hey "haha github uptime lol" and all that but this is serious: some pull request merges were completely mangled yesterday and the repo may not be in the state that its maintainers expect. If your project processed any updates yesterday, please double-check https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/zsg1lk7w13cf

@[email protected] @[email protected] I once had a website pop up a dialog that warned me that I was receiving a "degraded" experience because "no ads are loading". insert Princess Bride meme here

@[email protected] I'm looking into the fact that my instance isn't federating to tags.pub anymore, and the error I'm getting is from github.com/evanp/activitypub... (where the signature checking code changed around the time I started getting errors)

I'm looking at the Bonfire code and it appears we're caching information about what signatures to send; is it possible that because I already followed @[email protected] before the changes at the #tagspub end, my instance is sending the wrong signature? And if so, is there anything I can do to 'refresh' the cache?

That said, I suppose I have literally lifted the plates up. One thing that is very common here in Italy that I've never seen in the UK is that the cupboard section directly above our sink has a draining rack and drip tray built in, so that the work surfaces are kept clear even while stuff is drying. It's a very neat solution to the issue that in reality you nearly always have a mix of clean, dirty, and just washed crocery whilst a lot of kitchen layouts assume that the kitchen is going to be completely clear before you start using it.

I have washing up’d! (Raised the plates? Levitated the dishes? Why do we wash ‘up’ anyway?)

English be weird. And yes, it may seem strange to some of you that having done the washing up is worth celebrating but sometimes it most definitely is: blog.mavnn.eu/2022/10/14/adh... #adhd #chronicfatigue

Aha. Testing if this fixes the federation errors I've been seeing 😊 #tagspub

We can get so much for it on the open market!

@[email protected] you're making me doubt again now, which is harsh but fair given the current state of things. It kind of smells of someone who wants to be able to pass it off as a joke (or even thinks it is funny) but wants to leave it ambiguous enough that people who think it's a good idea pay them. Which means either I'm a cynic or they are and neither option leaves me all that happy.

@[email protected] I think we can call those the correct way, the other correct way, and wrong

@[email protected] it says something about the current state of the world that I wasn't sure even at the first mention of the CEO setting whether it was a joke or not. I'm glad the person appears to actually have a sense of humour, but I have to admit I still find charging money for jokes like this a bit... uncomfortable?.. even if it's just to cover costs.

🚨npm @\bitwarden/cli compromised: https://opensourcemalware.com/npm/@bitwarden/cli

[Update: official statement: https://community.bitwarden.com/t/bitwarden-statement-on-checkmarx-supply-chain-incident/96127]

Well, apparently Google is now at the point in the domain moving process where it has (after months) started admitting that the canonical urls from the new domain are the correct ones (what was the point of me telling you about the move and proving ownership of both again?).

It is still indexing them at the old domain, and showing that url in the search results though, which means it refuses to show any results that have only been published on the new domain. #search

A word immediately popped into my head I don't think I've ever used before. Yeet. As in into the sun.

Craving work-life balance is a huge red flag, says Fortune 500 Europe CEO

@[email protected] @[email protected] I love the way that all the other quotes are "I'm a totally insane one track money making machine, you should be too!" and then Obama's quote is "eh, sometimes you need to focus on one thing for a while if it's important to you" and the writer decided to stick it in just so they could get the click bait 'Obama agees!" in the headline...

Just had one of those epiphany moments in #zig as I looked at a problem and realised 'hang on a minute - that thing I read in the docs and didn't fully understand about arena allocators was talking about this, wasn't it?'

The ability to swap out which allocators I'm using is giving me a level of both confidence and practicality I wasn't really expecting in my first venture into manual memory management. I know I'm not always being as efficient as I could theoretically be, but I'm pretty sure there aren't leaks and I'm still using around 40 times less memory than the previous #fsharp version (although that's a little unfair - short run time console app is about the least favourable comparison space for runtime versus fully compiled native code)
