What is a CVE? 🤔 If you're a developer, you may be hearing this term a lot more in the last few months. What are they, and how are they classified? Learn all about it in this short video: youtube.com/shorts/coaY2...

I'm co-organizing an #MLA2027 panel on Public Humanities in the Undergraduate Classroom -- please submit & spread the word! Happy to answer questions. Abstracts due March 20 @modernlanguage.bsky.social mla.confex.com/mla/2027/web...

How does DH travel outside the academy? What impact and what careers do DH skills enable? CFP for our next excellent (and necessary) book in the DDH series, edited by Jeanelle Horcasitas, @lisaironcutter.bsky.social, and @kallewesterling.bsky.social dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/page/cfp-dh-...

Consider submitting an abstract to this volume by March 15! Eds @kallewesterling.bsky.social, @lisaironcutter.bsky.social, & Jeanelle Horcasitas. dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/page/cfp-dh-...

A lot has been happening in the digital humanities and the university. My colleagues @kallewesterling.bsky.social, Jeanelle Horcasitas, and I are interested in having a broader discussion and debate on DH outside of the ivory tower CFP is open through March 15 dhdebates.gc.cuny.edu/page/cfp-dh-...

Syllabus time. Computational Humanities from Debates in DH series is OA! Co-eds with @dmimno.bsky.social Jessica Marie Johnson. Articles from @dbamman.bsky.social @kmcdono.bsky.social @roopikarisam.bsky.social @bschmidt.bsky.social @barbaramcgilli.bsky.social @quinnanya.me @tharsen.bsky.social 👇🏼

If you missed my presentation last week about @chainguard.dev OS on the Raspberry Pi for zero-CVE maker projects, no worries: I put all the info together with the session video in this page, so you can check it out at your own pace: edu.chainguard.dev/software-sec...

Forbidden agentic techniques by @patric.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy at #ainativedevcon Of course no AI talk is complete without a reference to Saussure @cunyenglish.bsky.social

Announcing our new Dockerfile Converter course! Happy to share what I've been working on this month at @chainguard.dev 🎉 youtube.com/shorts/yjP5Z...

CANOE You capsized on the Allegheny, drenching wet in the bitter dark with the violinist. Did I come to Pennsylvania to die? you asked, incredulous. For you, water is home: the Adriatic, the Navigli, the Hudson. Merrily down the stream, we are such stuff as a dream. www.newyorker.com/humor/shouts...

Yesterday's #ByteSizedPedagogy chat with @lisaironcutter.bsky.social and @plach.bsky.social was inspiring and enriching. We're taking a break in July but we'll be back in August with more sessions. Drop me a line or fill out the form to join the list for updates! forms.gle/uh66msjsaKqu...

One last ICYMI for our #ByteSizedPedagogy tomorrow with @plach.bsky.social and @lisaironcutter.bsky.social. Discussing failure in digital pedagogy tomorrow, June 24th at 1:00 ET. Registration info below. See you then!

Previous announcement was buried in thread so to pull it out here - Our next #ByteSizedPedagogy session is “On Failure” with @plach.bsky.social and @lisaironcutter.bsky.social June 24th at 1:00 ET. Registration info below - cal.lib.virginia.edu/event/14655973

If you ever wanted an easier way to migrate your current Dockerfiles to use @chainguard.dev container images, this is for you! We just released Dockerfile Converter (dfc), an open source tool created to streamline your migration process. Check out my demo video! youtu.be/CJea45r3tNU?...

New CFP from JITP on Minimalist Digital Pedagogy. Due June 15th. cuny.manifoldapp.org/read/jitp-ca...

Short intro on using CHPs to assess the security of your container images. youtu.be/9x2MkE76qj8 You can find the CHPs spec at: github.com/chps-dev/chps And the scoring tool at: github.com/chps-dev/chp...

Want to see how secure your container images are? Try out the CHPs scorer. Here's a run on an example Python project that's pretty typical of what you find in the wild.

[email protected] talking through what could be improved in terms of container security profiles, introducing CHPs, a framework to think through your container security posture github.com/chps-dev/chps

Get more details on CHPs here www.chainguard.dev/unchained/ev...

Dustin Kirkland from @chainguard.bsky.social is live on The Kube talking container image security and the CHPs specification. #kubecon

Yash Sharma of @digitalocean.com and @yashpimple.bsky.social of @chainguard.dev discuss the importance of baking security into your cloud native projects #cloudnativeuniversity #kubecon

Yo dawg, i heard you like kubecon, so you can submit a cfp for kubecon while at kubecon. kubecon.

