Remediating thousands of untracked security vulnerabilities in #nixpkgs
Through vendoring, many packages in #nixpkgs end up including obsolete and vulnerable versions of their dependencies. This is especially prevalent for #Rust, #Go, #JavaScript, #Java and #DotNET software using strict lockfiles. How bad is the current situation really? What can #nixpkgs contributors do to improve it?

I've finished up writing subtitles for my second talk earlier this year at #FOSDEM. You can watch it now with subtitles on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RkM34IJIig (or watch it on the FOSDEM website where it's been available since February)

You would never know there is a statue of a little boy peeing behind me in my new profile photo, but you are reading this so… now you know!

A quick summary of FOSDEM 2024 and the very productive Hackathon we had right afterwards!

> There is a lot coming up, you can expect to read more in blog posts and merge requests in the next weeks and months. That being said, we wanted to share some of the highlights, especially for the people supporting us. Without you, this would have been significantly harder to organise.

Compared to last year, we decided to do the podcast inside the cafeteria instead of outside, and on Sunday instead of Saturday. Twice the amount of FOSDEM days to talk about, and with more people talking in the background. Enjoy!

My #FOSDEM talk has been released!
It's about the @TinyGo smartwatch that I've been working on, including how I made testing the firmware as simple as "go run" and how I've made the display as fast as I could.

I've posted my progress on Mastodon so if you're curious just take a look at my older posts.

Diese Woche fanden mit der #FOSDEM und dem #CfgMgmtCamp gleich zwei Konferenzen statt. Wir waren für euch vor Ort und besprechen in der neuen #FocusOnLinux Episode die Highlights:

It was incredible spending time with so much of the @conservancy / @outreachy team at #fosdem2024. @ElegantTolly, your selfie game is strong! w/ @anna, @pono, @sphakos, Bradley and Tracy

since it's half a week ago now i can finally spill the beans and get cancelled

my #fosdem2024 highlight was definitely when @cwebber went through the lower hall of building H on sunday afternoon, and walked right past @Gargron and the Mastodon stand

My #FOSDEM #FOSDEM2024 talk

Desktop Linux as easy as a smartphone – Just in a Snap!

(in the Distributions devroom) made it into #Phoronix

Usual complaining about #Snap in the comments ...

The majority of Macs in #fosdem #FOSDEM2024 was kind of sad, There were a fair representation of Think pads but not the amount that I expected.

This #FOSDEM2024 was my 10 year anniversary (or fosdiversary if you will) and I celebrated it by getting more involved, helping organise @FosdemResearch , and giving my first talk!
Looking forward to next year #FOSDEM 25th anniversary, and where I'll be in another 10 years

Unfortunately I don't own a 2014 @fosdem t-shirt as I was a noob back then and didn't know what I was doing (and I was probably very hungover for my first time FOSDEMing)

I gave a talk at #fosdem #fosdem2024.

Video and slides are now available:
