Since I recently learned you can just buy trophies, I’ve bestowed the Adaptability and Resilience Award on my husband. His acceptance speech is as follows:
“Oh my god, you actually did that? This thing is huge! Why did you buy this?”
Some of you may have noticed that — at the end of August, I stopped posting as much. And, at times, not posting at all.
My life got a lot more "busy" than before. And, it will probably be a while until it gets less busy.
...
About 7 people previously messaged me — to whom I haven't responded yet.
(You know who you are 🙂)
Realistically, it will probably be a while until I can respond.
I wish it were otherwise, but — that is how things are, for me, right now.
I've noticed this is a common point of confusion, so for the record, the EU's USB-C charging law does not in any way prohibit other charging methods. It only mandates that if there are any ports on the thing at all, at least one of them better be friggin' USB-C

I need some kind of script for auto-migrating a repo and its branches to codeberg and leaving behind stubs but that sounds like work

Does anyone have experience migrating entire Mastodon instances from one domain to another?
Looking for advice on migrating user accounts and I'm wondering if I just set the new instance up in parallel, close registration and hand over invite codes... or is there a better way?

TIL about Shifting Baseline Syndrome, and it's immediately my new favourite lens on JS-based web development (and the ills thereof):

Started to touch FreeBSD jail and Bhyve VMs, using them for some programming project. Damn, if only I have such unlimited power near 15 years ago, when I was in university!
Need to have a building environment with some libraries for FastCGI and PostgreSQL installed? No problem, write a Bastillefile which enables sshd and mounts my catalog with projects inside the jail via the nullfs magic. Then create thin jail, apply this template to it and boom — I have a ready development environment with ssh access and all necessary stuff. Just connect to it and build the program, all necessary sources are already here.
Need to test program on the NetBSD? No problem — just create Bhyve VM with preinstalled netbsd template, then install OS with comp set and setup some services: Nginx, PostgreSQL, spawn-fcgi, etc… Then type C-x d /ssh:drag0n@10.0.0.2:~ in the Emacs, copy sources via Dired and I can test my program on the environment, as close as possible to the my home server.
All things looks so integrated in the OS and console software are so good, that it is incomparable with my Docker trips at work 
When programming become fun again 
The way I want to go about writing code is by building up a library of things I've done before and copying the things I've done before into new projects. The most straightforward way to do this is to look through your own previous source repos.
I am kinda badly fucked on doing this by the fact that Bitbucket banned all my repos for the crime of using hg circa 2020, and then this year I started moving the repos I had just finished moving to github to codeberg

The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet.
The lawmakers write: “Any relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM using that device.”

@mcc There's quite a few PNG optimisers that will do this for you. If there's 256 colours or fewer, it almost always makes sense to convert the image to paletted mode (which can still retain alpha translucency – my avatar image makes use of this).
@mcc presumably yes, though if the compression is working well I expect it doesn't make much difference
As in, if every pixel is 373737 or ababab then that's exactly the kind of thing that zlib ought to be very good at identifying runs of and copying from history
We had a similar experience when adding PNG screenshot support to Chocolate Doom, where we found that scaling screenshots up from 320x200 to 1600x1200 (to get aspect ratio correct) had almost no effect on file size
Finally… and long overdue. Anti‑drone corridors are being established around Kharkiv as part of stepped‑up measures to protect the city from UAV attacks.

The FreeBSD Foundation’s latest laptop project aims to make FreeBSD run perfectly on almost any laptop right from the first install. This could be the next alternative to Linux for those who want full Unix-like experience without systemd or stuff like that.

Soooo... #JustBetweenUs There's already some big stuff in the works for 2026:
The Social Web Foundation (@swf) has kicked off a project to bring real end-to-end encryption to the Fediverse. It's a big undertaking, with real financial backing from the 
@sovtechfundSovereign Tech Agency
Check out the announcement: https://socialwebfoundation.org/2025/12/19/implementing-encrypted-messaging-over-activitypub/
And, I'm very excited that #Emissary is one of the projects selected to participate in the work alongside the 
@bonfire team.

What will this mean? We're working with extensions to ActivityPub to bring top-tier encryption into the Fediverse - the same industry standard that powers Android, Apple, Discord, and others.
We're aiming to release our first versions mid-year.
#Bonfire and #Emissary are great choices because each is a sort of "application builder" that can be molded to fit many different situations. It's going to be a massive undertaking, but I'm looking forward to the results
