Damnit, yesterday Google emails about deprecating my Nest thermostats, and today Wemo emails about deprecating my wifi plugs. I am never buying a smart device again.

The attempts by law enforcement & governments to subvert end-to-end encryption are ongoing. The European Commission is going to spend a year thinking about their new "Roadmap for law enforcement access to data", and they are (genuinely) asking for people to join their expert group to help. Here I urge you to join that group (also because I can't): berthub.eu/articles/posts/poss

@notjustbikes just did a video about #Houten, the town where I grew up: youtube.com/watch?v=r-TuGAHR78 - focusing on the town architecture and low-car infra.

We're looking for a creative web developer who is all in on #OpenSource!

We plan to build a website using an open source static site generator (your choice, as long as it sings), and need a #freelancer to help us bring our new brand identity and content to life across every screen.

Clean code, fast load times, beautiful design — that’s the goal.

Interested? Reach out for the details. Sharing is caring. 💚

I modded an IKEA OBEGRÄNSAD lamp with my LED driver & custom firmware. It now displays 16bit grayscales @ 120 FPS.

Het sneuvelt wellicht een beetje onder op deze nieuwsdag, maar dit blijft bizar: Facebook en Instagram openden op Android een lokale webserver om je surfgedrag zo nog beter in de kaart te kunnen brengen.

@cjwatson Yeah, I appreciate that.

I don't have data, but I guess I'm a little surprised that it's too much effort keeping bzr hosting running since there's a couple of dozen projects still actively using bzr (code.launchpad.net/+recently-c). It's hard to find stats on number of projects actively using Git hosting besides Launchpad and related tools.

2025-06-05

Sad to see #Launchpad is dropping #Bazaar (#bzr) support - probably the last thing that set it apart from other code hosting solutions like GitHub.

discourse.ubuntu.com/t/phasing

At this point, it should just remove the support for hosting upstream projects altogether considering all #Canonical projects are actually on GitHub, and Launchpad is just the Ubuntu build system / bug tracker.

This is further exemplified by the fact that they announced this only on an #Ubuntu community forum.

@andrew_shadura which open source bikenav apps do you use? Brouter?

2025-06-02

@Ramonsta72 thanks! I haven't heard of any of those, I'll check them out.

What are good alternatives for #komoot, which has just been bought by Bending Spoons and probably awaits a future of stagnation (dcrainmaker.com/2025/05/komoot) ?

The Rust GCC backend can now fully bootstrap the Rust compiler. Excellent work from FractalFir in their GSoC (which starts in one week XD).

New from 404 Media: iconic hacking con HOPE has sold 50% fewer tickets this year, with event just a few months away. Organizers say it's due to U.S. immigration crackdown. A speaker already pulled out, said friends' devices seized at border. Will impact the event 404media.co/hacker-conference-

Here are all the posters I designed for RustWeek 2025!

1. "Box<impl Future>" (Back tot the Future):

#rustweek #rustweek2025

The "Back to the Future" movie poster, but with the title replaced by "Box<impl Future>". On top it says "1.21 gigabytes". The license plate of the DeLorean reads "enomem".

Their designer just posted high quality pictures of the rust movie posters that do them more justice than my terrible phone camera captures: hachyderm.io/@Mara/11450237887

Hanging out at #rustweek in Utrecht this week. It's hosted in a cinema (near the Jaarbeurs), and they're really leaning into that...

The Swiss are serious about #CrossChannelRail services to London. Many hurdles ahead, but by the end of the decade it could work. Really.
