They prooooobably could have made the UI a smidge wider to accommodate longer usernames haha. From memory, my username hits the limit.

@jasnell.me Thank you so much for this fix! The bug had been giving me literal nightmares for the past year or so. All it took was for me to actually hunker down and figure out a minimum reproduction (took me 2 days btw lol) It's crazy how fast you were able to push a PR 😅 I owe you one!

Fixup AsyncContextFrame gc tracing by jasnell · Pull Request #6274 · cloudflare/workerd
Don't gc trace the AsyncContextFrame members... it turns out that setting the frame as current is not sufficient to establish a strong root, meaning that once the values are traced they become ...

Gotta wait for my friends to hop on so we can celebrate 🙌 This'll be my first 99 ever. I started playing RuneScape back in 2004-ish. But this particular account was started in November last year. Pretty happy with the progress. I've never had a >100 combat account either. Very exciting 🎉

Azure: "RestError: There was a problem communicating with the identity service." Cool cool cool... I see. Thanks for that, Azure. I wish Azure had some presence here on Bluesky. I miss that from the Twitter golden days.

I’m so excited to update my iPad to iPadOS 26 - those macOS-like desktop features look sick. I’ll probably wait for the public beta though, because I use my iPad way too much to brick it ;)

The macOS 26 Containerization API and Container CLI look super cool! I haven’t done a deep dive yet, but it seems like for most people it’ll be an *almost* drop-in replacement for Docker. I hope that it one day leads to actual macOS containers. But the goal for now is just Linux containers.

Damn, Cloudflare is killing it right now. This week, every night, I’ve looked forward to spamming refresh on their blog homepage at 1am, and subsequently not being able to get to sleep because I’m stuck in a loop of thinking of all the cool stuff I can now do with it.

Fixed! Disney+ support fixed the issue. Their system thought my IP address was located in the US for some weird reason. It’s not changed or anything (it’s a static IP). They have a process for overriding the location of an IP in their system - sweet! So now I can finally watch the Kardashians 🙌

I feel bad for blaming my sisters… I don’t think it’s them at all - after more digging, it appears that all my devices seem to make Disney+ think I’m in Santa Clara 🤦‍♂️ Idk if it’s my IP, or something else, but literally whenever I connect a new device to my account it emails me telling me[…]

Any NZer also seeing a change to the Disney+ app recently? In my app they renamed Star to Hulu and added ESPN(+). My very brief search couldn’t tell me whether this is intended or my app’s just bugged thinking it’s in the US or something? Cool if it’s real - coz there’s lots more content now.

This has to be one of the biggest opsec fails I've ever seen in my life. The actual director of the FBI driving around in the most conspicuous vehicle imaginable made even more so by it being neon red.
A red Tesla Cybertruck with black accents is driving on a street in Washington, D.C. The vehicle has a custom license plate reading "KASH 009." The social media post claims that the truck belongs to the FBI director. The background shows buildings, trees, and pedestrians on the sidewalk.

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.
Tweet from Scott Jennings, saying "um, yes, that's really a problem," with a quoted image saying "The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality right-wing content. That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well. In essence, people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly aren't usually on our side."
