Developers are often joking about bugs caused by solar flares, this time it’s no joke.

Quick review of the RISC-V OrangePi RV2 and Linux

git: 52f8c56b66b5 - Create tag release/15.0.0 #FreeBSD 15 release tagged! 😈

This is so smart, a CSI driver for Kubernetes, built on top of rclone bringing cloud storage mounts to your pods with ease.

A fast TTS that works everywhere even slow CPU, with code to run using many programming languages (via ONNX), C, Rust, Go, js, Swift ...

Great blog post from Huggingface about how LLMs process tokens for inferences

Meta release SAM 3, a model for detection, segmentation, and tracking of objects in images and video, and SAM 3D, which can reconstruct objects and humans in 3D (Mike Wheatley/SiliconANGLE) Main Link | Techmeme Permalink

GDAL 3.12.0 "Chicoutimi" is now available. Chicoutimi, QC, Canada is the home town of the second major contributor to GDAL – Daniel Morissette.

This project provides a tool to automatically instrument Go applications with OpenTelemetry at compile time. It modifies the Go build process to inject OpenTelemetry code into the application without requiring manual changes to the source code. github.com/open-telemet...

Bissell are sold for pets, all the marketing is about pets. I don't have pets, I have a kid, why nobody told me about that thing! I just needed a Bissell in my life.

Using kaitai.io to create a parser for ZIM files, almost there. I did write one manually in Go, several years ago. There is a twist though, the Kaitai one was 100% AI generated with Qwen Max and Gemini 😲

SQLite Litestream 0.5 does support sending updates to NATS object store (not just S3)! litestream.io/guides/nats/

Helix select in Zed editor has been merged github.com/zed-industri... Probably the biggest missing feature for my workflow.

Experimenting with a custom generated VFR map, only high buildings are displayed at proper zoom level, airports are visible at all zoom levels ... ILS and RNAV data ...

Last night I've tested Qwen3 Next on a complex coding task, involving a C++ SDK and CGO, Gemini 2.5 pro completely hallucinated an answer and faked the code, where Qwen outputs did compile and did work first shot. Next can run on consumer hardware 😲

My defunct iOS satellite pass prediction SatSat is back as WebSat and available at websat.inair.space #radioamateur It provides transponder frequencies with Doppler effects.

As an ex Pythonista, one reason against async adoption is really that you have to taint all functions with async then maintain two APIs. The same problem exists in the Rust ecosystem. tonybaloney.github.io/posts/why-is...

After several months of Helix I realize I can't use vim anymore, it does not make any sense, sorry for the vim ppl offended :)

Oh yeah things are falling apart. You've got paranoid guys on Blind freaking out now

We just published a deep dive on spatial joins in DuckDB by @maxxen.bsky.social. In this blog post, Max explains how spatial joins evolved in DuckDB and how the current operator harnesses R-Trees. Read the full post at duckdb.org/2025/08/08/s...

Someone shared her presentation, too if you haven’t seen it: m.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZeH...

Elevation for all! I've published an elevation API that you can self-host github.com/akhenakh/ged... using peerj.com/articles/196... GEDTM30 dataset #gis

Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507 is pure joy, can run on consumer hardware, non-thinking (not too much token consumed) yet kind of self fixing itself. What a time to be alive!

Here is my take at a Square Tile Grid Map of Canada #map

My name is Rob Pike and I approve this message.

SatSat for the web is in progress!

I just solved a complex/boring DevOps deployment issue, involving Helm, kube-state-metrics and custom CRDs, it could have taken me hours to figure it out. I've used Gemini 2.5 pro as a debug buddy, and it did it.

Working on a new non iOS SatSat (Sat passes prediction software) #hamradio

PIGO8 a fantasy console like for #golang, built on top of ebitengine, inspired by PICO-8 but extending it. With a great documentation.

Reminder you can visualize any data with duckdb ui with one line: duckdb -cmd "CREATE VIEW trees AS FROM 'trees.parquet';" -ui

I've enhanced my radio amateur Canadian license website, with the advanced questions #hamradio 🇨🇦

A TUI Github gh command extension for PRs dlvhdr.github.io/gh-dash/

Every time I read about MCP Model Context Protocol, I can't stop thinking about Tron MCP Master Control Program

There's another try at bare metal support for #golang from the TamaGo folks. GOOS=none! Sample reply on the issue from @filippo.abyssdomain.expert: "running Go applications sandboxed as Firecracker micro VMs and writing memory-safe UEFI bootloader firmware in Go is extremely exciting to me."

Just realized Koanf (config management library for Go) has many providers, including NATS KV and a watcher option built in! #golang

I’ve created a website to train for the Canadian Radio Amateur License. It’s a bit different from others, it shows the choices only on demand. And give explanations for the right answer. #hamradio 🇨🇦

Interesting idea, a 7b model pre trained on HTML and Tailwind CSS to generate UI

I am amazed every day by LLMs for code power, but I just helped a coworker, to debug a Rust-C-Go issue, better than any existing LLMs. Take that Skynet!

Reminder, mainly for Americans, what they called North (🇨🇦) most populated area are actually lower than most Europe: 46.8131° N, 71.2075° W Quebec 48.8575° N, 2.3514° E Paris

Realizing some people are rooting for the Empire when watching Star Wars. It would explain a lot…

Cross compiling RISC-V static Go binary with Zig and Musl: GOOS=linux GOARCH=riscv64 CGO_ENABLED=1 CC="zig cc -target riscv64-linux-musl" go build -o narun-risc-v --ldflags '-linkmode=external -extldflags=-static' What a time be alive!

Releasing a new experiment: Narun is a lightweight gateway (autonomous or on top of Caddy) that bridges incoming HTTP or gRPC requests to backend services built using the NATS Micro framework. github.com/akhenakh/narun

I really hope Synadia, the company behind NATS will come back to reason. They are trying to get NATS back from the CNCF :( www.cncf.io/blog/2025/04...

OrangePi RV2 is here!! 8 cores RISC-V

Added a LanguageTool API LSP
