Microsoft closes another loophole to enable local accounts in Windows 11
It seems like Microsoft is continuing its quest to force Windows users to use Microsoft accounts instead of local accounts, despite the fact Microsoft accounts on Windows are half-baked and potentially incredibly dangerous. In the most recent Windows 11 Insider Preview Build (26220.6772), the company has closed a few more loopholes people were using to trick the Windows installer into al … ⌘ Read more

This probably means that I can no longer host my own website. I don’t want to deploy something like Anubis, because that ruins the whole thing: I want it to be accessible from ancient browsers, like OS/2 or Windows 3.11.
I’ll keep an eye on it for a while. Maybe try to block some IPs.
Sooner or later, I’ll take the website down and shift everything to Gopher.

18 rules of Software Engineering
- You will regret complexity when on-call
- Stop falling in love with your own code
- Everything is a trade-off. There’s no “best” 3. Every line of code you write is a liability 4. Document your decisions and designs
- Everyone hates code they didn’t write
- Don’t use unnecessary dependencies
- Coding standards prevent arguments
- Write meaningful commit messages
- Don’t ever stop learning new things
- Code reviews spread knowledge
- Always build for maintainability
- Ask for help when you’re stuck
- Fix root causes, not symptoms
- Software is never completed
- Estimates are not promises
- Ship early, iterate often
- Keep. It. Simple.
Solid list, even though 14 is up for debate in my opinion: Software can be completed. You have a use case / problem, you solve that problem, done. Your software is completed now. There might still be bugs and they should be fixed – but this doesn’t “add” to the program. Don’t use “software is never done” as an excuse to keep adding and adding stuff to your code.

Microsoft unveils the new Start menu for Windows 11 users
I think one of the more controversial parts of Windows 11 – aside from its system requirements, privacy issues, crapware, and “AI” nonsense – is its Start menu. I’ve heard so many complaints about how it’s organised, its performance, the lack of customisation, and so on. Microsoft heard those complaints, and has unveiled the new Start menu that’ll be shipping to Windows 11 soon – and I have to say, there’s a ton of g … ⌘ Read more

And on a similar note, cross-post from Mastodon:
What I love about HTML and HTTP is that it can degrade rather gracefully on old browsers.
My website isn’t spectacular but I don’t think it looks horrible, either. And it’s still usable just fine all the way down to WfW 3.11:
It’s not perfect, but it’s usable. And that makes me happy. Almost 30 years of compatibilty.
The biggest sacrifice is probably that I don’t enforce TLS and that HTTP 1.0 has no Host: header, so no vhosts (or rather, everything must come from the default vhost). (Yes, some old browsers send Host:, even though they predate HTTP 1.1. Netscape does, but not IBM WebExplorer, for example.)
(On the other hand, it might completely suck on modern mobile devices. Dunno, I barely use those. 🤪)

Regex Isn’t Hard - Tim Kellogg 👈 this is a pretty good conscience article on regexes, and I agree, regex isn’t that hard™ – However I think I can make the TL;DR even shorter 😅
Regex core subset (portable across languages):
Character sets
• a matches “a”
• [a-z] any lowercase
• [a-zA-Z0-9] alphanumeric
• [^ab] any char but a or b
Repetition (applies to the preceding atom)
• ? zero or one
• * zero or more
• + one or more
Groups
• (ab)+ matches “ab”, “abab”, …
• Capture for extract/substitute via $1 or \1
Operators
• foo|bar = foo or bar
• ^ start anchor
• $ end anchor
Ignore non‑portable shortcuts: \w, ., {n}, *?, lookarounds.
