Google will soon allow users to store their location data on their devices rather than on Google’s servers, effectively ending a long-running surveillance practice that allowed police and law enforcement to tap Google’s vast banks of location data to identify potential criminals. The use of so-called “geofence warrants” have exploded in recent years, in large […] © 2023 TechCrunch.

To enable CodeQL on GitHub Enterprise Server you need to make sure you have GitHub Actions setup and running, including your own set of self-hosted runners. You can read more about that in my previous post here. From that point you can get started to enable CodeQL. Of course, you’ll need to have it enabled in your license, and upload that license file to your server as well.

After scanning the GitHub Actions Marketplace for the security of those actions (read that post here ) I was curious to see what happens if I’d enable Secret Scanning on the forked repositories. I regularly teach classes on using GitHub Advanced Security (where secret scanning is part of) and I always tell my students that they should enable secret scanning on their repositories.

Many organizations today are unlocking the power of their data by using graph databases to feed downstream analytics, enahance visualizations, and more. Yet, when different graph nodes represent the same entity, graphs get messy. Watch this essential video with Senzing CEO Jeff Jonas on how adding entity resolution to a graph database condenses network graphs to improve analytics and save your analysts time.

TL;DR The runner just downloads what you specified, by getting it from the tag The runner does not do SemVer at all. It’s up to the maintainer Even GitHub does not update (or create) all SemVer versions, so @v3 is not necessarily the latest thing for v3! The marketplace shows releases, not tags. If the maintainer does not actually release, it’s not visible It’s more secure to use a SHA hash instead of a tag: read more info here Semantic versioning When using GitHub Actions, the default is to u

I am slowly diving into ‘Configuration as code’ for the GitHub Platform: all the things you want to automate with as few steps as possible, making big impact. Some of these things also fall under ‘GitOps’ in my opinion: if you store it into a repo and on changes you make, the automation will make it happen. The plan is to have this post as a central starting point for people searching to achieve a similar setup.

There is a lot of confusion of what GitHub (access) tokens are and how you should use them for automating things inside of GitHub. There are three main types of tokens: Personal Access Tokens (PATs) The GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable (explainer here ) An access token created from a GitHub App (explainer here ) You can use these tokens to authenticate to GitHub and perform actions with it, like cloning repositories, making API calls, etc.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

In this specific case we use GitHub Apps as an integration point between GitHub and Jenkins: the code is moving to GitHub, and we still want to trigger our existing Jenkins jobs on code changes. We have over a 100 teams in Jenkins, all with their own pipelines. We have a security requirement that teams that connect to their code in a Jenkins pipeline only can see their own code, and not the repos from other teams.

Those validation rules alone may not guarantee the best data quality. In this article, we focus on the best practices to employ while building the data pipelines to ensure data quality. 1. Idempotency A data pipeline should be built in such a way that, when it is run multiple times, the data should not be duplicated.

I have been a fan of GitHub Actions since the beta in the end of 2019. And the more I use them and create my own, the more I have this growing itch to see how these actions are made, how active the community is, and what we can do to improve this ecosystem. So I decided to do some research and see what I could find out. I already have a (now inactive) Twitter bot that scrapes the GitHub Actions Marketplace and stores that info for later use (unfortunately, the marketplace has no API to u
