GitHub has introduced push protection for public repositories to prevent the accidental leak of secrets like API keys and tokens, which could lead to security breaches and legal issues. This feature automatically blocks commits that contain detected secrets. GitHub has now made this protection the default for all users, offering an option to remove or bypass the block for legitimate secrets. Despite the protection, users can still choose to bypass the block or disable it entirely, though GitHub recommends keeping it enabled for security. For organizations using GitHub Enterprise, adding GitHub Advanced Security can extend these protections to private repositories, enhancing security with features like secret scanning and code scanning.
For those who feel a need for a little protection, may this energy reach you. 💚 Nothing evokes Protection for me more than holly. An altar of stone, holly in three colours, and ivy. Should I have worn gloves? That would have been ideal. 😌 But I didn’t know I was making this until I started making it.
I don't think that tourism (certainly the sort where you get off ships to go out on smaller boats or on land) should be allowed in Antarctica. It’s far too fragile and precious. I’ve been asked to go on a two week cruise to talk to paying customers about the science there and just the idea of participating in all that makes me feel sick. #ocean#protection#Earth

Most has heard of #cracking: Removing or bypassing software #protection. But how does one crack a game? @h0ffman shows the process in this pair of VODs of twitch streams. The catch? He’s cracking 30 year old games using period accurate gear and tools:

Crossbenchers and Bridget Archer call for David McBride to be pardoned.
A group of 29 federal crossbenchers and Tasmanian Liberal MP Bridget Archer have written a letter to the Albanese government calling for it to request a full #pardon for jailed military lawyer #DavidMcBride.
On Tuesday, McBride was sentenced to prison for five years and eight months for taking classified defence documents about the war in Afghanistan from his former employer, the Australian defence force, and leaking them to ABC journalists.
The documents formed the basis for the ABC investigative series, The Afghan Files, which revealed #warcrimes committed by Australian soldiers. McBride will serve at least two years and three months in a Canberra jail as part of his non-parole period.
The letter, sent on Thursday, urges the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, and the attorney general, Mark Dreyfus, to advise the governor-general to grant McBride a full pardon to “end this injustice”.
“In 2020, prime minister, you told media outlet Crikey, in relation to the Collaery prosecution, ‘the idea that there should be a prosecution of a whistleblower, for what’s a shameful part of Australia’s history, is simply wrong’. It is equally shameful that the first person imprisoned in relation to Australia’s war crimes in Afghanistan is not a war criminal but the source of the Afghan Files reporting, journalism that was undeniably in the public interest.”
The letter also calls for the prosecution of former tax employee, #RichardBoyle, to end. Boyle spoke out internally, then to an independent watchdog and then to the media in 2018 about the Australian Taxation Office’s aggressive pursuit of tax debts from small businesses, which he said was destroying lives and causing unnecessary trauma to help the agency meet revenue goals.
Boyle is awaiting an appeal decision about whether he can use federal #whistleblower protection laws to gain immunity from his charges.
The group is also calling for Labor to commit to overhauling #whistleblowing laws this term, including work to establish a whistleblower #protection commission by next year. #auspol

Loving these Hag Stones 🥰 have you worked with them before? I often use them during castings to conjure spiritual energies to strengthen my manifestations. I also like to wear one as a pendant too. Wearing a Hag Stone helps to ward off negative energies and is believed to prevent hexes/curses.