As #monkigras draws to a close, I did my best to gather all the speakers @monkchips.com invited to speak as a BlueSky List: bsky.app/profile/did:... Find the folks you want to follow and keep up with!

Continuing w the ongoing unofficial #MonkiGras theme of Eras, @chrisjrn.fyi providing a history of open source. Really appreciate this approach, as it reveals throughlines.

[email protected] reminds us that it’s easy to misattribute hard work to luck, especially for those who are of marginalized backgrounds who often have to work harder than others to get where they are #MonkiGras

The eras tour of @alex.zenla.io and her journey into tech, highlighting how open source is a way for under resourced people to get involved in technology —#MonkiGras

The majority of unpaid hobbyists in open source are solo - 67% - according to the 2024 Tidelift Report @miketheman.com #MonkiFest

Security incidents and CVEs are often found *because* the code is open source Security in open source is often done in good faith, and with the expectation that solo and hobbyist maintainers will be able to identify and mitigate issues @miketheman.com #MonkiFest

Knowing your *why* is critical - your volunteer work will take as much time as you give it When contributing to software, putting your “why” in code commits, documentation, etc. to help others understand why something is important and why you are doing given work @miketheman.com #MonkiFest

Maintainers, contributors, & users devote their most precious resource (time) to open source - it’s important to know a project will have longevity Some considerations: * CLAs more likely to result in relicensing vs DCOs * Neutral foundations * Governance representing multiple orgs #MonkiGras

The relicensing of open source projects have been among the rug pulls that have resulted in forks of those projects, explains @emilyfoster.bsky.social OpenTofu being an example of this collective action, which was created under a neutral foundation #MonkiGras

How is open source power like medieval feudalism? Companies with more power can pull the rug out from the rest of us resulting in disruptions @geekygirldawn.bsky.social talks about how directions can change quickly, from company strategy changes to acquisitions to companies closing

[email protected] kicked off #MonkiGras with questions about how AI can actually push people towards creativity through overcoming the blank page and giving us more time to dedicate to creativity Importantly, how does creativity intersect with productivity, and why isn’t creativity studied more?

Digital media makes us want to retain everything (how many photos are on your phone?) but weeding is crucial in systems just as it is in gardening. Libraries also are constantly taking stock of their collection and removing holdings @alexwlchan.bsky.social #MonkiGras

The Second talk is Alex Chan with "Lessons Learned from Building to Last" with different examples. The first is Metaswitch, and the napkin from 1989 that runs the internet, aka BGP. - @monkigras.com

Some lessons learned from libraries and archives for sustainability in tech, @alexwlchan.bsky.social speaks about @wellcomecollection.bsky.social and centuries-long thinking, including not hoarding code and the burden of endless computing #MonkiGras

For anyone who attended yesterday's Learning Labs: I recorded the presentation and it's now up on YouTube, so you can watch it at your own pace. We're also scheduling a new live session for next Thursday (27), details coming soon!

Just a few days left! Join me for a fun event on container security and Minecraft ❤️ let's slay those CVEs!

🚨🚨CFP alert!🚨🚨 So excited to be co-editing this special issue of JITP on minimalist pedagogy broadly construed w/ Patricia Belen, @veritas44.bsky.social, @palermog.bsky.social, @danicasavonick.bsky.social . Lots more information in the CFP. Happy to chat further if anyone has interest.

When following a tutorial and coming to a code block, do you prefer to first get the TL;DR of what the code is going to do, and after that the actual code, or do you prefer to see the code first, and only get the explanation afterwards? #documentation

Hire @scottbot.bsky.social !

I wrote about how I built a zero-CVE Minecraft server using @chainguard.bsky.social 's Java JRE image. This was super fun to build, and we had a great time playing together last Friday! Consider giving this a try if you want to set up your own Minecraft server! www.chainguard.dev/unchained/gu...

I wrote an open access personal history of HASTAC.org (NSF calls us "the world's first and oldest academic social network"--older than Facebook!) Please share! 6 "Lessons" apply to any organization (#1: Learn from your detractors but don't let them stop you.") www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Does anyone know a software that highlights your cursor and clicks when recording the screen? Needs to work on Ubuntu

If you love Java and would like to help other Java devs, we would like to hear from you! ☕️ job-boards.greenhouse.io/chainguard/j...

You can improve application security significantly just by being aware of compiler flags. This short video dives into the FORTIFY_SOURCE flag and demos the sort of issues it can catch. This was a fun one to put together! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wGF...

First pull request of 2025, it can still feel like magic ✨
