You can’t trust the stars on GitHub — I just learned that. Like on other social networks, stars can be bought on GitHub. This creates the misleading impression that a piece of software is especially popular and trustworthy. Unfortunately, this tactic appears to be frequently used to spread malware.

Although Randy Bias’s article, titled “Avoiding a Geopolitical Open Source Apocalypse”, is a bit dated — it was published in October 2024 — it remains relevant. The piece appears on thenewstack.io and provides useful food for thought about cooperation between East and West for a shared, secure open-source ecosystem. Some think that open source software is generally more secure, but is it? Open source software mainly made in the West has well-documented security issues of its own, due in part to its heavy reliance on overworked and volunteer maintainers. Securing open source software requires time, energy and diligence. Unfortunately, many projects are very thinly resourced and lack the expertise required to look for security risks diligently. ...
I recently came across an interesting Bookmarklet bei Nicolas. It’s meant to make link-blogging easier for anyone with a GitHub-hosted blog. The script isn’t perfect yet, but it inspired me to develop it further. Here’s my version of the bookmarklet (function() { // Funktion zum Erstellen eines "Slug" aus einem Text const slugify = text => { let str = text.toString(); // Den Text als Zeichenkette behandeln str = str.replaceAll("/", " "); // Schrägstriche (/) durch Leerzeichen ersetzen str = str.normalize("NFD"); // Unicode normalisieren (diakritische Zeichen trennen) str = str.replace(/[^\w\s-]+/g, ""); // Sonderzeichen entfernen (außer Buchstaben, Zahlen, Leerzeichen, Bindestriche) str = str.toLowerCase(); // In Kleinbuchstaben umwandeln str = str.replace(/\s+/g, " "); // Mehrere Leerzeichen auf ein einzelnes reduzieren str = str.trim(); // Führende und endende Leerzeichen entfernen str = str.replace(/ +/g, "-"); // Alle Leerzeichen durch Bindestriche ersetzen return str; // Slug zurückgeben }; // Titel der aktuellen Seite aus dem Dokument abrufen let pageTitle = window.document.title; // Falls ein Text markiert ist, diesen als "linkSelection" setzen, ansonsten leer let linkSelection = "getSelection" in window ? window.getSelection().toString().trim() : ""; // Inhalt für den Link ermitteln: // Zuerst den markierten Text verwenden, falls vorhanden, ansonsten eine Meta-Beschreibung, // oder den ersten Absatz im <main>, <article>, oder <p>-Tag let linkContent = linkSelection || window.document.querySelector("head meta[name=description]")?.content.trim() || window.document.querySelector("main p")?.textContent.trim() || window.document.querySelector("article p")?.textContent.trim() || window.document.querySelector("p")?.textContent.trim(); // Die URL der aktuellen Seite let linkUrl = window.location.href; // Eingabeaufforderung für den Link-Titel (Standardwert: Seiten-Titel) let title = window.prompt("Title of the link?", pageTitle); if (title !== null) { // Nur fortfahren, wenn der Benutzer einen Titel angegeben hat // Eingabeaufforderung für den Link-Slug (Standardwert: aus Titel generierter Slug) let slug = window.prompt("Slug of the link?", slugify(title)); if (slug !== null) { // Nur fortfahren, wenn der Benutzer einen Slug angegeben hat // Das aktuelle Datum und die Uhrzeit im ISO-Format abrufen und in lesbare Form bringen const currentDate = (new Date()).toISOString().replace("T", " ").replace(/\.\d{3}Z/, " +00:00"); // Dateiinhalt für den Blogeintrag erstellen let fileContent = `---\n` + `date: ${currentDate}\n` + `title: "${title}"\n` + `authors: "maik"\n` + `tags: []\n` + `---\n\n` + `[${title}](${linkUrl} "${title}") für ${linkUrl}\n\n` + `${linkContent ? linkContent.replaceAll("\n", "\n> ") : ""}\n`; // GitHub-URL für das Erstellen einer neuen Datei zusammenbauen let githubUrl = `https://github.com/Maik-Wi/blog/new/main/?` + `filename=${`content/notes/${currentDate.slice(0, 10)}-${slug}-index.md`}` + `&value=${encodeURIComponent(fileContent)}` + `&message=${encodeURIComponent(`New link: ${title}`)}`; // Die URL in einem neuen Fenster öffnen, sodass der Nutzer sie bei GitHub weiterbearbeiten kann window.open(githubUrl); } } })(); The text was automatically translated from German into English.

I learned something new: the repository “scarmuega/choose-your-side” explains how to define images differently for light and dark layouts on GitHub. Basically, you append ?sanitize=true#gh-light-mode-only to the image URL for the light layout and ?sanitize=true#gh-dark-mode-only for the dark layout. ## Light Theme  ## Dark Theme  The text was automatically translated from German into English.
