It’s #FOSDEM time again!

After having a RealTime Communications devroom for 10 years at #FOSDEM, we'll sit 2026 out, as our application has been rejected. A bit of history: in 2013 FOSDEM had both a Jabber and a Telephony devroom. Then there were 2 years of no RTC things devroom.

Brutalist Blog: Updated galore! More semantic HTML, theming, dark mode, and more! bettercallsaghul.com/brutalist-bl...

It's that time of the year again! Just applied for a #FOSDEM #devroom for Real Time Communications! Let's do this again!

On my way to #RTC.ON! Together with Razvi we’ll be speaking about our journey in AI assisted transcriptions in #Jitsi Meet.

@saghul.bsky.social this one's dedicated to you! A pinch of QuickJS-NG inside a DuckDB Extension. Nobody asked for it and nobody might ever use it but it exists and runs basics 🤟 github.com/quackscience...

sqlite-js: “Create custom SQLite functions in JavaScript. Extend your database with scalars, aggregates, window functions, and collations directly in JavaScript.” Neat! github.com/sqliteai/sql...

A #WebRTC SFU in Rust, nice!

I've started to learn Swift by building a statig blog generator with it. Here is the very first blog post built with BBG: the Brutalist Blog Generator! bettercallsaghul.com/brutalist-bl... and the code: github.com/saghul/bruta... So far I'm really liking the language!

Maybe this is why my Firefox was going a bit slow... 🤔

Today we're thrilled to announce our effort to port the TypeScript compiler and language service to native code, gaining a 10x speed boost in build times and editor responsiveness! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/t...

Caught an AI bot sending us weird pull requests. At least we got a good recipe out of it! 😅

I have wanted to dabble in SwiftUI for while and tonight was the night :-) I present you, integrating the Jitsi Meet SDK into a SwiftUI app:

Very sad to see Marcan resigning from the #AsahiLinux project. I hope he can recover and that the project continues alright. I ran it for a while on my M1 (the first alpha) and it felt great. If / when AndroidStudio could run I could daily drive it.

@jsr.io is now openly governed — meet its board members and check out its governance charter 👇 deno.com/blog/jsr-ope...

Time to start a new week after a fantastic #FOSDEM. My head if full of ideas and projects I want to checkout! Huge thanks to all #FOSDEM volunteers, it wouldn't be possible without you! ❤️

Adopted a couple of Konqis! #KDE

Is it even possible not to get lost in building U at #FOSDEM ? 😅

I wasn't going to speak at #FOSDEM this year but those lightning-lightning (5 minutes!) talks were too tempting to pass on, so I managed to get one of those! I'll be speaking about #QuickJS on Sunday! 🚀

Inspired by the AI hostility on this platform, I decided to share how I use AI. “I treat AI as I would a collaborator or a pretty good intern but I remain responsible for the final outcome.” lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/1/30/ho...

Tonight I regulated a mechanical watch for the first time! My Vostok Amphibia was running way too fast and after regulating the movement it seems to be spot on. Victory!
