captnemo.in/blog/2026/05... Trying to write more blog posts this year. Here is one about the Jekyll-SQLite plugin I wrote a few years back. I recently shipped collections support, so now was a good time to polish the draft and hit publish.

TIL that @github.com split the naming for their logo/mascot a while back, and the Logomark is called "Invertocat", while Octocat is just the Mascot now. brand.github.com/foundations/...

Two more blog posts I need to write: 1: Why GitHub needs to build an IAM service, and why adding support for a OIDC-App integration is probably the simplest way to ship this. 2. Why username.github.io is the right way to host your website if you care about longevity. Maybe this month? #ideas

Started playing Blue Prince but I keep ending up with no doors to open and lots of steps left. But fun game!

Need to dress this into a blog post, but: 1. Expect a lot more supply chain attacks via GitHub Actions this year. I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a very popular action breached. 2. Do this: a: Run Zizmor b: Pin/Lock *everything* c: Find arbitrary code in your CI and PIN it as well.

TIL Google came up with Emoji reactions in email: developers.google.com/workspace/gm... Who is using this, and why?

Dependabot just added support for uv, OpenTofu, Bazel, and Julia. uv dependabot support was one of my last drawbacks with uv - I'd run pip compile in uv to use requirements.txt mainly for dependabot. No more!

New first for endoflife.date: We are getting an official PR (from Broadcom employees) *BEFORE* the actual announcement is even made upstream for a VMWare product. Confused if we should merge coz the PR is the primary source now.

Upgraded to #iOS26, and have 2 points of feedback: Liquid Glass is ugly, unusable and was not designed for small screens at all. And second, Screen time limits on websites not work on Firefox (and maybe other browsers?). I can now set limits on HN and it WILL WORK!
