I made a Classical Chinese Poetry Bingo to help people recognize the common tropes and motifs.🤣 These show up frequently in the modern poetry I translate as well. Do you recognize anything from your readings or from pop culture? Tag yourself. I'm "feeling sad on a boat" lol

New post: harihareswara.net/posts/2024/t… Whether And How To Trust A New Maintainer
What kind of trust does a project #maintainer need to have in a new co-maintainer? To get better at #opensource #sustainability, we need to improve at recruiting, training, & promoting new leaders.
I cover attributes to check for.
I mine 4 comparable situations for assessment ideas, & explain how to reduce how much trust you NEED to give by promoting someone.
&: 3 options if you're low on time
How should we think about trust when it comes to adding new maintainers to a project? Another way of saying that is: if I'm an existing project maintainer, considering whether to entrust you with co-maintainership, … | Cogito, Ergo Sumana | Blog by S…Cogito, Ergo Sumana

The following bit, not strictly related to GObject Introspection or the GNOME stack in general, stood out to me:
> Dynamic languages like Python would prefer to generate the language binding on the fly, as needed, instead of pre-generating a huge binding.
On the other hand, Python bindings for C++ libraries, and now for Rust libraries as well, tend to be large amounts of generated glue code. One infamous example on Windows is wxPython, whose binaries are about as big as those of wx itself.

So, in other words, once upon a time it was just you. One developer did all the commits. Now you have a hoard of minions doing the work for you allowing you to spend all your time doing fancy graphs instead?
And please get me right. I love curl and I am amazed on how you’ve kept it a first class product all these years. The above is not meant in any hostile way.
Uz nejakou dobu pouzivam na @wrksart klienta phanpy.social. Je hodne minimalisticky. Krade IP z pokemonu, mastodon pokemon, ha, genialni! Hodne veci mi vadi.
Ale jeho naprosta killer feature a duvod, proc si ho pro doom scrolling hudby a dalsiho umeni na WRKS necham, je vizualni oddeleni boostu od originalnich postu.
Vubec nechapu, proc to jeste nema kazdy klient. UX je uplny no-brainer. Obri timeline neskutecne zprehledni.

lines of code per known vulnerability in #curl, 1998 - 2023. I purposely leave out the last year simply because it is a little too new code there to be fair - and that makes the graph really spike.
Note also that this treats all vulns equal, no matter which severity

in reply to Frisk • • •I would rather to see a bounty to get @matrix to stop using #CaaC (Cloudflare as a Crutch) and switch to #securityByDesign. I can’t be motivated to donate to #Matrix project until it shakes free from its tech giant dependency.

in reply to The Matrix.org Foundation • • •It’s not accurate to say Matrix has no CF dependency. If that were true, the flagship instance could simply stop using CF.
To say there is no CF dependency requires the unrealistic absence of DDoS attack. /Hope/ that a server is not DDoS’d is not a sound security posture. Everyone hopes they are not attacked, and hope is easily defeated.
