There's a nasty #OpenSource #SupplyChain worm going around named Shai-Hulud. It's also capable of exposing some projects' long-lived PyPI API Tokens. Read more on what's happening, and what you can do to protect your projects.

Shai-Hulud is a great worm, not yet a snake. Attack on npm ecosystem may have implications for PyPI.

Max has been really into the 90s kids shows Julie and I used to watch. We've already rewatched every episode of Duck Tales (My #1), Animaniacs, plus the movies for each. We started Tiny Toons the other day. #cartoons #1990s

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Cardano founder calls the FBI on a user who says his AI mistake caused a chainsplit

https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=cardano-founder-calls-the-fbi
Cardano founder calls the FBI on a user who says his AI mistake caused a chainsplit On November 21, the Cardano blockchain suffered a major chainsplit after someone created a transaction that exploited an old bug in Cardano node software, causing the chain to split. The person who submitted the transaction fessed up on Twitter, writing, "It started off as a 'let's see if I can reproduce the bad transaction' personal challenge and then I was dumb enough to rely on AI's instructions on how to block all traffic in/out of my Linux server without properly testing it on testnet first, and then watched in horror as the last block time on explorers froze." Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, responded with a tweet boasting about how quickly the chain recovered from the catastrophic split, then accused the person of acting maliciously. "It was absolutely personal", Hoskinson wrote, adding that the person's public version of events was merely him "trying to walk it back because he knows Hoskinson's decision to involve the FBI horrified some onlookers, including one other engineer at the company who publicly quit after the incident. They wrote, "I've fucked up pen testing in a major way once. I've seen my colleagues do the same. I didn't realize there was a risk of getting raided by the authorities because of that + saying mean things on the Internet."

Ingress NGINX is being retired in March 2026 (~100 days). Are you ready to migrate to a new Ingress controller? kubernetes.io/blog/2... #Kubernetes #nginx #ingress #k8s
Ingress NGINX Retirement: What You Need to Know | Kubernetes
To prioritize the safety and security of the ecosystem, Kubernetes SIG Network and the Security Response Committee are announcing the upcoming retirement of Ingress NGINX. Best-effort maintenance will continue until March 2026. Afterward, there will be no further releases, no bugfixes, and no updates to resolve any security vulnerabilities that may be discovered. Existing deployments of Ingress NGINX will continue to function and installation artifacts will remain available. We recommend migrating to one of the many alternatives.
