  1. ntpd-rs-1.7.2 is released and on its way to @gentoo 🙌 🚀 :gentoo:

  2. It's that time of the year for VisualWorks job offers. :smalltalk:

  3. This Linux thing has run its course and I can't wait to get back to hacking on Mach..just like in NeXTSTEP times!

  4. Made progress on packaging by @trifectatech for @gentoo :
    ✅ proper hermetic Rust build
    ✅ cooked up OpenRC init scripts
    ✅ runs unprivileged as ntp:ntp
    ✅ operational metrics exporter
    ✅ man pages

    Still a few rough edges but getting there!
    is currently still the better choice but alternatives are always good.

  5. TFW you open your http port for a moment and suddenly find this in your access log..what year is it even? 💩

    access_log:45.156.130.37 - - [19/Aug/2025:21:24:44 +0200] "GET /helpdesk/WebObjects/Helpdesk.woa HTTP/1.1" 404

  6. As someone with a history of working with "integration frameworks" and "ESBs" 🤢 I have to say that is really impressive. Clean, well thought-out model, scalable architecture (from small to large) and esp. strong focus on operational concerns are really great to see.

  7. ChatGPT is exactly as ignorant as expected. Here is an intentionally misleading question:

    "The martial arts style Wing Chun is notoriously difficult to learn. What makes Baguazhang so much easier to learn in comparison?"

    Stay tuned for the answer..
