Rust Changes from “Master” to “Main”
Two weeks ago, The Lunduke Journal pointed out how many Leftist Open Source organizations (Rust, NixOS, Linux Kernel, etc.) still used the “Master” branch naming (against their “inclusive naming” rules). ⌘ Read more

What are you reading this week?
Also what were you reading? What are you planning to read next?

I was planning to read Mastery by Robert Greene, but instead was juggling with biography of Oliver Heaviside by Paul J. Nahin and Darwin’s The Voyage of the Beagle. Well, both books are about Mastery, and both are really good. Also re-read Kipling’s Kim, which is perfect balance of uneasiness and comfort of favorite story.

It’s Sunday, and tomorrow I don’t have to work, as I have two weeks of vacation. The first time since May. My only breaks from work were when I hurt my hand and wasn’t able to type for a week, and two free days last week, but those also weren’t really relaxing for me. So I am very much looking forward to the next two weeks! I really feel the exhaustion from the last few months with work sometimes being stressful, the start of my fiancée’s teacher training, and some other topics. But this year again showed me that bi … ⌘ Read more

What are you reading this week?
Perhaps we may try to revive this genre of sharing book titles in order to find something out of usual interests? Anything that you have in your reading or listening queue: tech, non-tech, pulp or snob.

I’m planning to reread again Thinking Forth by Leo Brodie (he has published couple (mediocre) albums on Spotify BTW). Also Mastery by Robert Greene.

Redox now multithreaded by default
Can these months please stop passing us by this quickly? It seems we’re getting a monthly Redox update every other week now, and that’s not right. Anyway, what have the people behind this Rust-based operating system been up to this past month? One of the biggest changes this month is that Redox is now multithreaded by default, at least on x86 machines. Unsurprisingly, this can enable some serious performance gains. Also contributing to performance improvements t … ⌘ Read more

Docker at AI Engineer Paris: Build and Secure AI Agents with Docker

** Wobbly updates or a sort of week notes **
Hello RSS goblins.

It’s unseasonably warm here, and well, I suppose everywhere. That’s…frightening, but before I let that weigh to heavily on this post I must move on.

It’s been a gorgeous weekend. We took the kids to the beach Friday after dinner, expecting to play on the sand and scramble up the rocks, but they actually each went swimming. They had a blast. The car is filled with sand, and I hope that last little hurrah of summer hangs around for a bit.

We also went putt putt golfi … ⌘ Read more

10 Crazy News Stories No One Expected to Read in 2025
Over the past couple of weeks, things have been extremely tense and volatile in the U.S. and pretty much everywhere else. The news is full of stories and events making people even angrier, and it seems that the boiling point is not far off. To lower the temperature a bit, so to speak, it might […]

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, those are my bad.

A couple of weeks ago, I added CORS support, which is the source of the OPTIONS call. What I didn’t do was store the result so it stops trying to make further attempts. I’ll get that in tomorrow.

As for the “If-Modified-Since” header, the server-based component of TwtStrm should be sending that (along with its user-agent tag and my user info). I wasn’t sure if that could be sent with CORS requests, so I’ll need to look into that a bit more.

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!

@bender@twtxt.net Yes I did about a week or so ago. It took me a lot of effort to get the content even rendered in the first place. LOL I had to basically export my blog as HTML (can you believe that?!) – The Hugo export just didn’t work at all 🤣

A bike ride to reset
After a tough last weekend, a little cold, and bad weather, I was really exhausted and not in the best mood this week. But I knew the weather would be great on Friday, so I planned a bike tour. A 47-kilometer round trip north where there aren’t many hills. ⌘ Read more

I haven’t posted anything remotely resembling week notes since the middle of June!

I went for a nice walk to the park this morning and I am quite happy about it. Maybe next week I will go running again!

We just met again after sleep to clean up all the rest. I now got food for literally two weeks. At least. No kidding! I feel really bad for taking waaaaay more home than bringing along. :-/ Turned out that a bunch of people were absent without an excuse. :-( That rude behavior is beyond my comprehension.

Of course, @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz! But I’ll first write some instructions (hopefully this week) and then let you know. :-) Should be much easier then.

Morning, computer! Spending my days off trying to figure things out.
Some of them will occur in this post. I think best when I’m writing,
after all.

I’m back from a short vacation since a couple of weeks. I’m still
going to take a few days off every week for a while. I need the break.
It’s been way too many 12-16 hour workdays. I’m nominally working 80%
(~6 hour days), so I figure I’ve been working a lot for free.

The one at the top of the list I’m leaning towards os the SWAG SCT16 Family 4B

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah, it’s a shitshow. MS overconfirms all my prejudices constantly.

Ignoring e-mail after lunch works great, though. :-)

Our timetracking is offline for over a week because of reasons. The responsible bunglers are falling by the skin of their teeth:

1. The error message neither includes the timeframe nor a link to an announcement article.
   
2. The HTML page needs to download JS in order to display the fucking error message.
   
3. Proper HTTP status codes are clearly only for big losers.
   
4. Despite being down, heaps of resources are still fetched.
   

I find it really fascinating how one can screw up on so many levels. This is developed inhouse, I’m just so glad that we’re not a software engineering company. Oh wait. How embarrassing.

I hear you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! :‘-(

At work, too. For a few weeks now when I try to log into this horrible Outlook web intershit (Because why would they fix the Evolution integration?! It’s cactus for well over a year now. Probably more like two.), it forwards me to the corporate weblogin, I enter my credentials, even do the bloody MFA crap and get redirected back to Outlook. “Loading mailbox…” “Please wait for us to log you out, do not close this window while this process is underway.” Fuck you! I have to delete the cookies for this damn domain each and every fucking time. Otherwise, this goes in circles forever. I tried the game for 15 minutes, no joke.

But wait, there’s more! Why just fuck it up only a little bit? This week I get logged out at the middle of the day. Every. Single. Day. Not even close to eight hours since I started, no. What the hell!? I reckon I just don’t even bother reauthenticating anymore in the arvo. No more e-mails for Lyse after lunch. Fuck it. It’s just distraction, anyway, right?!

Gone on a road trip. Be back in a week 👋
