"Let us be the repository of your passkeys" and "We may terminate your account at any time and permanently refuse to communicate with you" ... seems like a bad combination?

Junioři bývají z programátorských srazů, konferencí, a dalších míst, kde se odehrává onen bájný „networking”, většinou spíš vystrašení. Ta věta by teda byla pravda, i pokud bych místo junioři napsal prostě lidi 😀 Každý jsme nějaký. Někdo se rád druží, jiný […] [Original post on mastodonczech.cz]

The two relics of exploding stars are black holes and neutron stars. Both were discovered by women. Jocelyn Bell discovered neutron stars, in the guise of “pulsars”, in 1967. Since then, three Nobel prizes have gone to male scientists for their work on pulsars, but none to Bell. Louise Webster […]

Všichni sdíleli Spotify stats, tak 1) Spotify je dementní služba okrádající muzikanty (jediné plus na ní je to, že to je jeden z mála evropských hráčů mezi všemi US based techbros) 2) tyhle výběry jsou na hovno, protože to vůbec nemůžou používat lidi jako já, co nejčastěji pouští uspávací […]

Everything new experience with k8s is just my confirmation bias towards Docker Swarm's ease of use. Simple and powerful.

Wow, just noticed #thingumbrella reached 3700 stars on GitHub — I'm celebrating... 🤩🫠 Heartfelt thanks to all of you who've been helping along the way (in any shape & form) and been supporting this work for all these years and across different programming languages/camps! Merci beaucoup!!! Esp […]

Just did some tweaks of k8s resource requests and went down from 24 nodes to just 9. I deserve cold beer tonight.

The URL is so overpowered and so often under-utilised. This article does a great job of explaining how much power you really have. https://alfy.blog/2025/10/31/your-url-is-your-state.html

Reading this below on the 36th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and by extension the symbolic end of the GDR, the place I grew up in... with neighbors and parents of classmates belonging to the Stasi (east German secret police), the fear my own parents might be disappeared — years […]

When everyone is a developer — including all the vibe coders with their magic lamps — how do we get the AI genies to use web platform features instead of the React code they default to? I have a few suggestions in this week's Web Technology News (WTN), along with links to wisdom from around the […]

Tags are sets. Many apps support tagging of content, but most of them (incl. Mastodon) treat tags only as singular/isolated topic filters, akin to a flat folder-based approach. But tagging can be so, so much more powerful when treating tags as sets and […] [Original post on mastodon.thi.ng]

You can never know what someone else is going through when you say they should quit their job.

„…polovina Evropanů s nejnižšími příjmy snížila své emise oproti roku 1990 o dvacet sedm procent, zatímco nejbohatší desetina procenta Evropanů své emise naopak o čtrnáct procent zvýšila.“ […]

oh snap, JIT MCP Warp doesn't make me install MCP servers, it offers to install them, just in time, when it needs the tool. Great UX. nerdy.dev/try-warp

A bit annoying that free/open source communities are almost all hosted by a closed source platform owned by microsoft AI who use it to IP-wash all those projects by training LLMs.. While also supporting genocide etc.

There's app for it. It's called Web browser.

I'm sending them a few bucks every month, because I want them to succeed and have more diverse ecosystem of browsers. If you want more freedom on the internet support them too. https://indieweb.social/@[email protected]/115288486278398534

"Es tut mir leid, dass Sie die Sendung noch nicht erhalten haben. Könnten Sie mir bitte das im Anhang befindliche Dokument ausgefüllt und unterschrieben zurücksenden?" Is this how to say: "go f* yourself", but in Deutsch?

I'm not a fan of React, but I really like this kind of effect! useEffect(() => { if (isError) { // There should be no errors } }, [isError])

Finally made that tool I've been planning for a while: A configurable batch deleter of #mastodon #bookmarks, supporting threshold date (i.e. only older bookmarks considered) and lists of accounts and hashtags to always keep […]

#serato DJ Pro broked MIDI mapping compatibility with previous version. So I had to rework my mappings and used this opportunity to enhance some functionality. Examples of XML hacking you can't find anywhere on web included in my latest blog post […]

> use more idiomatic code with object spread instead of Object.assign() What an idiom! Show me your docstrings on ...; Google it!

OH: "the documentation is good because everything is in readmes. And there's everything. But maybe it is not good because it isn't in any documentation system. Everything is in readmes..." I'm confused. But I think it's good.

How many more memorials to remember and warn of the horrors of war? Lessons learned, when? Ever? The same patterns repeating, over and over... (This memorial is to remember the Italo/Austrian "White War", part of the WW1 frontline in the Dolomites at 2300m […] [Original post on mastodon.thi.ng]

ČT natočila reportáž o tom, jak nezodpovědní mladí v Praze utrácejí za lattéčka a avokádové tousty, místo aby šetřili na bydlení. Alarm spočítal, že stačí 22.000 dní odepřít si kafe a toust a hned máte na garsonku! V přepočtu je to 60 let […]

Yesterday I got slightly damp in the rain. Now my MBP is destined to be docked until it gets a replacement of the keyboard/touchpad/battery/chassis. No programming in the evenings and weekends for the next six weeks. Lucky me!

New, from me: At least 18 popular JavaScript code packages that are collectively downloaded more than two billion times each week were briefly compromised with malicious software today, after a developer involved in maintaining the projects was phished. The […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

Some thoughtful stuff about passkeys and the identity system, includes a few angles I hadn’t thought of: https://lucumr.pocoo.org/2025/9/2/passkeys/ #identity

The clouds today looked impossibly good. Sky solid blue, perfectly spaced white puffs, just a bit dark on the underside. If you painted a perfect sky, it would look like that. Yes, there are plenty of reasons to be angry or to despair. Yet there is still so much beauty in the world. My advice […]

Software should not require permission to be written. Software should not require permission to be distributed. Software should not have a central entity controlling it. The future is decentralized, fuck your centralized signature verification checks.

There is no universe where I can enrich my relationships with my neighbors by engaging with Twitter-but-GNU. Inscribe this on your eyelids, that you might stay woke even while you sleep: YOU CANNOT SOLVE A SOCIAL PROBLEM WITH SOFTWARE

JS Tagged Literals can be very nice helpers. Here I have tag for properly encoding URL parts: function url(strings, ...values) { return String.raw({ raw: strings }, ...values.map(x => x instanceof URLSearchParams ? x : encodeURIComponent(x))); } const params = new URLSearchParams({ test: "1" […]

„…zatímco Praha v devadesátkách privatizovala byty a nechala si parkování, Vídeň to udělala naopak. Vídeňský systém sociálního bydlení má u nás mnoho odpůrců – ale ne, jak jen může stát zasahovat do trhu, pražský a český systém sociálního parkování je naproti tomu chápán jako základní lidské […]

Governments freeloading on FOSS, not helping with funding (and at the same time collecting taxes on income/donations sourced otherwise) are just as exploitative as privately held companies, maybe even worse... https://scalie.zone/@aks/115012388922867133

I constantly come across complaints that Europe is bad because no tech giants have grown up here. Is it really bad that monopolies that destroy civil society around the world, support genocide and accelerate the destruction of our only, whatever Musks says, habitable pebble in space haven't […]
