Has anyone tried compiling CRuby with the new memory-safe C impl, Fil-C? One big caveat: "Fil-C currently only supports Linux/X86_64" https://fil-c.org

It seems like profitable conferences are increasingly unlikely for low budget orgs. @rubycentral have you signed any event contracts past 2026? What are your conf plans after rubyconf 2026? https://publicidentity.net/@jezdez/115491874626784058

I believe Ufuk acted from a place of immensely poor judgement by platforming DHH, and also from a place of inherent conflict of interest as a Shopify employee in 2025, which ultimately lead to the financial crunch Ruby Central ended up in. (See his response here) […]

Sidekiq was a main driver for thread-safe gems in the Ruby community back in 2012. It took about a year for most threadsafety bugs in gems to flush out. Similarly, Python released 3.14, the first major build with optional GIL earlier this year and is quickly seeing their native packages become […]

I'm trying to understand what @rubycentral does now for rubygems.org. Assumptions: * software is provided by ruby-core * hardware/bandwidth is donated * dev/oncall time is no longer compensated Coordinate on-call, own the domain and provide misc devops services like pagerduty and slack. What […]

Sidekiq metrics win! It's one thing to build features in the abstract but it's so validating to see users post before/after screenshots. https://github.com/sidekiq/sidekiq/issues/6610#issuecomment-3468278631

@rubycentral Are your bylaws public and available somewhere?

@rubycentral Would you please remove my "kicker" logo from the bottom of this page? https://rubycentral.org/support/

The Linux Foundation had $196m in revenue in 2023 and paid Linus $1.6m No shade, he deserves every penny IMO.

Thanks to @afomera for speaking up. We cannot tolerate hateful leaders or our community turns into that Nazi bar. Solidarity means supporting each other, no matter what we look like. https://hachyderm.io/@thomasfuchs/115440948081744562

I'm in a #github internal group for high-profile FOSS projects (due to @leaflet having a few kilo-stars), and the second most-wanted feature is "plz allow us to disable copilot reviews", with the most-wanted feature being "plz allow us to block issues/PRs […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Ruby Association has 16 Platinum sponsors and roughly $100k in annual income. Platinum sponsorship is ~$3200 (500,000 yen). I think they could add a zero to their Sponsorship tiers and pay for a few ruby-core members to work full-time. Their 2025 budget […]

Fall's hottest new look is coming to #sfruby 😂

@Ryanbigg I think I pinged you like a year ago about this: /Users/mperham/.gem/ruby/3.4.5/gems/mail-2.8.1/lib/mail/parsers/date_time_parser.rb:691: warning: assigned but unused variable - testEof Did you ever get anywhere on a new mail release?

@zenspider Have you considered pulling in any of the features in grosser's maxitest? I've found several to be useful, like `around`. Could make for a nice minitest 6.0 release.

The first useful application of AI I’ve seen so far: filling out localized strings for new features.

Servo has clear governance policies: https://github.com/servo/project/blob/main/governance/README.md Interesting, for GitHub admin roles: "as long as Linux Foundation Europe hosts the project, it is also included in the list of administrators as well." Like if Ruby Central demanded admin on […]

I love that the home page for @servo is a screenshot of the Wikipedia definition of Servo, rendered by Servo. Congrats on the first public release! https://servo.org

This article does a wonderful job of reminding me why I love Ruby so much. The core language is just so elegant. https://tech.stonecharioteer.com/posts/2025/ruby-blocks/

“THE TWO BEST RUBY CODEBASES OF ALL TIME: Sidekiq, and Minitest, continual inspirations for style and clarity.” - @nateberkopec Thanks Nate, I paged thru the minitest code and learned a bunch. For Sidekiq, I recommend starting with sidekiq/api.rb. Lots of value for your time.

Never, ever in a thousand years did I ever think that Rubyconf attendance might be an ethical dilemma to me but here we are.

