    Hi! I got tired of setting up tools I can't explain to a team in a few words like sops or git-crypt, just to store few files with environment variables or secrets, so I built lockenv as a simple alternative. It's basically a password-protected vault file you commit to git. No gpg keys, no cloud, just lockenv init, set a password, and lock/unlock the secrets. This tool integrates with OS keyring, so you're not typing passwords constantly. Should work on Mac/Linux/Windows, but I tested it only on linux so far. I am not trying to replace any mature / robust solution, just…

    Pipask is a drop-in replacement for pip that addresses a serious security flaw: standard pip executes arbitrary code from source distributions during dependency resolution, without warning or consent. Pipask retrieves metadata through PyPI's JSON API first, then checks repository popularity, download counts, package age, and known vulnerabilities before allowing installation. It presents you with a pretty report and asks for you consent with installation, giving you control over what code runs on your system. More details in the intro blog post:…

    I kept seeing every npm/pnpm/yarn/bun/uv supply chain post end with the same advice (set a minimum release age, turn off install scripts), and while I know cooldowns are "controversial", they do work. But even if you convince people that they should set cooldowns, it seems many don't end up following through, not sure why, maybe because it means hand-editing five config files in five formats with five different time units, or perhaps the "it won't happen to me" syndrome (or "I'll do it later, it seems complicated" where it's actually very simple). So I created a tool that…
