arttime VS homebrew-core

Below is a collection of figures from arttime's manpage. It can be opened with arttime -m or man arttime from terminal. You can also see arttime's manpage (without colors) in your web browser: arttime manwebpage.

arttime is a terminal application that blends beauty of text-art with functionality of clock, timer, and pattern-based time manager. One can also display customized dynamic feed of information like weather, news, stocks, system metrics and etc. The above GIF shows that a feeder can be used to display weather in arttime.

Please read sections ORCHESTRATING and CONTRIBUTING (which has a software spec) in [arttime man txt](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/poetaman/arttime/main/shar...). to understand how to write custom information feeders. They can be written in any language, and should be quite simple. Please get in touch if you write something of common interest. Link to such feeders will get added to arttime's page, and best ones will get special mention. Here's an example that shows how line of text under art can be remotely updated to show "Hello World":

```

v2.3.0 of arttime enables silent remote updates for exciting information feeders, adds illustrative manpage, and new .deb package. One can write a customized information feeder in language of choice. Please feel free to share if you write something of value to others, a link to your work will be added to arttime's page. Links:

It's mentioned on the README.md's Troubleshooting section: https://github.com/poetaman/arttime#troubleshooting. Having seen fellow humans, I opine that not many will reach there.

Package managers should agree to remove software from a platform if the developer thinks it's not fruitful for them to keep publishing there, or it's detrimental to the user's experience.

arttime is a clock, timer, time manager, ASCII/ANSI/PETSCII/Unicode text-art and ~animation/storyboard viewer that comes with a library of curated quality text-art. Notes: it's coded in zsh, but that's not required to be user's shell to install or use. If you would like to collaborate on a package for a package manager, among other things, feel free to drop a note in arttime discussions.

Is disabling the compromised repo the typical GitHub policy? My concern is there are monorepos used by package managers, like brew, that are a collection of thousands of projects [1]. These monorepos seem like a prime target for attack and if GitHub disables one because a malicious commit was merged then you've taken down an entire ecosystem.

> Correct. Though we do not appear to be affected, this revert was done out of an abundance of caution.

> right, but now you know even less about your setup when you some roadblock

This is the same with a binary though. And with homebrew, you can't follow patches or flags used or if they change.

definitely be careful about using fortune in a corporate environment or public space if you don't know what dat files you are using or you might just get an extremely unwelcome surprise.

I was practicing a presentation and used to use "fortune" all the time. I forget exactly what it output but I remember being absolutely mortified about what could have happened if that had popped up during an internal company tech talk.

Kudos to brew for keeping unsuspecting people safe

I'm sorry to be asking this as I find it a bit silly, but it's blocking my PR [3], so could a few of you star the project on Github [1] to get my PR to run?
