Tired of drafting vulnerability advisories from Git patches?
We developed patch2vuln to facilitate the creation of security advisories directly from Git patches.
With a single command, patch2vuln can assist an analyst throughout the advisory creation process: analyzing the patch, drafting the vulnerability title and description, identifying CWE and CAPEC mappings, proposing a CVSS v4.0 vector, extracting affected versions, remediation information and credits, and generating a structured CVE/GCVE record.
The analysis can run entirely locally using an LLM via Ollama, while deterministic processing is used for elements such as CVSS scoring and structured output validation.
The goal is not to replace the security analyst, but to remove much of the repetitive work and provide a solid structured draft for human review and publication.
patch2vuln v1.0 is now available as open-source software under the @gcve Lab initiative.
Thanks to David Cruciani for the tests and Jeroen Pinoy for the initial feedback.

One thing I used to hate about #OpenSource projects on GitHub was complicated the setup with dependency issues, environment conflicts, and all kinds of other problems. I used to spend days just to get something going and often ended up giving up. Now I just give #AI #agent a repo URL and ask it to set everything up. It reads the docs, figures out what it needs, installs all kinds of crap, and gets everything running so I can just try it out. lol
I've turned off pull requests from non-members for Flask, Werkzeug, Jinja, and Click this week, and have enjoyed not waking up to a fresh wave of AI junk every morning. I think I'm going to update our contributing guide to say "introduce yourself and how you use the library in chat first if you want to contribute pull requests". Sad that we had to go here, but aside from conference sprints we weren't really getting outside contribution anyway (which is also sad, but that's been the case a lot longer than AI has been around). #python #flask #opensource

Anthropic just introduced Claude Code Projects - with persistent shared memory across coding sessions and worker threads.
I think that makes another question increasingly important:
- Where should project memory actually live?
- In a conversation?
- In a database?
- In a vendor-specific memory layer?
Or in the project itself - versioned, reviewable and distributed with Git?
That's the direction I've been exploring with Keep the Why.

🤖 Et si on arrêtait de cacher que notre code est construit avec l'aide de l'IA ?
L'IA fait désormais partie du quotidien de nombreux développeurs.
Pourtant, lorsqu'on arrive sur un projet open source, il est souvent impossible de savoir comment elle a réellement été utilisée.
Pour écrire les specs ?
Pour générer le code ?
Pour faire la review ?
Et surtout : quel niveau d'expertise humaine était derrière tout ça ?
J'ai créé built with ai. pour rendre cette information explicite.
Le projet permet de générer un badge SVG à intégrer directement dans le README d'un projet, en déclarant simplement :
L'idée n'est pas de déterminer si utiliser l'IA est « bien » ou « mal ».
L'idée est beaucoup plus simple : assumer et documenter son usage.
Le projet est open source, et les contributions / retours sont évidemment les bienvenus.

FeedEcho exists because I used and loved Echofeed, the little service that cross-posted your RSS feed to Mastodon, Bluesky, and more. When it was announced that it was shutting down, I knew I would miss it, so I built a service inspired by it.
FeedEcho watches your RSS or Atom feed and sends new posts wherever you want: Mastodon, Bluesky, micro.blog, Matrix, Discord, email, or a plain webhook. Images and alt text come along, multi-image posts work on Mastodon and Bluesky.
It's open source if you want to self-host, and there's a paid hosted version at feedecho.net if you'd rather just point it at your feed and move on. Thanks, Echofeed, for the inspiration and the years of quiet, reliable service.

"The problem of open source developers not getting paid for their efforts is a persistent one in the FOSS world, and yet people and organizations are lining up to pledge money, or tokens, or both, to Omarchy.

I have given up on #programming. Cuz there was way too much mental pressure on me to tear me down(ie going unconscious).
So during this week I have attended other matters. One of which is translation #CommonVoice, a #crowdsourcing project from #mozilla, into #Achomi or more precisely, #Bandari.
The final goal is having our language in CV. Next, we'll have to collect 1k sentences.
The reason I'm doing translations single handly, is
1. There are different dialects in #Hormozgan. I speak Bandari, me friends from other regions speak #Qeshmi, #Achomi, #Bastaki and so on. I have decided to translate it meself and use Bandari only.
2. Our language hasn't got a standard writing form. People use #Naskh or Perso Arabic script. But I am doing this alone to make sure the writing style will be consistent.
Let's see how it goes.

Meanwhile I have gathered tons of offline data. And now I'm indexing them with #Yacy the #opensource #websearchengine which is also #decentralized_money
#JVM Heap memory is set to 12GiB
Meanwhile in #Marginalia Discord, Viktor:
> Wtf why is the search engine blowing up everywhere all the sudden.
He hasn't got analytics. Not even ethical ones like #Matomo or #GoatCounter. So he doesn't know what is happening. But Viktor is happy(you are, right?). We are happy. #DeGoogle your life into #FOSS!

A hammer misused is dangerous. AI, far more so. Yet among those who sense the danger — among those who feel an almost instinctive revulsion — few ask about the name.
But the name is a program. An act of power. Whoever coined it had a precise intention, and that intention is the real danger: calling the machine intelligent is meant to switch off our own intelligence.
To fight the machine without questioning the name — to accept that it is intelligent — is to start defeated. However fierce the animosity, in your heart you've already dropped your arms. To praise it without judgment is to open the door to a political program that turns the tool into a means of subjection.
Call it an Artificial Narrator instead, and you can govern it — because now you know where the danger lies: not in an intelligence it doesn't have, but in the political program hidden in the name "AI." And you can see its usefulness for what it is.

