  1. We have put out a release candidate for NVDA 2026.1.1. This is a patch release to fix security issues. A bug fix is also included for an issue introduced in 2026.1 with how ctrl+f is handled in File Explorer.

  2. I attended a Two-Headed-Giant PreRelease for Secrets of Strixhaven last Friday. Great Set! The seeded packs dictated almost all decks. Some people did not get PreRelease Packs as they did not register, but the TO tried to be supportive anyway and gave them normal packs. One team dropped after round 2, because their decks were a lot weaker than the opponents, which lead to unfortunate buy in round 3 and 4.

    My team played a Witherbloom life-gain matters deck and a five-color mostly-Quandrix Converge deck.

    My Witherbloom deck did not work to well, but my friends five-color deck worked surprisingly well. We mostly anticipated a fun but not coming together deck, but an unanswered Wildgrowth Archaic was quite strong and we needed a lot of dice.
    We still only finished 2-2.

    The amount of removal spells - at least in the decks of our opponents - was quite substantial, which in one round lead to the rather unfun play pattern of not sticking one creature.

  22. The Settings GUI in #konform #browser was in need of some love and is now having a refresh. Several new knobs, some shuffling around to make things more cohesive and less scattered, and some edits of hints to hopefully reduce potential for confusion.

    New options for:
    - First-Party Isolation
    - Enhanced #tracking Protection tweaking in Custom mode (useful mostly for FPI users)
    - #webrtc and ICE
    - #dom Push and its optional network connection
    - #jit features
    - WebAssembly (#wasm)
    - Geolocation
    - WebGPU
    - Async callstacks support
    - Persisting of browser history

    Hints and the "advanced" options expand when clicking the "?" for parent option.

    Still a bit hesitant on where global toggles for #webgpu and #webgl belong. And perhaps configuration for cross-origin referrer could also move to Browser Privacy controls?

    Otherwise feels like things are coming together - What do you think? Anything you're missing or that feels out of place?

  35. Is that Tauri, running a Roda app locally as a desktop app without exposing it to TCP?

    Almost! It's my experimental Ruby port of Tauri... Tokra!

    Write desktop software in Ruby, with an HTML and CSS interface. You can use JS frameworks, too. Plus: it's Rack-compatible!
