Hi, I'm JamieTanna (he/him/his), and I'm currently a Senior Software Engineer at Elastic.
I currently live in Nottingham with my partner Anna Dodson and our cat Morph and our puppy Cookie.
I use my site as a method of blogging about my learnings, as well as sharing information about projects I have
previously, or are currently, working on in my spare time.
I'm a GNU/Linux user, a big advocate for the Free Software Movement, and the IndieWeb movement and I try to self host my own services where possible,
instead of relying on other providers.
I have ADHD (Inattentive Type) and am learning how to make my life work better around it.
Drop me an email at hi@jamietanna.co.uk, or

Friends and folks working with #SBOMs - how do you conceptually think about them in terms of ingesting them into tools?
I.e. I like to think of an SBOM having a source repository or component it relates to, but sometimes you don't know that up front, and all you have is the result of a scan, which could be the source repo, a container image, or a built binary.
Considering whether:
I try to guess what repo/component it is based on the filename
Just store the filename in the database and allow querying with that (and leave repo info optional)
Retrieve metadata from the SBOM that known tools use to define this
Does anyone know if there's a good way of getting a historical storage of queries that users put into #Datasette? Trying to get some stats around common queries and usage, couldn't see a plugin for it, but not sure if my searching just missed it
Bruce Perens created the definition of open source and co-founded the Open Source Initiative in 1998.

In this episode of CHAOSScast, host Dawn Foster brings together Matt Germonprez, Brian Proffitt, and Ashley Wolf to discuss the implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs), including policy considerations, the potential for AI-driven contributions to create workload for maintainers, and the quality of contributions. They also touch on the use of AI internally within companies versus contributing back to the open source community, the importance of distinguishing between human and AI contributions, and the potential benefits and challenges AI introduces to open source project health and community metrics. The conversation strikes a balance between optimism for AI’s benefits and caution for its governance, leaving us to ponder the future of open source in an AI-integrated world.

Listening to Tulips - Minotaur Shock Remix is forever going to remind me of the last few chapters of Leviathan Falls.
