PyCon US 2026 2026

Day 2 (64)

What does PyCon US have in store today?

Will it be as cool as these sweet shiny ones I pulled last night during the MTG draft @crazy4pi314 hosted last night?

They'll be hosting another draft on Sunday if you're interested.

Okay peeps, I haven't had lunch and will definitely be looking to get a bite after my ~3 PM check-in. Any recs near the conference center for something light or people in the same position who wanna do late lunch?

I 3D printed some logo keychain charms to give away at !

Most of them will be at the local community booth 726 in the Expo Hall, where @pybeach, @socalpython, San Diego Python, and Inland Empire Python Users Group will be hanging out, but I’ll also have some on me throughout the conference.

Come say hi to whomever is at the booth to grab yours, or say hi to me wherever you see me. 😁

I’ve knitted a pair of socks for the Auction @ 2026! They fit a US women’s 7.5-9 shoe or men’s 6-7.5 (about 23.8-25.1 cm foot length, depending on width/instep etc.).

The yarn is composed of:

52% Silk
24% Mohair
20% Merino
4% Viscose

The cat’s paws and tail are not included; she’s still using them.

Starting with "Watering Hole Attacks" -- targeting places people are likely to return to.

Shai-Hulud, LiteLLM, Trivy are all examples.

A common loop is:

"Malicious release" -> "Cryptocoins/ransomware/credentials" -> "Get more accounts" -> repeat

Attacks in one ecosystem can spread, because so many companies ship multi-ecosystem packages.

40-50% of installs are not locked/pinned!

People are running on latest and not paying attention.

One new mitigation to some of these watering hole attacks: "Quarantine mode" and Trusted Reporters.