Maybe @matz and @rubycentral would find it useful to read Apache's summary on how they govern their open source projects. https://apache.org/foundation/governance/

CSRF attacks are essentially dead in Go 1.25. Really happy to see this, I can finally remove nosurf from Faktory. https://www.alexedwards.net/blog/preventing-csrf-in-go

It’s nice to see Hanami picking up more traction. https://ruby.social/@galtzo/115369806544327629

Great talk Ryan, I only wish it had been twice as long. Hard to encapsulate an entire 400-level EE course in 30 minutes. https://ruby.social/@zenspider/115358621722582244

Periodic reminder: @rubycentral is smearing Andre in public so they can justify their hostile takeover of the rubygems/rubygems repo after the fact. An actual community-focused organization would have followed the RFC process which was already in progress.

Gem.coop governance just dropped. I’m really curious to learn more about the voting methods they note. https://github.com/gem-coop/governance

Good stuff if you’re looking to learn more about Hanami. https://ruby.social/@Ryanbigg/115340414521956481

@zenspider I thought this was good feedback RE: minitest onboarding and documentation. Always room for improvement! https://remimercier.com/introduction-to-minitest/

Sidekiq 8.0.8 has been released, you can now configure a maximum runtime for iterable jobs to avoid long-running jobs from hogging all threads. 🎹🎶 https://github.com/sidekiq/sidekiq/blob/main/Changes.md#808 https://youtu.be/tLxDRePUwEY?si=EcNvKvEV9VE8KfEn&t=38

Really interesting iOS + Fediverse developments happening here... https://fosstodon.org/@altstore/115333241366044607

New community gem server from the rubygems team just dropped: https://gem.coop

Looking forward to next week! #secret

Is @sidekiq the only major background job system which works with #hanami? AFAIK good_job and solid_queue require Active Job.

Ola Bini was a core JRuby developer in the early 2010s. He moved to Ecuador and changed his focus to digital privacy and NGOs. In 2019, the Ecuador gov't accused him of being a Russian asset and he's been in legal hell since. https://darknetdiaries.com/transcript/163/

This is a fun article. Any time I’m building toward a major release, I always think “what could I remove without too much blowback?” “What config option has lived past its prime?” Remove complexity if it has little benefit. Sometimes it’s worth nudging people back onto the happy path […]

Justin, this is a hit piece on Andre. Lots of quibbling over word choice and reading his actions as poorly as possible. Are you assuming good faith in his actions? Looking at the last three links, here’s how I would characterize them: 1. A reasonable conversation on committer vs maintainer. 2 […]

I want a Private mode for Apple Music so playing music for my kid, wife, listening to a friend’s recommendation, etc doesn’t wreck my recommendations forever. I played that Coldplay album once!!

I just merged iteration max runtime so if an iterable job runs for more than N seconds, Sidekiq will stop it and push it to the back of the queue so other jobs can execute. Helps prevent a small set of long-running jobs from blocking all other job execution for more than N seconds […]

I have 25 Principles hanging in my bathroom to remind me to act like an adult, it mostly works.

Happy new iPhone Day to all who celebrate! 🎉

TIL DHH and Tobi are racing together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobias_Lütke#Racing_career

Is this a fair reading of the rubygems situation? https://www.reddit.com/r/ruby/comments/1nmzqq2/a_board_members_perspective_on_the_rubygems/nfoaj3w/

I deleted my previous posting on the Rubygems situation as it was conjecture based on back channel rumors. I want to assume good faith from Ruby Central so I’ll shut up, learn from this mistake and let the primary parties tell their own story.

@Schneems can you unstick the railsconf sticky? https://www.reddit.com/r/ruby/

When Values Eat Their Young: How Ideal-Driven Groups Drift into Their Own Shadow Good critique of open source organizations, lots to think about here. https://kennethreitz.org/essays/2025-08-25-when-values-eat-their-young

We need a Ruby Central which is not beholden to DHH and Shopify money but representative of the larger community. Why aren't the board of directors publicly elected, like Python? https://ruby.social/@adarsh/115215323757719078
