Novoročné predsavzatia 2026
Uff nie, čo si pamätám tak nikdy som si nedával. No ale - to obdobie po novom roku je tak hluché obdobie kde sa nič nedeje, že sa priam ponúka robiť nejaké zmeny vo svojom živote. Proste keď niekedy, tak vtedy.
A tak napr. Od Nového roku sa budem snažiť obmedziť pivo po večeroch. Doteraz to bolo také že "ahhh idú sviatky, mám dosť iných stresov a príležitostí na ten alkohol ako firemné večierky" ale teraz na to bude perfektná chvíľa
Keď som bol dieťa tak som si dával predsavzatia, ale už dávno nie. Pred pár rokmi som si proste začal robiť osobné ročné plány, z čoho sa postupne vyvinuli vzdelávacie ročné plány. Snažím sa ich dodržiavať, ale stáva sa mi, že počas roka nájdem ešte lepšiu príležitosť, alebo sa vyskytuje veľká prekážka, tak viaceré veci nestihnem dokončiť.
Čiastočne je to o balancovaní medzi prácou a tvorbou infraštruktúry pre prácu. Som ochotný teraz obetovať nejaké výsledky, aby som si uľahčil prácu a trochu neskôr dosahoval ešte väčšie výsledky.
digest: fix OWS and escaped quote handling by trxvorr · Pull Request #20102 · curl/curl

We should talk about Werner Koch's response gpg.fail on the oss-security mailing list.
openwall.com/lists/oss-securit…
Yes, and actually the only serious bug from their list.
Koch either didn't watch the talk, he is in such defense of his own ego that he can't see how serious the bugs were, or he's tacitly admitting that PGP is not a serious recommendation.
Can you distinguish between these three explanations?
Could it be all of them are true?
ImpactWhile this may allow remote code execution (RCE), it definitively causes memory corruption.
Good research.
I think this sarcastic quip is what reveals Werner Koch's opinion about the security researchers and their work.
The rest of his email is measured (and partly responding to other mailing list participants rather than the disclosure directly).

Slop drives me crazy and it feels like 95+% of bug reports, but man, AI code analysis is getting really good. There are users out there reporting bugs that don't know ANYTHING about our stack, but are great AI drivers and producing some high quality issue reports.
This person (linked below) was experiencing Ghostty crashes and took it upon themselves to use AI to write a python script that can decode our crash files, match them up with our dsym files, and analyze the codebase for attempting to find the root cause, and extracted that into an Agent Skill.
They then came into Discord, warned us they don't know Zig at all, don't know macOS dev at all, don't know terminals at all, and that they used AI, but that they thought critically about the issues and believed they were real and asked if we'd accept them. I took a look at one, was impressed, and said send them all.
This fixed 4 real crashing cases that I was able to manually verify and write a fix for from someone who -- on paper -- had no fucking clue what they were talking about. And yet, they drove an AI with expert skill.
I want to call out that in addition to driving AI with expert skill, they navigated the terrain with expert skill as well. They didn't just toss slop up on our repo. They came to Discord as a human, reached out as a human, and talked to other humans about what they've done. They were careful and thoughtful about the process.
People like this give me hope for what is possible. But it really, really depends on high quality people like this. Most today -- to continue the analogy -- are unfortunately driving like a teenager who has only driven toy go-karts.

This is the first open source story I am hearing w/ a positive results from someone using LLMs to generate bug reports.
We have been struggling in LLVM w/ low quality LLM submissions. Curl completely banned them b/c it was so bad: mastodon.social/@LukaszOlejnik…
My biggest issue is how ridiculously verbose LLM submissions can be. Even ones that don't have obvious errors are soo long that if every submission was that long it would have significant impact on throughput.
Clearly someone using it thoughtfully can do excellent work but I am seeing very little evidence this is happening much.
My cat loves to play this "damsel in distress" game, where he runs outside in the rain and waits until he gets soaked, and then runs back in and bellows until I fluff him with a towel. Then he's in heaven. He loves it so much, that as soon as he's done, runs back outside and does it again. He LIVES for drama.
But the best part for me is saying in a German-type accent, "I am here to fluff (clap) YOU up!" But he doesn't get the reference. Because he's Gen Alpha.
I will most likely be picking up an electric guitar for the first time in ages soon. All my guitars are still in storage, possibly forever.
Thus, any recommendations on cool electric guitar processing plugins would be appreciated. Cheap or free would be great, since I don't really have a budget right now, but whatever.
I'll primarily be working in Reaper and Logic, both on Mac OS.
I really wish everyone would stop making fun of the people they don't like based on their physical appearance.
We really need to collectively grow up from this high-school bully mindset.
When you use appearance instead of ideas and behaviors to criticize someone, even someone deserving mockery, you are also shooting at everyone who might look like them, even the ones that might be incredibly good people.
There is more than enough content to talk against when it comes to the tyrants that currently surround us. Talk against their ideas, their words, and their actions. Be relentless for that. But their physical appearance is irrelevant to their moral deficiencies.
Mock their words, but not their looks.

RE: social.hackerspace.pl/@yavien/…
by communist meetup standards we had a really big turnout at the communist meetup! but yeah, the fabulous flinta cruising part was like way way way bigger!
Cruising Party #flintaparty2 at #39c3 sure was an experience.
First we're way over capacity for the small conference room 6.
Relocating to a bigger conference room.
There are too many people on the escalator, escalator shuts off.
Bigger conference room is closed.
Relocate to yet another conference room.
Communists who are at that conference room are nice to switch rooms with us.
Commence gay activities.
i want to hear from people who use screen readers: what makes alt text useful to you? what doesn't help?
Comrade, a person from my makerspace told me that one can be communist and fascist at the same time. Do you think it's true?
very much reminds me of the first commie-curious session I did in 2017 (#34c3). We booked the smallest room we could find because we thought it would be a small group; it ended up more crowded than a sauna at Vabali during Aufguss
Don't think so much! 😉

If you're blind, you can really stick it to the Trump Administration by "hacking" the Epstein files, AKA reading them normally.

So, how was someone able to hack these documents, undoing the redactions that the DOJ of all people had put in place, and reveal the information for all to see? I hope you are sitting down, because it’s going to knock your socks off: “I simply highlighted the text, copied it, and pasted it in a document,” Krassenstein said.

Does anyone have the manual for the old Sable audio RPG maker? Specifically looking for inspiration to make the Godot tilemap editor accessible and reading its manual might help.
Alternately, are there any good and documented accessible tilemap editors whose docs I can look to for inspiration?
Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.
There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.Taranis

in reply to GNOME • • •I joined the Summer of GNOME OS challenge, and actually ended up creating/registering so many issues that I was in the top three when the challenge ended. I'm pretty sure the only reason is because others didn't register their issues, though, but it was still fun.
Also, getting a reply and being taken seriously when I butted in on a board discussion was really nice :)
