Open infrastructure isn't free. 🌱
Packagist/Composer signed a joint
OpenSSF letter with PyPI, crates, Maven, CPAN, etc on real cost of running package registries.
Packagist needs to finance staff, not just hardware and bandwidth. Contact me if your company's interested in joining our sponsorship program for its launch this month while we work on long term solutions.

Great overview of security pitfalls in GitHub Actions that should be required viewing for anyone working with GHA by @nprofile…sp92 - read the detailed slides at https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-6543-hunting-for-github-actions-bugs-with-zizmor/ #FOSDEM

After the panel on "when are AI systems free/open" at #FOSDEM I struggle to see why we don't just equate ML/training to compilers. They take data (source code for compiler, corpus for AI) and turn them into a decision making program (machine code for compiler, weights for AI model). Clearly a program doesn't become open source by distributing it in binary form/weights, and a whole AI system can only be open source if all of its components are: compiler (ML/training process) and program (model)?

Wrote down my thoughts on PHP Property Hooks added in 8.4 - ironically while I am a fan of the feature I think of it as a kind of insurance, you're best off if you don't need it at all - https://blog.naderman.de/2024/12/12/php-property-hooks-a-cost-of-change-insurance/
