This physically catapulted me into 2003

Here's another issue that will make nobody at all mad: https://github.com/facet-rs/facet/issues/1122

Any idea what the right default is for YAML? I went with k8s stuff but... idk.

#Holos app is getting really close to its beta release. You can now quote posts, create polls, and attach media with alt text descriptions. Opening a conversation shows you the full thread with all replies. Delete requests between servers are working properly, along with all other ActivityPub communications. The federation layer is solid - posts, likes, boosts, follows all sync correctly with remote instances like Mastodon.

Is it useful for a Unix sysadmin to know how to use ed(1) and do basic things with it? Sure. Sometimes ed(1) is all you have or is your best choice. Is it a priority for a sysadmin to learn ed(1), given that there are so many other things to learn in this field? I don't know, but I feel much less certain. There's a ton of things in system administration that are 'useful' to know, too many for any one person to actually know.

Oh wow. We were just talking about the "Law of Demeter" in compilers this morning and then that Cloudflare outage report just dropped in our lap. https://blog.cloudflare.com/5-december-2025-outage/

For context: writing a compiler potentially involves a lot of complicated data structure manipulation and it's really easy to get buried in too many layers of nested attribute lookups on objects. Doing that often indicates an abstraction wart of some sort.

We've been getting asked a lot lately: why #Holos?
Your social data stays on your device. You own it, it's private, you decide what happens with it. This unlocks powerful local tools that shared servers can't offer. Since ActivityPub does not lock you into one format, we take full advantage. Same account, but the interface can change in a tap. Text feed, photo grid, video player. One identity, your rules. That's our goal, and we're getting closer every day.

The year is 2025. Apple hasn't figured out fuzzy matching in the System Settings search bar.

Fediverse Report #145 - this week's #fediverse news:

- @holos is a project currently in development that allows you to run an #activitypub server on your phone
- More on Threads' user statistics, which do indicate the platform's popularity in Asia

https://connectedplaces.online/reports/fediverse-report-145/

Often a big bottleneck for progress in #OpenSource projects isn't getting contributions so much as it's getting _reviewers_ for those contribs.

Has your project tried anything to decrease the time a contribution waits for review? What's worked for you? What hasn't?

Good news everyone! We hit our first milestone: maintenance is 100% funded. Thank you all ❤️

Next up: unlock the stretch goal to co‑design federated groups: community‑owned spaces to organise across the fediverse, with no server or platform lock‑in.

Read about why this matters and how it can empower communities: https://bonfirenetworks.org/posts/why-community-matters-groups-as-the-next-step-for-the-fediverse/

god the keyboard focus on fedi is SOOOOO bad

in my understanding rustc uses some nested arenas to great effect and for certain kinds of memory access patterns, they're fantastic. but i do think that some people end up deciding that they're the be-all end-all of memory management, and that's just not the case

I'm routinely impressed by the work The Ocean Cleanup (and critically their local partners!) is doing.

Having less plastic in the oceans seems like an insurmountable problem, but they're trying. I think they work they're doing on very polluted rivers is key, and interesting. It's a lot easier to stop plastic from getting into the ocean than it is to sweep it out later.

hot take incoming arenas are good. but they aren't the second coming of linus. they're not always optimal. people find out about them and get way too excited about arena-ing all the things. heck, the stack is just a built-in arena. that's why it's good.

I'm not an artist, but definitely feel angry when I see AI generated art. I am a musician and feel the same as you when anyone talks about AI generated music (have thankfully avoided listening to any thus far).

There's no talent or skill or years of practice. And it's shit to boot. Souless and empty even if technically 'good'.

Keep doing art anyway, this bubble will burst eventually 🤗

I just realized that my short reflection on my journey through space with @djangonautDjangonaut Space is part of this week’s issue.

I wasn’t expecting this.

I’m very grateful for the opportunity and the experience.

I recommend #djangonautspace to anyone interested in contributing to Django.

While on one level this story of a AI-generated picture of a bridge collapse (after the earthquake centred near Morecambe Bay on Wednesday night) leading to train cancelations seems relatively minor, its an example of the sort of disruption that the use of AI is already generating.... we may soon find that having no real trust in any images will cause all sorts of social problems (which is not to say that disruption is not already evident).
