I haven't been posting about my work on #beambots here - mainly because I forgot I had this account 🤪

Here's the week two status update: https://beambots.dev/blog/progress-2025-12-22/

Debian 13 "trixie" has been released, thanks to everyone involved! "trixie" images are available for download at https://www.debian.org/distrib/ or you can run apt full-upgrade as always ;-) #debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie

@mntmn I'll be in Berlin presenting at CodeBEAM Europe in early November and I'm wondering if I could impose upon you to come see how the sausage is made as they say. I don't own any MNT products, but if I were buying a new machine today the Reform Next would be on the top of my list.

I'm a ratepayer who votes in local elections and I actually do want more cycle lanes

@feld @adrianc @lawik I decided to lean real hard into ex_check so I have a single drone template which runs mix check and the project is able to decide what is important in its .check.exs file. https://harton.dev/james/drone-templates winds up looking like this https://drone.harton.dev/project-neon/neon-core/933

How do I nominate Shay Williamson for New Zealander of the year? #alone #aloneaustralia

Apparently this song irritates some politicians, such a mystery why 🤔

Super stoked to find out that not only does the built in 4G card in my Lenovo laptop not work in Linux (well not without a lot of fuckery anyway) but I can’t install a well supported Quectel card because they have it bios locked to their own parts. Funny, I thought this was my device. #linux #righttorepurpose

james boosted:

This promises to be a very interesting talk about using Reactor for Nerves device startup.

I think Reactor is also interesting in itself and I look forward to learn more about it.

@mntmn so boring right?! Why does it have to be any more complex than a sim link to a png file

Hebe and I investigating a slippery jack (suillus luteus) in a pine grove at Wairarapa Moana. Sadly no Porcini's.

@lawik @rogerlipscombe check with @zachdaniel - he has something that archives the Ash discord to the web. Maybe that will help?

You know how in cop shows when our hero gets the big collar he gets a standing ovation when he gets back to the station? I just realised that probably never happens because none of them have the emotional intelligence to be that supportive of their peers. #acb

@Prma I know. I find it very concerning myself. I’ve started referring to my output as “artisanal softwares make by hand”

james boosted:

hot take: if this is the kind of cash it takes to sustain the web, maybe we should kill it and start again from first principles? RSS forever, or fuck it, I dunno, JSON over Gopher? It didn’t cost a billion dollars to invent any of the things we like, and it’s bullshit that something as petty as money is the thing holding us hostage here. https://danfabulich.medium.com/all-four-major-web-browsers-are-about-to-lose-80-of-their-funding-0e42ceb358f1

@soundasleep @aurynn I am using a local forgejo container on my NAS along with drone CI and runners on various spare computers lying around the house.

Winston Peters is a disgrace, I stand with our trans whaanau, āke, ake, ake.

I’m super excited to announce something I’ve been working on for many years! Brain™: the natural intelligence engine that’s always with you.

Brain™ works on any platform, with any app. The more you use it, the smarter it gets! Brain™ trains only on data you feed it and it’s powered by a renewable caloric process. Start using yours today!

@megahbite well yes and all you’ll learn is how to use an oauth and http client.
