@squirrel nah not understanding a specific tech doesn't reflect on you at all

boto is just the python aws library: github.com/boto/boto

@vahnj so it's.. broken? what is it used for? the link doesn't say much

@squirrel sorry

amazon's aws has a lot of different api endpoints you can hit

boto is just a friendlier library written in python that lets you use the cli effectively in python with much more ease than trying to call the command line directly

@squirrel i think one of the top uses is reading/writing to and from S3 for file management stuff

@squirrel oh if this is in response to codl's toot that was just a hypothetical situation to set up the pun

was there another post about a vulnerability?
