" #Dependencycooldowns are a free, easy, and incredibly effective way to mitigate the large majority of open source #supplychain attacks. More individual projects should apply cooldowns (via tools like Dependabot and Renovate) to their dependencies, and packaging ecosystems should invest in first-class support for cooldowns directly in their #packagemanagers "

🎁📦 Oh, look! Another riveting exposé on the perils of package managers overheating in the wild, wild west of software ecosystems. Let's pause to applaud the profound proposal of a global cooldown period—because who doesn't want their software updates to feel like waiting for their coffee to cool? ☕🔄

🫰 Open source package repositories face sustainability crisis
｢ So Maven and other open source repositories are considering introducing a tiered payment system. Lone developers and small groups will still be able to download the code for free, but the hogs will have to pay for every download. In other words, open source software is still free as in speech, but you can forget about being "free as in beer" going forward. ｣

You have to be shitting me. God I fucking hate npm.
I literally spent an hour trying to diagnose why the builder was "freezeing" for several minutes, and it's because it downloads thousands of packages for a project with... 20 dependencies.
Fuck NPM. Fuck JavaScript.

Oh joy, another ✨ revolutionary ✨ tool to make generating OS images more complicated than assembling IKEA furniture without instructions. It's like #systemd decided to throw a party and invited all the package managers just to remind us that #Linux enthusiasts can never have too many ways to reinvent the wheel. 🚴♂️💨

Also:
Dear Devs,
If you're making a package/module manager and it has a "sorry, we can't satisfy all dependencies" error then maybe think about adding a "please explain why" option and not just a "force" option?
Regards,
SysAdmins and Devs

Ah, removing tensorflow 'solves' the issue.
Another another reason why `transformers` -- and Python packaging as a whole -- sucks.
venv (virtual environments) are not a solution either: in multi-user environments with limited disk space, you can't afford like 4 copies of 1.5GB Tensorflow/PyTorch/etc installed.
Why python packages like these are this massive in the first place is beyond me.
Something has to change here.

The #CloudNative landscape is thriving, but a crucial aspect remains missing: a robust package management system.

I cpuld use some help about #PackageManagers for #windows
I could use #KeePassXC and other stuff
Should I install #Chocolatey ?
I could use some help with that too

Package managers as verbs.
“Just #winget it.” Works well.
“Just #scoop it.” Great.
“Just chocoloco… chocalaca… choco lately?” I can’t even pronounce it.
“Just apt-get it.” The apt part is a little harsh, but overall not bad.
“Just #pacman it.” Meh.
“Just #flatpak it.” Pretty good.
“Just #homebrew it.” Maybe confusing, but sounds nice.
“Just #adb it.” Nuh.#Linux #Windows #MacOS #Android #CLI #PackageManagers #aptget #chocolatey

But as with anything, it's never easy and more of a people problem. The technology is there and widely employed by package managers such as dpkg, pacman, apk, etc...
It just never was an issue, as you'd spend more time compiling anyway. -

@briankrebs Interestingly they don't use #IFPS or #BitTorrent because the former's #Gateways - like #Tor2Web for #OnionServices - will literally deny-list known bad actors, and #BitTorrent isn't natively supported in shitty OSes susceptible to this crap due to lack of #PackageManagers - like #Windows and #macOS...

@f00fc7c8 I know...
Personally, I think good #PackageManagers that do #DependencyResolution like #apt and #yum / #dnf are essential to maintainable distros, even if I do violate that concept with #OS1337 for the sake of simplicity as #embedded #linux #distro.

Hey #Canonical. Stop trying to make everything a #Snap. #Snaps suck. Nobody wants them and we've already moved to #Flatpaks and #AppImages. Stop forcing your agenda on us.

Excited to work with @sammy and PG321 (not on Mastodon) on the #unicornpkg package remote spec! The current (unspecified) implementation is utter garbage.

@nicklockwood yes.
#Linux in general doesn't as there are system-wide #PackageManagers to handle dependencies.
Regardless if deb [apt], rpm [yum], python [pip], (node)JS [npm], and even if you want to just dump an app onto a machine onto a machine there's #flatpak and #snap to help you along and for really lazy people there's .AppImage as self-contained executeable or the old #tarball where you put all stuff into a folder.
Tho people like @fuchsiii will point at #docker to make like easier.
