Prosodical Thoughts: Prosody 0.12.3 released
We are pleased to announce a new minor release from our stable branch.
This is a bugfix release for our stable 0.12 series. Most notably, it fixes a
regression for SQL users introduced in 0.12.2, and a separate long-standing
compatibility issue with archive stores on certain MySQL/MariaDB versions.
It also fixes an issue with websockets discovered by the Jitsi team, some
issues with our internal HTTP client API, and we’ve improved the accuracy of
‘prosodyctl check dns’ in … ⌘ Read more

**RT by @mind_booster: A thread on @paulkrugman’s @nytopinion OpEd that we don’t need to give up the idea of “perpetual economic growth” in order to halt global heating.
TL/DR: Krugman is looking at tiny parts of our global system with a magnifying glass, which makes his argument deeply flawed.

Quand le méchant capitalisme enrichit les salariés
Décidément, il ne fait pas bon en France être salarié de grandes entreprises capitalistes : comme tous les syndicalistes, les collectivistes et les fines épées de la NUPES le répètent, ces groupes ne sont que les repaires de patrons exploiteurs et y travailler revient à s’asservir à des cadences infernales pour des salaires de misère.

PEP 708: Extending the Repository API to Mitigate Dependency Confusion Attacks
Dependency confusion attacks, in which a malicious package is installed instead of the one the user expected, are an increasingly common supply chain threat. Most such attacks against Python dependencies, including the recent PyTorch incident, occur with multiple package repositories, where a dependency expected to come from one repository (e.g. a custom index) is installed from another (e.g. PyPI). ⌘ Read more

It seemed fitting to at least make sure the little bit I contribute to the web here is also accessible.
