Published some early validation results from my "SBOM for #Python packages" project. TLDR: I forked auditwheel and added some rudimentary SBOM record-keeping for bundled libraries and showed that today's SCA tools are able to use that information out-of-the-box. Full instructions and work in the post:

Early promising results with SBOMs and Python packages

This critical role would not be possible without funding from the Alpha-Omega project. Massive thank-you to Alpha-Omega for investing in the se...

It's frustrating that every announcement for a new security feature that includes the word "GitHub" immediately gets swarmed by comments and conspiracy theories about GitHub. I'm an anti-monopolist and want there to be a multitude of ways we build open source software, but I believe security features are different: mostly because they are either enabled by default or largely ignored. GitHub is important to support because it's where 84% (372,841 / 440,821) of Python packages on PyPI are built.

Did @Github just destroy the homepage feed by making it uncontrollably AI-recommended (and therefore, completely full of things I don't care about)? Looks like yes.

I wasn't happy with Feedbin's "read it later" functionality, so I am now trying out Inoreader's trial. So far so good, the functionality appears to match what I need (feeds, newsletters, read-it-later, tags, and an API) but their API quotas are really aggressive especially for a paid service. Only was able to import 120 of my 160+ feeds for now... After Omnivore was so suddenly gone I'm feeling the need to encode my work into a format like OPML too instead of only in a service.
