PayByCar is now showing a generic:

Our services are temporarily paused. We appreciate your understanding.

Which probably isn't anything nefarious, but I guess the turnpike was free this morning?

The providence of the SBOM is important. If you can't say "I made this" in reference to the SBOM then it's pretty much worthless.

Or, flip the script, if you're concerned enough about supply chain security to mandate an SBOM, you probably don't trust the supplier anyway.

There's the "but I signed it" crowd, but the wheels fall off when they've signed compromised artifacts too.

I just don't see a scenario where an SBOM that cannot be inspected and verified would be useful. If you have the infrastructure to do it, you're generating SBOMs anyway.

To put it another way - PIT runs your unit tests against automatically modified versions of your application code. When the application code changes, it should produce different results and cause the unit tests to fail. If a unit test does not fail in this situation, it may indicate an issue with the test suite.

Laptop reseller Malibal who boasts laptops with Linux support has picked a fight with the coreboot project and blacklisted several countries and US states from receiving their laptops.

The "why don't you ship to" links in their KB are also lulzy: https://portal.malibal.com/kb/c2/payment-shipping/
