Just as an FYI.

GitHub supports merging PRs with linear history these days. Doing that gives you a 'rebase and merge' option without merge commits.

Dunno whether you're aware or whether it meets your requirements that make you not use the merge button right now, but I thought I'd point it out just in case.

Give me a laptop and an Internet connection, and I will work from the top of Mount Everest to the bottom of the Mariana trench.

Right now, on the morning after #FOSDEM, if you started watching now and wanted to see all the currently available videos of talks that were held at the @fosdem that just finished, you have nearly 4 days ahead of you.

See https://review.video.fosdem.org/overview and https://dashboard.fosdem.org (the 'SReview stats' dashboard) to follow along at home.

And the prize for the first talk to successfully go through the FOSDEM review system goes to... "Unlocking development with ActivityPub Client to Server api", by "Django Doucet", in H.2215 at 13:10 today!

Unpopular opinion:

There is nothing that screams more 'pizza' than pepperoni.

Everything else is just 'I'm trying but I can't quite get there'

Termux, Android tablet, and Bluetooth keyboard make for some happy #perl hacking on the two long-haul flights I'm about to embark upon.

So the activity streams vocabulary says a 'Link' object has properties href, rel, mediaType, name, hreflang, height, width, and preview and nothing more; a 'Mention' object extends the Link object without adding properties, and example 58 shows how you construct a Mention object which has the property 'summary'... that is allowed nowhere in the same document for that specific message.

No, the spec is absolutely not ambiguous.

This year, as an experiment, we're also generating vtt subtitles of all released videos at @fosdem. These are generated after publishing of the video using OpenAI whisper.

I would love to get feedback about these subtitles. Are people using them? Are they useful?

As they're plain text files, it should also be possible to perform some analysis at scale on the contents of all the talks that were performed at FOSDEM. If anyone is doing something like this, please let me know!

#TFW you think you'll just update the kernel driver to support some feature because the kernel maintainer doesn't write it and it turns out he did write it and pushed patches for your code to a repository that you pulled from but he did it about a month *after* you pulled, and all that was SEVEN YEARS AGO and you just find out today.
