I wonder who I know that knows someone at HackerOne that can convey the message that PyPI explicitly disallows security research packages, and bans users who upload them. Put that in a notice to your users somewhere prominent - since it's become pervasive and a drain on resources.
This also takes time away from legitimate security incident response - so it's a net negative for the world.
@jonafato When people see my bag though they already think it is a comically large bag, so I really need to be slimming down not building out. 😢
@jonafato Is the travel pillow for the plane? Which one did you get? I have not found any of the ones I've tried to be a game changer for me.

I think from now on every time I see a "YouTube face" thumbnail with some clickbait nonsense title, I'm going to click and bounce immediately. From my understanding this hurts the algorithm ranking more than my normal strategy of not clicking at all.
Real reason it took so long to complete the Sagrada Familia: architect wanted to be long dead before any architecture certificate critics could use the line, "Gaudí? More like gaudy"

You still have several hours left to nominate someone as a PSF Fellow for Q2 of 2026 https://www.python.org/psf/fellows/

I'm giving a lighting talk about gh-profiler this evening. If you've been curious about it, come to the lightning talk session at 5:45!

Look, last-minute Łukasz at #pyconus reporting here that there is a last-minute talk on Sunday at 2:30pm worth attending!
PEP 810 co-author Brittany Reynoso will be talking about lazy imports!
This talk reminds me of these gorgeous floppy disks I got from https://pizzelpodcast.com
There's a long and interesting story behind these, but each of those disks has an hour-long podcast on it.
One of them also has an audio player for the format that the podcast is encoded in, plus a 15-minute bonus podcast, plus some extras.
It is seriously impressive. I'm planning to have them framed.
Really shocked that flask and all its dependencies fits on a floppy disk TBH. Not even remotely surprised that @psobot gave yet another amazing tal...
Can't believe there is a laser cats themed slide here and I chose the wrong loud Hawaiian shirt to wear today!

I'm super excited to talk about the Rust for CPython project at 1:45PM today in Room 103ABC.
Hope to see you there!
Apparently there is a Hot Topic across the street from #pyconus
I don't think I would have predicted in the 90s that Hot Topic would outlast Radio Shack.
