Pro tip for _not_ getting your talk proposal immediately rejected: do not mention kubernetes in the abstract
Pro tip for getting your talk proposal immediately accepted: casually mention #varlink in the abstract
Node patched eMudhra and Brotli last week, but updating Node only covered part of the problem. Other applications carried their own copies of Brotli or still trusted the compromised certificates, leaving teams with more software to find and fix.

New release process 👀
omaforge 0.2.8 is out: safer uninstall, damaged config files no longer crash it or get overwritten, the window fits half a screen, and clearer error messages. A fixes release from a full QA pass.
Props to those who do actual software programming -- everything from designing UIs to actually writing the programs to doing "not sexy" but VERY important things like writing good documentation or debugging, and maintaining existing code.
Those of us who are left willingly doing this for a living have major obstacles in our path: vibe-coded "AI" slop, needlessly-bloated middleware, intentionally non-optimized software that gives us a bad name, etc.
That we've not quit by now is a miracle.

Nice, #selfhosting https://lyrion.org/ just revived our old #Squeezebox! On :nixos: #NixOS it was just:
services.slimserver.enable = true;
# (plus opening TCP port 9000 and TCP/UDP 3484)
Then performing the setup wizard via http://localhost:9000 (only works via localhost, can also use an ssh port forward for example), then the Squeezebox listed the server on its own everything worked after selecting it. 👍

"Just, like, be a browser" is like saying "just, like, be a building"
A browser has many functions. A browser can do lots of things for lots of people. Your browser needs will not necessarily be the same as others. Your experience of the web and what you value about it might not be the same as others.
"Just be a browser" implies a uniformity that doesn't match reality
"Just be a browser"... makes you sound like a moron.

Who is reading some great #literature tonight? I am about to start this classic:
Every release of windows-* crate is a source of pain for migration, I really want that crate to have some auto migration stuff. For which IMO package managers should have entry point in general.
Thought Control Resonant had a bug because it would reliably stutter every 1 second.
Actual problem: TV used as a display somehow persuaded Windows to set refresh at 59.94Hz. Manually set it to 60Hz and now everything is smooth again.

I obtained a code for an Angine de Poitrine artists pre-sale tomorrow for a concert next May in Denver. I'm of an age where a standing-room only mosh pit scenario revolts me, so I'll be shooting for reserved balcony seating. It's limited. Wish me luck.
