Yesterday at #OSSummit I realized I'm still struggling with this question:
What is a clear "organizational contribution" to #OpenSource?
Cash or in-kind gifts are easy to understand. Things that people do, much murkier.
An organization is an attribute of a contributor, who may have affiliations with multiple orgs.
How can a #FreeSoftware project clearly understand "from which org" any given code (or non-code) contribution is really coming from?
Human brains are not that compartmentalized.

@ben0_o might I introduce you to one of my favourite planning tools?
Open source 3D planner, tons of models you can import. I've modelled most of the house now...

Today:
* Got my first ShinyR stats webapp running (only one graph for now, but at least it's interactive!)
* Mentored school kids in Scratch and Python (fully registered STEM Ambassador, AMA :P)
* Played first game in our new Charterstone legacy campaign - really good!
Satisfied me now chilling with some Path of Exile before bed. A good day.

@zhenech that's.... genius. I think. Or demonic. Not sure now ;)

@pla @fitheach it's actually freely available from the Met Office, although you have to register with the data host.
So far I've only downloaded the region around me, as I'm trying to cone with a heuristic that can say something about how good the summer of a year was, based on only rainfall and temp. It's tricky, but here's my first pass...
Gwmngilfen
@fitheach @pla I was about to say, Summer is merely on hiatus. September always has at least one decent spell in it ;)
Which reminds me, I need to get back to my weather data project. I have daily rainfall and temp data for every 5km square of the country, back to 1960. Gotta be able to do something interesting with that...

@kensanata @fitheach don't hold your breath... ;)

@fitheach @kensanata I really need to try Borg. Burp is based on librsync, so I also see occasional issues with hardlink calculations on very large filesystem's (1 million+ files, it's the main mediaserver)...

Good morning folks o/
I'm getting a slight undertone of an angry murderous rage circling the air of dot soc this morning...
Pfft, I have a new kitten and that's way more important than petty infighting :) be excellent to each other

@kungtotte @mike pretty sure you're not using Proton there... Feral ported XCOM2 a while ago, I've already finished it (and War of the Chosen) :D
Gwmngilfen
Oh. OH. I just realised that having #Proton available in the Linux Steam client means ... we can use In-Home Streaming for Wine titles now! Helloooo interesting games on crappy old laptop ....

@Floppy it's vaguely working - SHIP IT :)
(have fun at EMF, always seems fun but I'm a long way away :P)

Use Flask? Update it, like *now*:

If I'm reading this right, you can use an encoding mismatch to trick the JSON decoder into interpreting escaped quotes, etc, as actual punctuation. Think SQL injection, where the JSON decoder is the database engine. Now imagine someone sends:
`name = 'foo", \'is_root\': True, \'junk\': "'`
or similar, and instead of changing their name, you give them root access.

I have recompiled this analysis too many times already...

@mike @kungtotte just saw your report on the GitHub repo - I'm seeing the exact same behaviour. Given that it works fine in vanilla Wine (so I hear, not tried) I'm going to put money on this working eventually when Valve figure out what's going on...
Meantime, back to PoE...