🎉 Świetna wiadomość!
Kolejny użytkownik podjął realne działanie.
Z ciekawością będę obserwował Twoje kolejne relacje z użytkownia GrapheneOS.
Dobra wiadomość: te, stare domyślne aplikacje z (Androida AOSP) niedługo zostaną zastąpione nowoczesnymi wersjami. 😊
Aplikacje GrapheneOS: PDF Viewer, Camera też mają zostać ulepszone.
Na starcie zachęcam do instalacji Accrescent – dostępny w AppStore (GrapheneOS). Póki co lista aplikacji jest jeszcze niewielka, ale niedawno ogłoszono, że wkrótce będzie ich tam więcej! Obecnie aplikacja Molly jest numerem 1. To utwardzona, wolna i otwarta wersja klienta Signal (FOSS).
Po za tym, dstępna jest cała masa świetnych aplikacji. Począwszy od galerii, klawiaturę, aplikacji do notatek, pogodynka, oglądania YouTube bez reklam.
Niemal wszytko można znaleźć na GitHub, bez korzystania z F-Droida, (ten może co najwyższej posłużyć jako wyszukiwarka). 🤣
Materiał video, może Ci się przyda.

My thoughts on Catodon.
Despite the wrongful misgivings of the lead developer and admin of Catodon's home site (catodon.rocks), I did have every intention of testing its functionality and features. Importing several thousand posts was indeed part of my testing process since I recalled a version of Sharkey where continuing to trigger multiple imports would result in an error. Since I had long ago saved many archives, I figured I was in the best position to test that on Catodon, which inherited its importer from Sharkey.
I won't deny it was nice to see many of my old posts online, especially since much of it was lost due to dog-pile nonsense and admins and mods catering to the mob. But I digress. Overall, I did want to give Catodon a full look-over, and importing was only part of my initiative.
That said, as I mentioned in my previous post, Catodon's developer appears to be well-skilled and was able to expand the functionality of Sharkey's originally limited importer.
For example, Sharkey could never process account archives, which always seemed like an odd thing to exclude. I imagine the most intuitive thing anyone looking to leave a social media site to go elsewhere would be to export their account, which I had previously done myself. Sharkey also did not account for the possibility of the original site being gone, which means importing attachments you had in your archive was useless since Sharkey didn't work with the archive directly. Catodon now has a working solution for this.
But sometimes a user may have too much media to import. If we gave every new user, for example, the option to import 5 GBs, many of those Fedi sites out there would need cash to burn. Still, you want them to be able to import their posts. Catodon now has the option to import text-only posts. Although, I did notice that if a post had a significant amount of text plus a photo, that post might not import, and I think that is something they should work on because the import should still handle the text associated with such a post. Imagine if I added a small fox photo here. It would be a shame if this post wouldn't import given the length of text I have.
Moving away from the importer, Catodon also allows you to create groups, forums, blogs, chat groups, and a lot more features than Sharkey originally had. Certainly, it has more features than Misskey has too.
Despite having a world of features, I didn't notice any lag or performance issues, at least from the front end. Perhaps sometime in the future, I may download a localized copy and explore the back-end. But at the time of this post, I have yet to do so.
The one thing the developer said that made me feel sorry for them was this: "It makes me so happy seeing people use and enjoy Catodon 😄". They don't lack enthusiasm and they don't lack skill, both of which you can admire. No, it is something else.
That said, I would still suggest people have a look.
When I brought up Sharkey recently, a few people messaged me asking for my thoughts on Catodon. The project has been around for a few years now, but you don't hear much about it. If you aren't familiar with it, Catodon is a fork of Sharkey, which is itself a fork of Misskey.
If you know me, you know I'm normally not a big fan of projects that amount to being forks of forks of other forks, all relying on each other. Too much upstream dependency can make for messy and troublesome development. It's one of the reasons why, for instance, I don't recommend Linux Mint to anyone, especially new users.
That said, to Catodon's credit — if I understand their changes correctly — they now mostly rely directly on Misskey themselves and are no longer dependent on Sharkey. That doesn't mean they've removed everything they gained from Sharkey. Rather, they are more focused on their own code alongside the direct upstream (Misskey). With that in mind, you should view it as a replacement or direct competitor to Sharkey, much like any other direct Misskey fork.
Let's address the elephant in the room. We will look at the negatives first before moving on to the positives.
Like many Misskey forks, the development is led by dramatic people. Their flagship instance, Catodon.rocks, only lists 59 active users. During the entire two days I was there, only myself and the admin posted. There is likely a good reason why they haven't grown over the past several years. My account was suspended right after I imported my posts, which included both my opinions and evidence of the bad faith behind the scam group Gaza Verified. I'll give credit where it's due. They did warn me they were about to remove my account, but didn't give me enough time to actually do anything about it. I suspected as much, since I knew they were supporters of that group.
Recall that Sharkey's development team has also been dramatic and has outright trolled people in the past. This was especially true when people got upset that, after raising money, the team used their new server to play Minecraft. They also kept the Join Sharkey website offline for over a year, which they never did get professionally redone, and then — three months after playing Minecraft — decided the server would be their personal computer under the guise of "new management."
There is a history of Misskey forks being led by some really talented people who lack the greatest personalities. That said, you don't need to be a people person to code. It would certainly help, and I wish more developers were good people, but that often isn't the case. Regardless, they have skills. The developer of Catodon was able to extend Catodon's functionality in just an hour or two simply by reading a recommendation.
In short, the developer of Catodon is highly skilled, open to constructive criticism and feedback, and both eager and willing to apply it.
