I'm looking forward to #FOSDEM. We're bringing some easy to carry merch, loads of stickers, and even leaflets I designed. Definitely come by Mastodon's stand if you're there ☺️ We're going to be in building F this time.
Every single tech advocate carrying water for OpenAI and their products should be thinking about who they’re giving publicity to. Because I sure am. https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/867947/openai-president-greg-brockman-trump-super-pac
This brings back memories. Before Python had async/await, before asyncio became standard, I was happily writing concurrent code with gevent. I actually preferred it.
The reason was simple: no function color problem. With async/await, you split the world into two kinds of functions—ones that block by default and ones that don't. You have to mark the latter with async and remember to await them. With gevent, everything just blocks by default, and you spawn when you need concurrency. It's the same mental model as multithreading, just lighter. Project Loom in Java does something similar, though the technical details differ.
I sometimes wonder what Python would look like if it had embraced gevent-style coroutines in CPython instead of adding async/await. Or if Stackless Python had been accepted upstream. Maybe async programming would be more approachable today.
The explicit await keyword gives you visibility into where context switches can happen, sure. But in practice, I/O points are obvious even without the keyword—you're reading from a socket, querying a database, making an HTTP request. The explicitness doesn't really prevent race conditions or timing bugs. Meanwhile, function colors infect everything. One async library forces your entire call stack to be async. You end up maintaining both sync and async versions of the same code, or the ecosystem just splits in two.
With gevent, there's no such problem. You just call functions. Spawn them if you want concurrency, call them normally if you don't. Go's goroutines and Project Loom are popular for good reasons—they make concurrency accessible without the cognitive overhead.
Python's choice is history now, and there's no going back. But looking at how things turned out, I can't help but think the more practical path was right there, and we walked past it.

What I'm listening to today: "Teletext Rhythms"
This YouTuber's bio: "I am a terrible but ambitious programmer and procrastinating musician.
In order to avoid finishing music, I decided to write a sequencer for the Nintendo 3DS to keep myself busy."
But I dunno, I think they're doing pretty well. Here's a 20-minute live set (in the sense a DJ set is live) in the Noise Commander prototype running on a 2DS. Good hiphop-aware grooves and some lovely electronic production
What I'm listening to today: "Kraftwerk"
Kraftwerk is known for a Specific Sound, their genre-defining electronic work. Did you know before they acquired/learned the electronics they just made prog music? Really good prog music? Florian Schneider's main instrument was the flute? Their first¹ album from 1970 has all the attention to feeling and timbre of electronic music but it's all Instruments and tape. If it sounds like Can that's because they used the same producer.

“‘좋아서 하는 거잖아요.’
이 말은 마치 주문처럼 모든 부당함을 정당화한다. 좋아서 한다는 이유로 정당한 대가를 포기해야 한다는 논리. 예술은 직업이 아니라 취미라는 듯, 우리의 시간과 노동을 무가치하게 만드는 이 말은 결국 폭력이다.”

Rant:
I take dance classes a few times a week. I always wear a KF94 mask. I know it isn’t perfect, but those are the ones that fit my face best and, at least from my experience so far, they seem to sufficiently protect me against germs from people who are pre- or a-symptomatic. However: I have the rule that if somebody tells me that they are sick, I leave. Today was such a day. I arrived, talked to someone, and a few minutes into the conversation they volunteered that they are sick, so I got dressed and left again.
I know there’s worse things in the world, but I’m still annoyed. Especially because of the attitude that I get when I explain this. People tell me that I don’t have to apologise for my behaviour. I mean… I wasn’t planning to. So I just say nothing and leave, but it feels really shitty.
I know that people also censor any photos and videos taken at events. As in: if I’m in it, they don’t upload them, because I don’t look “gezellig” enough. I don’t mind that pics and vids of me aren’t shared publicly, but the reason pisses me off.
Has Go's all.bash passed on current FreeBSD systems in a default configuration since Go 1.23 or even earlier? I don't know for sure but I suspect not. I get consistent dial_test failures that far back (and I haven't gone further).
Do I know what's going on? No. Do I want to diagnose this? Also no. And if it's been happening this long, is it useful to report it? Meh, I dunno, and I don't know if Go would accept the report anyway.
So good to see a YouTuber saying this openly and doing something with their platform https://www.patreon.com/posts/149172725

Hello, it's me. I'm the one training the resistance in the diabolically professional OPSEC of setting disappearing messages in the Signal group chat.
Hi everyone,
I’m very happy to announce that Aya (
@rania40“a Gazan student” aya) will be joining our little team of volunteers at Gaza Verified¹ to help us carry out verification calls.
Aya is in Gaza herself with her family (she’s 
@RaniaRania rizq’s daugher) and she’s studying to be an English translator.
You can find her fundraiser (which is run for her by 
@kathimmelit's kat! 🇵🇸✊) at:
https://chuffed.org/project/161851-help-aya-go-to-uni-and-survive-in-gaza
Welcome to the team, Aya, and thank you so much for volunteering your time and effort to help others in Gaza while facing the exact same unspeakable hardship yourself.
💕

I think I might switch my mailservers over to SmarterMail. It has this dandy feature that allows resetting the admin pass, remotely, without authorization.
I am fed up with forgetting the password to my OpenSMTPD+Dovecot root account - at least this will give me a solid experience.
