Hey everyone, so my time with Vantage comes to an end at the end of this month. I feel so lucky to have worked on the stuff I did. I am looking for full time work. If anyone knows anyone, my DMs are open. People at Vantage are able to vouch for me and the services/experiences I can produce.

I tried to support with Maolan, but I failed. The iced doesn't use WGPU on this operating system, and using tiny-skia doesn't show the window in my VM. If anybody patches iced/WGPU on OpenBSD, I'd be grateful if they would let me know so I can try again.

I don't think the UK media have made nearly enough noise about the US Navy sinking an *unarmed* Iranian warship and then, in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions, leaving them to drown.

This is a heinous war crime which the media would be rightly up in arms about if any country that wasn't nominally an "ally" had done it.

@liaizonwakest ⁂ asks me to weigh in on this over here bsky.app/profile/wake.st/post/

My friend, you know not what you ask of me. If I wrote about this it would not be "ATproto conference taking Google money bad" it would be a 500 page piece called "There Is No Ethical Fundraising Under Capitalism" that people will blame me for being simultaneously overly sympathetic and damning

wakest (@wake.st)

hey @dustyweb.bsky.social, you did a good job of making some meta discussion pop off about stuff last week, I feel like you weighing in here might be useful!

@cwebberChristine Lemmer-Webber @liaizonwakest ⁂ Ah, the good old ADHD curse of being either completely unable to get anything done, or doing such a hyperdetailed deep dive considering all angles (including from the point of view of spatial hyperdimensions discovered along the way), that nobody is able to sift through the actual mountain of output unless they're also people with ADHD going through the same thing.

If you run BIND, you may wonder what kinds of improvements you'll see when upgrading from one version to another. Occasionally we like to publish benchmark test results to help with those decisions.

We've just posted a blog on BIND 9.20 resolver performance compared to 9.18. tl;dr: under mid- to heavy traffic loads, 9.20 has even lower latency than 9.18, particularly while starting up.

Read more about our performance benchmarking at isc.org/blogs/2026-03-05-bind-

Thanks for using ISC's software!

BIND 9.20 Resolver performance compared to 9.18

In this post, we will show that BIND 9.20 compares favorably with 9.

It may well be true that we're observing the terminal arc which leads to the implosion and death of the FOSS movement. But suggestion that the deciding factor isn't the attack from without, but a variable from within - the socio-political cluelessness of the movement's own participants. Yesterday's demand to "keep politics out of it" is today's embrace of AI psychosis

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

scientificamerican.com/article

Long exposure photography composite showing light trails from low-Earth orbit satellites filling the sky, a treeline is in silhouette at the bottom of the frame

Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky

Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

@lcamtuflcamtuf :verified: :verified: :verified: I understand why people think this, but I actually don't think it's true at all. It only seems that way when you encounter a new subject for the first time, and the unfamiliar jargon makes your head spin. But properly getting your head round something like tropical geometry is SO much harder than remembering the terminology, that really even if the terminology were somehow so magically perfect that it took no effort at all to learn, the overall difficulty of learning the material would be identical up to a rounding error.

@shriramkShriram Krishnamurthi @tonygTony Garnock-Jones @GeorgWeissenbacher @krismicinski@types.pl @jfdmJan de Muijnck-Hughes @csgordonColin Gordon @jeremysiekJeremy This comment made me realize something about myself: this is *not* a kind of programming I always wished I could do. I really only like programming because I like manipulating formal systems. That might explain a lot about why this kind of programming doesn't appeal to me, aside from all the bad externalities.

Me: Does anyone know why each call to float('nan') gives a different instance?
Core Devs: discuss.python.org/t/question-

I guess I have a lot more fodder than I bargained for for that talk I'm working on.

Question about `float('nan')`

I am working on a talk I would like to give at PyOhio about float(‘nan’) and I was wondering if anyone knows why each call to float(‘nan’) returns a different instance? TIA.

No to ID checks for web

Tell your MP:

action.openrightsgroup.org/no-

No ID Checks for Web Access

Take action! What’s the problem? The Government has proposed amendments to the Children Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which would give Ministers the power to restrict access to "internet services". This is supposed to give the Government the power to ban under 16s from social media but “internet services" is a very broad definition, which means any online platform can be included. The wording of the amendment means they could do this without even having to prove that these sites are harmful for children.
