Why settle for one AI agent when you can deploy 250+ specialized ones? 🤔⚙️

HexStrike AI v7.0 is leveling up: streamlined setups, Docker support, deep JavaScript runtime analysis, and 40% memory optimization. It bridges GPTs to tools like Nmap & Ghidra for cutting-edge automated pentesting. #AI #Cybersecurity

I tried a GitHub Copilot PR review as it's been ages since I last did.

It was wrong on 3 out of 3 suggestions it made:

1. It suggested inverting the IP ACL and API key check such that it'd have allowed anyone to purge anything from our CDN cache
2. It said I'd got some basic logic wrong (I hadn't) on 1 of ~20 changes of the same type (var not set or var == "" -> strlen(var) == 0)
3. It made up a service name and wanted me to use that

What a pile of shit.

I hope a whole bunch of people don't just create a few new #GitHub accounts each and upload several gigabytes of completely random data to it because that would be a really mean thing to do and I could never endorse something like that.

I maxed out my #github actions minutes.

One Action was stuck. The billing isn't great, and apparently you cannot buy more minutes. No usage alerts, no indication even that something is stuck.

So for the next 10 days my open source projects have no CI. :(

GitHub: TypeScript wird immer beliebter, Java hingegen fällt ab

Wie jedes Quartal visualisiert GitHub im Innovation Graph die Aktivitäten der Mitglieder. In Q1 2025 gab es Veränderungen in den sonst stabilen oberen Plätzen.

Oh shit, Gists. I forgot about gists. There are 149 of these to go through, that's gonna take forever (and probably break some old links). Oh well. Moving off of GitHub entirely even if it kills me.

Why write multi-line shell scripts to manage Kubernetes when you can use Cypher-inspired queries? 🤔✨

Cyphernetes simplifies operations like deleting non-running pods:
```cypher
MATCH (p:Pod)
WHERE p.status.phase != "Running"
DELETE p;
```
Readable, relational, and efficient. #Kubernetes #DevOps

I've written up full instructions on hosting your own website using the open source Chobble Template, at example.chobble.com/instructio

It doesn't require any technical ability, or for you to edit a single line of code - you just need to sign up for Github and Neocities, and click buttons and copy text into boxes.

It's based on #Eleventy and comes with neat features like:

- Pages, news, products, categories, galleries, team members, events, and menus
- Contact forms via Formspark with Botpoison spam protection
- Tiered, easily expanded navigation
- Built in theme editor
- Responsive image resizing
- Mobile friendly design by default
- Near-perfect Lighthouse scores
- JSON-LD built in
- Stripe button support
- Loads more stuff I can't remember

If you'd like to host your own web presence, free from the reach of big tech, but have been scared of the techy bits - fear no more! The Chobble Template is here to make all that stuff easy peasy.

Please check it out and let me know how you get on!

Just left the Radiant CMS org on #GitHub as I continue removing stuff and preparing to delete my account. This project hasn't been active for years, and I don't even like Ruby, but it was the very first Open Source project I contributed to and the fact that they gave me repo access so quickly was probably one of the big reasons I got into open source in the first place. This one hurts a lot.

I have now also converted my remaining personal open source Git repositories (those which we don't already host at the institute's #Gitlab instance and which are not forked from or contribution to others) from #Github to #codeberg codeberg.org/rmayr

Github was a great improvement to make open source contributions and coordination easier, and it's a shame that the current AI hype drives everything into a single, non-sustainable niche direction... While Github is dependent on Microsoft AI stuff, my repositories are archived and will not see any further changes - I might even delete them altogether.
