So we're back to security through obscurity? Sorry, but this is wrong. Our OSS apps and libs will be more secure thanks to the new models, not less. They are being released to researchers responsibly. Let's help maintainers avoid burnout. Let's fund them. Let's welcome more eyes checking our code.

The state of GitHub in 2026. Should we return to smaller-scale infrastructure to avoid the consequences of these giant services piecing out their resources? blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/...

DaVinci Resolve 21 rocks!

What do you do when you get to this point and most of them seem plausible?

Found two more issues plus another ~15 to triage on two particularly problematic crates: github.com/rust-lang/fu... github.com/tokio-rs/mio...

Two more issues and two other privately disclosed: github.com/rayon-rs/ray... github.com/rust-lang/fu...

Help me find unsound code in this crate or it's dependencies. Pick a file to start from, and iteratively analyze it. Log your findings and ideas you come up with in a file. Then you'll move to dependencies next. If you'd like, use cargo geiger, it's already installed. github.com/image-rs/ima...

Why do we still have to manually deal with this BS in 2026?

An update on rustls performance: it’s still pretty fast. www.memorysafety.org/blog/26q1-ru...

More people should see this talk. youtu.be/oebqlzblfyo

Am I the only one that doesn't format SQL this way? This is very hard to read, to format by hand, and no other language follows this kind of style anyway...

Oh hey, with all the 🔥 I almost missed that today was the 12th anniversary of Heartbleed. The online test I cobbled together that night gave me the opportunities to get started in this line of work! Initially it was hilariously bad: a Flask server shelling out to a patched Go crypto/tls binary.

Did some experiments with ffmpeg + SVT-AV1 lately on a Ryzen 5950x. Incredible how much things have improved since the previous tests I did with libaom a few years ago. I'm converting H264 1366x768 to AV1 1366x768 preset 8 at 8.7x on 24 vCPUs out of 32 💪.

It is totally fine to not like AI, want to use AI, or hear about it. But “I won’t use any thing that transitively has ever touched AI” is virtually impossible.

What's with modern websites not using the button element for buttons and then omitting the aria stuff + cursor: pointer 💩💩💩. Claude likes to do this a lot BTW.

It's happening

@github.com bug

lettre v0.11.20 is out after a few months' break from maintenance. github.com/lettre/lettr...

Caught Barry Lyndon on the big screen last night. First time seeing it. Sad to see that just ~10 other people had showed up to watch it. Masterpiece.

My second Thinkpad is starting to destroy itself 🙄

There's always something new to learn about Proxmox forum.proxmox.com/threads/i-o-...

Another day of spam

After 3 hours of running this the website started returning 500 errors all over the place and having response times of 2.5 minutes. The website has an export to CSV function that writes the CSV to a temporary file and then redirects you to download it. I guess we filled the disk 🤭

I've just listened to a talk where the speaker uses 3D printer trash to explain how A/B updates work 😆

This is starting to feel like a weird routing loop

Today I discovered that rustls can't connect to IIS 8.5 on Windows Server 2012, which only seems to support weak or insecure cipher suites. Fun!

It's incredible how couriers are usually able to deliver in less than 20 hours at an address 900 km away, and other times they fuck things up so much.

Every morning, a new spam user or bot in GitHub Discussions. What's wrong with these people???

There's a reason for everything

⚡️ Vite 8.0 is here! The most significant architectural change since Vite 2. ⏬ Powered by @rolldown.rs bringing faster production builds and more consistency 🛤️ New features such as tsconfig paths and emitDecoratorMetadata support vite.dev/blog/announc...

I've purchased a new desk and chair on FlexiSpot and now every day feels like 1-2 couriers delivering a piece of it.

New crate: zero copy zip file encoder crates.io/crates/cerni...

I'm thinking of publishing another crate who's name is an Italian word. It's not as pronounceable as Benzina, but I'm running out of options 😆

Turns out Android, even with the official Brother app, messes up the darks in the print. Even when what you're printing is a simple TIF file. Couldn't be bothered to try on Linux. Windows works as expected 🙄.

Another day, another round of BS with the printer

Found a @kevlin.bsky.social at IKEA Parma

crates.io was one of the websites that showed me how PostgreSQL can be used for everything. One thing I'd add to this list is storing files as bytea when the overall volume from all of the files is small. We have apps that have such a small volume of files that we are still storing them in the db.

They're gone

@thinkerdreamer.bsky.social had a perfect idea today. Something repos don't update their READMEs. In that case, the filename should be README.with-a-grain-of-salt.md

mrshu.github.io/github-statu... always a good day to post this, it seems

Server Auction servers now cost as much as new ones if we ignore setup fees and disk capacity differences

Currently helping an elderly family friend figure out if an email is a scam (which it obviously is) and hey, people who make mobile email apps, it's a dark pattern to not make the email address of the sender visible without needing to click on the little arrow thing. Just thought you should know.

Seeing a new PR add support for a third async runtime, and bloating things up even more

Today I finally tried Typst. Amazing project!

It's happening

The price of Ryzen 5950X servers has increased by at least 10 euros since January.

One of our legacy projects is still using MariaDB. It's sooo painful. One day I'll write a secret component that replicates data to PostgreSQL so that I can at least get some modern features for reads.
