If you haven't worked on Ruby or Rails projects for a long time, then you may forget what the current version of the language and framework is.
To keep up to date with current versions and support deadlines, I recommend checking out one of these sites periodically:
* https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/branches/
* https://rubies.io/
* https://versionlog.com/ruby/
* https://endoflife.date/ruby
* https://rubyonrails.org/maintenance

Photo Taken Under Adult Supervision

(Details In The Alt Text) - (In Great Detail)

This is a black and white photo in landscape format looking along a straight set of train tracks. Tehachapi, California (2017).

The camera is just above ground level, about 30cm, is positioned between the rails and angled along a long straight length of track. The tracks while parallel in reality, converge together with increasing distance. The rails are fixed to sleepers (railroad ties) that are buried in stone ballast so that the sleepers are hardly visible. In the distance, perhaps 100m away, is a stationary freight wagon. To the left of the track is a further set of two pairs of rails raised upwards by about 1m and offset by 2m from the first track. To the left of the tracks is a line of telegraph poles with a few wires stretched from pole to pole. Either side of the tracks are some scattered small trees and grass. In the distance is a hazy view of a large hill, its summit out of view.

Today's historic photo of the day: Looking across the tracks running along the centre of Dutton street, we see the 322km post on the far side of the Rossi Street intersection, Yass, NSW, October 19, 1985.

The shiny #rails tell us that the track had recently seen trains on it, and indeed the line was then still in regular use for goods trains. Yass is in the NSW Southern Tablelands region to the north-west of Canberra.

Looking across an intersection of residential streets in a regional town, we see a railway track running along the centre of one of the streets. The track is not segregated from the roadway, but except in the intersection, the rails do project up from the road surface and there is a solid growth of weeds surrounding them. The rails are however shiny indicating that they do see use. On the far side of the road, on the nature strip in front of a house on the other side, is a standard NSWR km post displaying 322 in black numerals on a white plate.

This month I'm travelling by night train from Sweden to Germany twice! I have a weekend trip to Berlin March 19th, and then I'm going on an Easter holiday March 27th. (Yes, the week after).

I can't wait for some proper train trips.

Do you know how to check if you have internet access on your CI server?
You can simply make a get request to any page, for example https://www.google.com but this will not be an effective solution, since you do not need the HTML code that will come in response.
The most correct way is to make a get request to https://www.google.com/generate_204 since the response will only contain the header.
If you work with Rails, I recommend using this wonderful gem `online` (https://github.com/yegor256/online)

Rack isn’t just a gem — it’s the interface that connects Ruby web frameworks to the outside world.

With Rack 3, the project is actively evolving to support modern workloads: stricter contracts, improved streaming, stronger security, and a more modular core.

A deep dive into why Rack remains the backbone of the Ruby web stack 👇

Age delay option for `--ensure-latest` and some bug fixes!

I thought I was done, but no. 500 errors on every page.

Fucking #Rails is more NodeJS than Ruby at this point.

When I wrote BackupBrain I specifically said "fuck that noize" and completely sidestepped ALL the NodeJS. It's just boring old Vanilla JS + Vanilla CSS + Bootstrap (css & JS) and massive pages load in a blink.

#Rails #ActiveRecord #Ruby #WebDev

Ruby has quietly entered a new phase.

Not a single breakthrough, but simultaneous progress across runtime, framework, infrastructure, and application capabilities.

Ruby 4 + Rails 8 together point to a broader, more versatile platform.

Ein Bahnsteig, auf dem ein Zug einfährt. Eine Frau und ein Kind stehen auf dem Bahnsteig, während andere Fahrgäste in der Nähe warten. Der Bahnhof zeichnet sich durch moderne Architektur mit großen Fenstern und Sicherheitsschildern aus.

Ein Zug fährt in einen modernen Bahnhof mit einem Wolkenkratzer im Hintergrund ein. Mehrere Menschen warten auf dem Bahnsteig, während andere sich am Rand des Bahnhofs aufhalten. Der Himmel ist teilweise bewölkt, und man sieht Gleise, die vom Bahnhof wegführen.

Eine Gruppe von Menschen, die in einer U-Bahn-Station mit blau-weiß gefliesten Wänden eine Treppe hinaufgeht. An der Decke sind Leuchten zu sehen.

Thinking of doing a deep dive on creating a #Rails template that strips out all the crap I don't like and sets up projects the way I like

Does anyone have any tips, experiences, or warnings about this stuff?

Is this something people would find useful to be open sourced?

Another Weekly Brain Dump is online!

- Taylor Community site switching back to #Rails from #Hanami
- I also switch to using #Phlex for view rendering
- I start learning how to build a programming language

TIL: Bun Code Splitting with Rails Propshaft

I wanted to code-split a React component out of my Rails 8 app's JS bundle. Unfortunately, both Bun and Propshaft fingerprint chunked javascript assets breaking dynamic imports.

Here's my config.
