I’ve had a lot of love for Trivy over the years. I’ve used it both locally and in CI pipelines via
@github.com
Actions. Given last week’s supply chain incident, I wanted to share my own experience — and a lot of it applies to any GitHub Action, not just Trivy.

NEW: Apple said it "can no longer" offer iCloud end-to-end encryption in the UK, and turned off the option to enable it for new users in the country. The unprecedented move comes after the British government demanded a backdoor into Apple's cloud service.

When governments compel organizations to weaken security, no one wins. This compromise for Apple makes users in the U.K. less safe, and signals to other regions how to also embarrass themselves by doing the same.

Okay, so you're using Signal for encrypted messaging. Cool. It's a good time to use usernames instead of a phone number to talk to people. That and lots more about how to make the most of Signal's security features in here:

This is your reminder that DMs here are _not encrypted_. They're not even really part of ATProto. It's on the roadmap, but that's not the case now. DMs are centralized and unencrypted. Behave accordingly.

If you haven't already, head to Settings>Privacy and Security - then turn on Email 2FA. Any time you log into a new device you will be emailed a code to enter. Helps keep your account safe. (Yes email isn't great, but better than nothing)
