Just a quick test as I've moved Bonfire to a new server. Nothing to see here, move along now.
No - wait - is that a ... nope. Really nothing to see here.

@[email protected] I wonder if you could get a good rendition of Azimov era scifi describing the modern world by deliberately translating back and forth from unrelated languages focussing on literal translations.

My week starts with a request: "I need a server to deploy to production, but the devs have no idea how to do it. They don't know how to use the terminal, they don’t know how to handle certificates, nothing. They need to be able to click a few buttons and deploy directly to production. They're Vibe Coding experts."
Welcome to 2026.
@[email protected] @[email protected] What could possibly go wrong?
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] That does sound positive, although I'm a little surprised because every time I've booked accommodation in Italy I've always been met by a real human and had my ID checked. I didn't even realize it was legal to self-checkin now.
@[email protected] Argh. This is why I hate going into the kitchen at times when I'm not medicated.

@[email protected] I'm impressed at my phone keyboard for having misinterpreted 'some' as 'dinner'. The joys of swiping keyboards. Oh well.

Was overwhelmed by a large problem.
Broke it up into small problems.
Now overwhelmed by large number of small problems.

I guess I'm probably more pessimistic about this than both of you. Maintainers aren't always responsive, releases take time to prepare, patches aren't evenly propagated, and even when all fixes are applied companies often wait to update - if at all.
Anyone with a credit card will soon be able to order the exploit vending machine. Projects and orgs that have their shit together will be alright. Many however will not.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Not to be too dark, but hasn't this been true for a while? I'm sure I could find places on the net to buy (or pay people to find) exploits already, and probably roughly as fast. There are a lot of projects/servers or there with less than stellar security, after all. It almost feels like the bigger change is how much it is now public knowledge you can pay for exploits, rather than whether or not you could already.

Turns out that my Boox Note Air 3C actually does a surprisingly good job of running #krita. Slightly laggy displaying the brush strokes but records them accurately, and the e-ink display and roughly A5 form factor means I can draw outside in bright sunlight and on the go.
The e-ink display does make judging colour saturation a little difficult though!
@mavnn Sorry, afraid not!
@[email protected] a shame, but I suspected that would be the case. Supporting that kind of ui slickness across the two different stacks would be a huge pile of work. It looks gorgeous, by the way.

@dstan thank you!! ☺️

Worrying eats up so much energy and I find that part of it very specifically annoying
@[email protected] I would tell the choir to join in on singing the truth of this, but they're all too tired
@HighlandLawyer @passenger @graydon Yup: I suspect it goes back even further than that, too.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Thing is, I can't help suspecting that each time these people are so pleased with themselves for having come up with their very own, very unique, cunning plan.
Y'all are missing out on a major investment opportunity. @[email protected] is already moving to secure her cut of the vegan human rights (and gluten) free alternative brain industry.
I mean, that's got to be worth paying at least for to six times the cost of non-certified brain alternative provision, right? At least based off how much I get charged for gluten free food...
@mavnn will you write my linkedin posts for me? that’s talent
@[email protected] No I strongly suspect that would rapidly cause me permanent damage. But for a small, small, fee of 1 billion dollars I will produce something I like to call a "vegan human rights free brain alternative" that will turn anything you desire into LinkedIn posts with only minor side effects to people who mostly aren't me (such as the collapse of copyright law, psychosis, etc, etc)

@mavnn I power @openbenches using my ActivityBot.
I have a small Python script that looks for new RSS entries every 20 minutes and then posts them that way.
@[email protected] I finally got around to doing something about this, and wanted to say thanks for the discussion and pointing me to activitybot; it lead to a much simpler solution than I'd originally thought of, even if it ended up going in a different direction to activitybot (I'm federating rss by running an ap client rather than an ap server)

Fediverss
Read this post in its full formatted glory at https://blog.mavnn.eu/2026/04/10/fediverss_release.html
You might have noticed that this blog has suddenly acquired a comments section at the end of the articles. I've tried some work arounds in the past - in a previous version of the blog using an external service, or manually linking to fediverse posts made about the blog post - it never sat quite right.
For this version of the blog, I didn't want to force people to create a log in for "my blog" or run a bunch of dedicated comment receiving infrastructure, but I also didn't the comments to be controlled by a third party service with all the archival and privacy concerns that implied.
So I've now built fediverss. This is a program designed to sit on the same server as a static blog automate the process of keep that blog on "the fediverse" via its rss feed. It is very much pre-release quality at the moment, but I'd very much like to polish it up so that it can be deployed easily by non-coders and in environments where running it on the same server as the blog isn't practical. That shouldn't be impossible, especially given that all the dependencies are already managed in Nix, so much this space for future developments.
And, you know, leave a comment via the fediverse if this seems interesting!
@blog In case you're browsing over to the blog because you're curious what the comments look like... they look like this.
