By default, when you select the write:packages scope for your personal access token (classic) in the user interface, the repo scope will also be selected. The repo scope offers unnecessary and broad access, which we recommend you avoid using for GitHub Actions workflows in particular. For more information, see Secure use reference. As a workaround, you can select just the write:packages scope for your personal access token (classic) in the user interface with this url: https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=write:packages.

🀦 to log into github's docker registry, you need a "classic" API token. But when you check "write:packages" it enables a bunch of other permissions. You can't uncheck those. But you can use a special URL.

Screams "we have a security team with no agency" imho

EU is following suit pretty soon, and with the way things are going with Visa/Mastercard vs Steam/itch.io, I wouldn't be surprised if something similar came to the US

what if OFCOM's age verification stuff, which is driving everyone to learn about VPNs, accidentally kills YouTube, whose creators rely on sponsored segments from VPN companies, which might end up not really needing advertisement anymore? that would be something

Recorded an episode of @sdr-podcast.com with @fasterthanli.me recently, and honestly tbh at this point I feel like this is the best summary of the state they are at with the whole thing.

Today on @sdr-podcast.com, I IMMEDIATELY whiff a pop culture reference (confusing Bane and Littlefinger).

Also: a deep dive from @fasterthanli.me into modern image + video formats, and understanding how to think about modern formats like av1/avif/webp/jxl and more!

I've been going through a rough patch the past couple months β€” fiddling with meds, trying to find something that works, and mostly failing for now. it's hard to get out of bed in the morning right now, let alone perform at my usual level. it might get better, not sure when.
