Could someone on @securitylab.github.com's GHSA team please look at these PRs to remove duplicate GHSA entries? It's been a week and I'm still waiting.

Also this one which was contested:

#github #ghsa
Remove duplicate `camaleon_cms` advisory by postmodern · Pull Request #5622 · github/advisory-database
GHSA-3hp8-6j24-m5gm appears to be the exact same advisory as GHSA-7x4w-cj9r-h4v9, but with slightly different formatting and no CVSS metadata.

When is ruby-3.5.0-preview2 scheduled to be released? Apparently the cgi library is going to be partially removed in 3.5.0-preview2, but is still present in 3.5.0-preview1.

Where do you (or should you) put the code used for code generation within a library? Obviously cannot put it in `lib/`, because this code is only meant to be used internally to generate the code in `lib/`.

Hashtags > Feeds. The concept of Feeds for a topic on #BlueSky are broken. There's no way to filter out off-topic posts from Feeds and I keep seeing random fan-art accounts show up in the largest CyberSec / InfoSec Feed.

Lazy Rails: how do you define String based/backed Enums in ActiveRecord 7.x? Appears that by giving an explicit mapping of Hash{Symbol => String}, this causes an ArgumentError where it incorrectly tries to define the same `enum_value?` method twice.

Is there a way to flag or request that an account be removed from a BlueSky Feed? Just noticed a Sonic the Hedgehog-themed shitpost account in the largest Cyber Security / InfoSec feed. Yay, how about no.

I'm curious what other Rubyists/Railists are using for setting up external/backend API servers (aka micro-services or macro-services)? How are you managing authentication between the app and the external API?

How are people running their tests on GitHub Actions as *non-root* users? I have tests that specifically test when a given directory is writable and not writable. Running the tests as a privileged root user makes *everything* writable and thus breaks some tests.

Finally added Ruby 3.4 to Ronin's CI and am getting bitten by base64 and csv load issues, due to them no longer being "default gems" but now just "bundled gems". Ruby code can still require these files just fine, but Bundler is excluding them. Must we really add these gems to gem's gemspecs?

This Reddit post showing off Async Ruby's performance against Python, Node.js, and Go is making the rounds.
www.reddit.com/r/ruby/comme...

Also worth noting that ronin-recon also uses Async Ruby for it's custom recursive recon engine.
github.com/ronin-rb/ron...

#ruby #roninrb #infosec #recon
From the ruby community on Reddit: Ruby Falcon is 2x faster than asynchronous Python, as fast as Node.js, and slightly slower than Go. Moreover, the Ruby code doesn’t include async/await spam.

Oooh, this is a great point! `yay rust` + `ruby-install 3.3` later…

BlueSky Feature Request: it should be possible to follow a hashtag or add a hashtag to a List. Mastodon has this feature and it was primarily written by some guy in Germany in his free time. Why doesn't BlueSky, with millions in VC funding, not have this feature yet?

BlueSky Feature Request: make it possible to switch to viewing the posts from a List directly from the home page, without having to click on Lists then select the individual List. It should be possible to switch to viewing a List in one mouse click from the home page.

BlueSky Feature Request: allow adding someone to a List, but only show their posts if they contain certain keywords. This would allow a user to filter out off-topic posts from another user who occasionally posts interesting on-topic posts.
