under Torch's compiler.
🔧 Tracing and profiling overhead is capped at 2%, zero when idle. Setup: install the runtime, run your code. The model is hosted by doubleAI, so some trust is required.
