  1. Fedizens, do y'all put in your or is it just an Indian thing?

    (It used to be an adulterant but now people have been made to believe they like it 😢)

    :boostRequest:

  2. can't believe #Wasm I/O is less than a week away! Andrea Peruffo and I will be there for our session "The State of Zero-Dependency Wasm" with the latest from #wazero and #chicory 🚀

  3. And yeah, I've seen urine used for various purposes, but not as a dye mordant... Not for the squeamish!

    20 Natural Dye Plants You Can Forage and Grow in Your Garden

    By Catherine Winter

    Excerpt: "Would you prefer to go a super-natural route, since you’re using plant-based dyes? If you’re aiming to be as self-sufficient as possible, there are also all-organic mordant options as well.

    Natural Mordants:

    - Sumac: Simmer fresh sumac twigs for about an hour, strain out the twiggy bits, and reduce the liquid by half
    - Urine: human urine is ideal for mordanting, but you’ll need to age it. Collect it in a jar and allow it to age for several days. [🤢 ]
    - Salt: You can use standard table salt as a mordant, but Kosher salt can yield some of the strongest color-fastness. [I've used that]
    - Vinegar [That too]
    - Wood ash lye

    "You’ve probably noticed that some of these are alkaline, and some are acidic. Alkaline mordants tend to work best with plant-based fibers like cotton, linen, and #hemp. In contrast, acidic mordants like vinegar are better with animal fibers like #wool, #alpaca, and #angora.

    "Note that if you use an acidic mordant and your colors still run, you can set the color by dipping the fabric in a 50/50 vinegar/water solution. In contrast, if you’ve used an alkaline mordant like lye or baking soda [another one I've used], an acidic solution will strip the color rather than setting it." [Been there, done that!]

  8. 🕶️🤌 Nice broker you have there, it would be a shame if someone put #wasm in it

    In-broker #Wasm transforms in @apachekafka with #Chicory and some light low-level patching 🧐

    I hope you enjoyed part 1, because this is part 2 😎

    blog.evacchi.dev/posts/2025/09

  9. New Blog Post: Extending Kafka the Hard Way (in which we inject #Wasm inside a Kafka broker using #Chicory, #extism and some elbow grease)

    blog.evacchi.dev/posts/2025/08

  10. I wrote an article about implementing the #Chicory #Wasm compiler backend for Android Dalvik/ART bytecode, tricks to run ART in an unconventional way inside! blog.evacchi.dev/posts/2025/07

  11. Am I doing it wrong? It looks like runtime-generated, dynamically-loaded DEX files are always interpreted on Android (well, at least on the first run). Thing is, it's pretty easy to overflow the stack of the interpreter. I wonder if there are ways around that...

    #chicory #wasm #JIT

  12. @wildflyas #Ai Feature Pack 0.5.0 is out with support for bearer authentication for #MCP server, support for #WASM binaries injection and ability to expose them as MPC tools #chicory github.com/wildfly-extras/wild

  13. In the office for work meetings, the dynamic is so different, everyone on the hunt for coffee. Proper caffeination to make it through the day.

    I don’t drink Coffee. But I do drink coffee #stout after work.

    #aleSmith Speedway New Orleans Cafe

    Nutty, coffee, chocolate body, a hint of licorice and slight bitter finish

    #itsAlwaysStoutSeason #craftBeer #chicory @beersofmastodon

  14. Also if you wanna hang the coming week, we're hosting a hackathon in SFO (remote attendance too!) I'll be there too!

    Join us to talk about #Wasm, #MCP, #AI. I myself will be looking forward to chat about #Java, #Chicory #extism and even #Android! (you're interested in #wazero and #Go too? Be my guest) lu.ma/ery1237h

  15. We're really excited to announce the mcpx4j library: you can now plug mcp.run tools everywhere Java runs! Powered by the #extism #chicory #wasm runtime! docs.mcp.run/blog/2025/01/10/m

  16. When #GenZ goes on about how the #80s were #cool, those of us who lived through them the first time #shudder involuntarily. The #younger folks will never know the true #horror of that time.

    A time when people thought it was a good idea to put #chicory in #coffee.
