The Python Security Response Team membership is now public with a documented nomination process 🥳
My impression is that maintainers of vibecoded opensource initiatives are starting to find out that they've done a speedrun into an understaffed legacy codebase full of technical debt.
Vibe Coding Is Killing Open Source Software, Researchers Argue
‘If the maintainers of small projects give up, who will produce the next Linux?’
Vibe Coding Is Killing Open Source.
According to a new study from a team of researchers in Europe, vibe coding is killing open-source software (OSS) and it’s happening faster than anyone predicted.

🌟 Introducing BSD.cafe 🌟
Excited to present the first building block of the BSD Cafe project! When I registered this domain months ago, I envisioned a themed bar where we can casually chat about *BSD systems, Linux, and Open-Source technology among friends, acquaintances, and patrons. But like any bar, discussions can cover a wide range of topics while respecting everyone.
BSD.cafe will be a hub for various tools and services, powered by *BSD.
The first brick is a new Mastodon instance, a gateway to the Fediverse. Registration is open, and the server will be moderated under clear guidelines promoting good behavior and zero tolerance for hate towards anyone. Inclusivity, respect, and constructive dialogue are the key values of this new instance.
The main server is currently hosted in Finland on a small VM, based on #FreeBSD. Services are divided into VNET jails, connected in a LAN via a local bridge. A VPN system is also present and have been able to move individual jails to different, more powerful, machines.
Multimedia data and cache are hosted on another physical server (FreeBSD, within a jail), with Cloudflare in front. The aim is to cache and geodistribute data, reducing network traffic on the main VPS.
Reverse proxy (frontend), mail server, media server, and the instance itself are reachable via #ipv6.
The instance started empty. No unnecessary content was pre-loaded; I want it to grow organically based on users' interests and following. There won't be any preemptive blocks at this stage. Users are encouraged to promptly report anything they find worth flagging.
Join us at https://mastodon.bsd.cafe to build a constructive and inclusive community—a safe and relaxing space for everyone.
Our wiki, located at https://wiki.bsd.cafe, features essential links and articles related to the BSD world. It provides an overview of the tools, services, rules, uptime, and more information about the BSD Cafe Services.
A Matrix server, a Miniflux RSS Reader, the Wiki itself, and the BlendIT Lemmy instance are all part of the BSD Cafe services, with more to come.

"Damit verändert sich auch, was ein Open-Source-Projekt überhaupt ist. Es wird nicht mehr als sozio-technisches Gefüge wahrgenommen, in dem Code, Dokumentation, Community und Finanzierung aufeinander bezogen sind, sondern als bloßer Datenlieferant für nachgelagerte Systeme. Das Projekt wird unsichtbar, während seine Produkte weiter zirkulieren."

In recent months I've started to receive more and more PRs for my OSS projects with very detailed explanations of the code changes (including the tests). Most of them are in pretty much the same format, and of course it's quite easy to guess how they were produced... Especially knowing how very few peopled bothered to write anything close to such details in the past... :-)
