Miss my trivia buddy 😭

Just ran my first 5k in 18 years 🫩🥱😵😮‍💨🪫🪫🪫

The WAR ON WALKING has taken many forms around the world. All sorts of scales, contexts, policies, designs, rules and laws… in culture, in priorities, in norms & expectations.

And certainly in budgets.

In almost everything. But it’s often as simple as how we signal who space is and isn’t for.

Once our eyes are opened to all the ways we’ve prioritized cars over people, we can’t unsee it.

The Caltrain announcement keeps telling me to have a good Friday night. I'm pretty sure it's Thursday morning, but I'm still a bit worried I'm about to find out I'm very late...

I won't explicitly say why Arch Linux refused DHH's sponsorship offer. It's not my place to do so.

But it shouldn't be hard to figure out.

If you want to try the maintainer-container, the docs are here:

https://llore.docs.kernel.org/

It's still pretty early stages, and the feature set is fairly minimal. However, this will let you set up local list mirrors and access them via MCP to give you that ability to do things like "show me a summary of all new series sent to my subsystems today".

The first day of #kr2026 is nearly finished. You can have a look back on today talks

I made a microprocessor and want to tell you all about it!

Video covers at a high level HDL and programming, synthesis/layout and bringup

It was a lot of work, but really fun! 10/10, would recommend everyone tape out some custom silicon 😊 Especially since you get to play around with weird and different architectures that you can't just buy off the shelf

One of the coolest things to happen in Spade yet 👀 @breakingtaps wrote and taped out a Transport Triggered Architecture processor from scratch in a month with 0 prior experience!

This video is also one of the better intros to digital hardware design I've seen, certainly much better than some of the things people who teach this stuff have made :)

Anyone have an arm64 dev box they like?

I'd just be SSHing into it and running builds/tests, so pretty much just something well supported by standard distros would be ideal (and runs KVM, so I can test kernels). It'd be within earshot so I'd like it to be somewhat quiet, and ideally have some way to get decently fast storage/networking on it.

GNOME 51 released! Look forward to faster screen recordings, an Auto Rotate option for screens with accelerometers, offline maps, and much more.

Check out our release video! 👉️ https://tube.kockatoo.org/w/5vARny78Rv2215JwEwNh8t
Full release notes 👉️ https://release.gnome.org/51/

We spent the last 6 months polishing the experience, to make it more accessible and more user-friendly. Unlike the current tech industry, we go slow and fix things! (1/3)

We recently updated our bot policy on toot.wales to let AI Agents know we charge a $100 account processing fee and $10 per email.

Here's an email I got from one of them.

Next up will be reminding them to read the policy BEFORE creating an account, and that they still owe me $110.

Some of these bots have access to money, so I'm told - EDIT turns out they don't :o( /EDIT - so I'll be attempting to support the cost of handling this nonsense by charging them for communicating with the team.

I love the fediverse. Where else can you witness someone called "Kitty koder" accuse @bagder of infantilism and being a "not real software engineer."

FOSDEM 2027 Call for Devrooms
https://fosdem.org/2027/news/call-for-devrooms/

Five years ago today, the Great Walkway (now Sunset Dunes) opened for its first weekend-only run. I was there for the gate closing and the drivers were so irate. Since then there have been multiple elections, court cases, and commission hearings about this park, and the car brainers have lost every time.

There will be another vote this November. Proposition G. The car brainers will lose again.

They need to get a new hobby.

they call it single sign-on because YOU HAVE TO SIGN ON EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN TIME

#FOSSY2026 Picolibc - a C library for embedded systems - Keith Packard
https://2026.fossy.ca/schedule/presentation/384/

Building an embedded C library. Why? AltOS 8051 moved to ARM. Newlib too large. Some AltOS targets have only 4kB RAM. Malloc is unacceptable in safety-critical systems. Partially derived from AVR stdio (made POSIX 2018/C23), newlib math. Small as practical, bounded recursion, don't rely on a file system. -Werror or bust. Enable -fanalyzer (storage leaks, unbalanced locking). Own ubsan implementation (just trap). Use symbol attributes (nonnull, format, etc.) So many tests. Every change needs a test. More test code than source code. Linux syscall layer for x86 and arm.
