Hot off the Open Source Summit keynote:
The #OpenSearch project is joining the @linuxfoundation 🎉
I've advocated for @OpenSearchProject becoming a foundational #opensource from the project's early days, and I'm so happy to see it coming through.

Okay, so Need for Speed: ProStreet on #linux does not run OOTB. I had to screw around in winetricks and winecfg a bunch to get it to actually run but eventually got it to run.

Pro-tip: enable Vsync.





Damn... Fedify is really good. It seems like the ActivityPub library I always wanted for Node applications (rather than a reference server like the one I created for ExpressJS).

I love that it's built so you can take an existing app and quickly drop in the federation features you need (like oh okay I need my application to Follow/Accept/Reject/Undo and have the ability to Create an Article but that's it, cool, Fedify has me covered)

@gloopsies I think my mental model is preventing me from understanding you here.

I want something that I can compile to a simple binary without needing to setup node or python environment with all the dependencies and language specific package managers

I finished reading Shadow of the Torturer, by Gene Wolfe yesterday. It was a book that took me months to begin reading. At first it was a struggle, but I was largely rewarded. Definitely it’s one of the best books I read. I left Ada Palmer’s preface to read after finishing the book and it’s such a great analysis (without conveying any spoilers). Now I understand the importance of Gene Wolfe.

I heartily recommend the "ReReading Wolfe" podcast rereadingwolfe.podbean.com/ . Their take is that you don't read Gene Wolfe, you reread, there's just too much there. Book-by-book, story-by-story commentary,, with the depth you missed the first time.

Forty-two years ago today, the Israeli military facilitated the killing of as many as 3,500 Palestinian and Lebanese civilians in the Sabra neighbourhood and Shatila refugee camp in Beirut.

Israeli troops had laid siege to the camp and allowed allied right-wing Christian fighters to enter it and commit atrocities against defenceless people there. The slaughter went on for three days.

Most of the victims were Palestinian.
