🦙 And now, the fourth rc of the 1.0 release! 399 commits have been made, many bug fixes and a few new features sneaked in as well. Please test as much as you can and report all the bugs! Getting closer to the actual 1.0 release. github.com/go-vikunja/v...

It's that time of the day again

My favorite quote from Chris in this episode: “I believe in the power of programmers. I believe in the human potential of people that want to create things. And that’s fundamentally why I love software is that you can create anything that you can imagine.”

Always great to see even the big companies are getting it wrong.

Every time I'm amazed at how good LLMs are for coding, something like this happens:

On to the next 2,500!

Let me present: Gemma 3, facility manager

github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/pull/1643/files 3 line change, 380 lines of new tests (this was previously under-tested). With Code Agents, there's no excuse to not write tests.

Me searching for full text search databases right now It's all BM25 under the hood! (Most of the time)

AI agents being able to run unit tests is SUCH a massive unlock. If you're a dev who has utilized unit tests heavily: using a tool like Claude Code makes so much sense. And if you don't yet use tests: with AI agents, don't see how you would not do it sooner or later...

A story in six parts:

To get today's RC 2 out of the door, I did 13 PRs - only today. Some were trivial fixes, some were more complicated. For all of them, coding agents did most of the legwork. I mainly supervised and guided.

Because of the great success of 1.0.0-rc1, we proudly present rc2! 🚀 Over 145 commits have been made, most of them bug fixes but also many dependency updates. 🐛 Find all the bugs! Report them so that we can go on and fix them. github.com/go-vikunja/v...

I love when it's buzzing with activity like this.

Vikunja users have been asking for real-time updates, and we're ready to build it! We're seeking sponsors to help bring this to life. If you or your organization use Vikunja and would like to support this improvement, we'd love to talk to you, in the issue or via email. github.com/go-vikunja/v...

oh no how should I work now

I remembered that I have a blog and published something: blog.kolaente.de/2025/09/how-...

The first (second) release candidate of v1.0.0 is now published! Please test thoroughly and report any issues you might find. (rc0 did not get published due to CI issues) github.com/go-vikunja/v...

Wild: tell claude code it should create multiple agents and it goes off and creates multiple mini-claudes to research in parallel

AI programming agents might make you more productive, but they won't make the time spent battling IDEs and dev environment setups (guess who just spent an hour to set it all up?)

Trying out Gemini CLI until...

Underrated LLM use: 1. Vibe-code a vanilla js/html/css prototype of the feature you're building 2. Once it works, ask claude to write a detailed feature spec of it 3. Use the spec to implement the actual thing (or feed it to a coding agent)

Another reason to use @vikunja.io - open source - „woke mind virus“ aka basic human decency - available as template in @coolify.io - available as community node in @n8n.io - no VC - and much more

We've just moved the main Vikunja repo to GitHub - learn more about we did that here: vikunja.io/changelog/mo...

I knew git bisect was cool but TIL about git bisect run, which lets it execute tests and based on the result proceed with the bisect. This + atomic commits + many tests = 🫶

How to tell you're using NixOS without telling you're using NixOS:

Guess which Open-Source project now has 11k commits?

Guess why my Gitea went down earlier today?

und ihr so?

Guess what I'm doing right now?

This is wild - a deanonymization attack leaking the approximate location of users, using Cloudflare. And the affected applications say it's not really within their responsibility to fix. I wonder what could prevent this - probably only using a VPN for everything?

Me, after wondering why nixos-infect didn't seem to work using cloud-init, looks like I hit the wrong server with it 🫠

Good day to upgrade to debian 12 today

...Eurer Nutzernamen für Ende-zu-Ende verschlüsselte Messenger wie z.B. Threema oder Signal nutzen und die Konversation dort fortsetzen. Das empfehle ich insbesondere Journalist:innen, Politiker:innen, NGOs und politischen Aktivisten. 3/3 #Bluesky-Tipp

Die Bafin hat heute ihr neues Vergleichsportal zu Girokonten veröffentlicht. Spannend daran ist IMHO weniger die Website und mehr, dass man die Daten als 12mb csv herunterladen und selbst auswerten kann. Schauen wir mal… kontenvergleich.bafin.de/de

I just discovered this and this is so much better and worse than cookie clickers or the paperclip game: neal.fun/stimulation-...

General consensus in the replies and quotes of this seems to be that the entire concept of "AI skills" is a joke - how hard is typing text into a chatbot, really? I will continue to argue that it's genuinely difficult, and that the challenge in using these tools is widely underestimated

🚨 Important security update! 🚨 I've just released a security fix which may have allowed other users to access Vikunja data. Update as soon as you can, especially for multi-user instances. More info 👇 vikunja.io/changelog/vi...

Well this is interesting

My brain right now

Doing a db migration from an old structure to a new structure. After starting it, I noticed it takes around 30s per 100 entries - because we have 250k entries in that table, migrating would take almost 24h.

when is the uptime of a server problematic? asking for a friend

I've just deleted 700 lines of my own code, whew that felt bad

Google has just put themselves on the front of the AI race again - the multimodality of their new Gemini 2.0 Flash model is *wild*. You can talk to the model or show it live stuff as if it was an actually useful assistant. developers.googleblog.com/en/the-next-...

In today's episode of "why is this so complicated": I just had to recompile vlc to be able to play Blu-Rays.
