"cURL audit: How a joke led to significant findings"

https://blog.trailofbits.com/2023/02/14/curl-audit-fuzzing-libcurl-command-line-interface/

Oh, super nice lib, want to play around with it and make some nice map plots ://github.com/marceloprates/prett
#python

EDIT: the owner has suspended the service, stating: "indefinitely [suspended]. Valid concerns were raised and I don't have the energy to rebuild it the right way."

Will do a write-up on this later.

Original post (shortened):

====

Threadstodon is a simple and clean toll to unroll #mastodon threads into an easy-to read format

Works exactly like you expect: give the thread URL, and you get an clean and easy-to-read formatted page of the thread back, that you can also easily share as well.

I love the fact that those 2 lines from "Zen of Python" come together:

---
There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
---

We do have multiple options to deal with the same problem, but each one is the "one obvious way" for someone in the community.

If you didn't find yours, let's talk and look for it together, or even build it 🙂

#Python

I wrote a small post about how Mastodon implements the #ActivityPub layer for the Poll functionality. https://humberto.io/blog/mastodon_poll

One nice thing about implementing mastodon compatible features to #takahe, like polls support, is that once you get the base working, you have a lot of clients that are able to render it 🙂

Just saw there are already 39 Fediverse servers powered by @takahe, at least according to https://takahe.fediverse.observer/stats

Not bad for a project that first released less than 2.5 months ago!

🛹 Slidev finally got built-in slide transitions in v0.39.0! - something I wanted so much since the beginning!

Thanks a lot to @posva and https://github.com/tonai for making this possible!

Hi folks. Have you run across anything awesome in the #python space that I haven't recently discussed on @pythonbytes? Looking for another topic for the show next week.

#Fedilab 3.16.2 has been published in prod.

Added:
- Peertube support
- Compose shortcut
- Long press compose button to write with another account
- Edit description and focus for media (for the next Mastodon release)

Changed:
- Cross actions with two accounts display a dialog
- Order & compact og values when sharing > title - url - content
- Tap on top message (user info) open threads

Fixed:
- Text cleared when adding a media
- Fix Maths not working with quotes
- Fix crashes

I've had the idea for a weird kind of Twitter client for years. With Mastodon being all open, I've decided to do the experiment:

What if your Timeline looked like iMessage. A normal timeline confuses me to no end because everything is out of context.

My experiment, Ebou, is a Mastodon client that looks like iMessage. Conversations are grouped by friends and sorted by recent postings.

It is super basic right now, but this already feels much more natural to me 😀

"Thoughts on the Python packaging ecosystem"

A new blog post, with some of my thoughts on the state of Python packaging ecosystem.

https://pradyunsg.me/blog/2023/01/21/thoughts-on-python-packaging/

Came across interesting Python library today: `deprecated`.

It provides a decorator to mark your functions as deprecated,
and even has Sphinx docs support for adding deprecated, versiondadded, and versionchanged directives! 😲

Excellent little article about HTTP content negotiation and drop-throughs: https://csvbase.com/blog/2

Along with today's Takahē release, I've written up a bit more technical detail about some of the things we tackled in this release: https://aeracode.org/2023/01/16/takahe-07/

I want to show my appreciation to the people behind @elk for fixing its incompatability with @takahe impressively quickly, as well as just building a nice client. I've put in a few more endpoints we were missing so it works quite well for the basics now!
