Now curl too has some Rust too. hyper would have been nice in this agents era.

My colleague installed Eclipse to see what programming in Java is like, and then used Claude to figure out which files he needed to delete to cleanup the pile of stuff it installed. Claude found this:

6 years after releasing rusty-s3, downloads keep growing. Of all of the stuff going on this year, I'm happy to see it continue to be adopted with little effort on my side. Happy that this small little crate is slowly finding it's own niche of users that dislike bloated autogenerated API bindings.

After this "gift", I expect more PRs sent to open source projects. Huge sloppy descriptions, the author using the PR review feature to talk to it's own clanker. 🙄 Maybe I should give Qwen it's own GitHub account so that clankers talk to each other and I don't have to even think about this mess /s

Just like with RAM prices, LLMs can't deal with the amount of commits in recent Linux kernel releases

Safari is finally adding Temporal. I guess it's time to start studying how it works then. Until now I've only seen the jiff API.

If you're trying to have someone learn about eventual consistency, just have them call Microsoft Sharepoint APIs and they'll learn a lot very quickly

I decided to mirror the Clickhouse repo because LLMs really like to look at source code from time to time. Couldn't figure out why it was taking more than it took the Linux kernel to mirror. There's some weird shenanigans going on here...

Forgejo vs Gitlab
020
Paolo Barbolini @paolobarbolini.it · 07/09/2026
You should. Unless something changes when I import all of the repositories, it's much more efficient than GitLab, or another way to see it: GitLab is stuck in a different era of everything.

Paolo Barbolini @paolobarbolini.it · 07/09/2026
Finally got around to trying Forgejo. Performance is better, except some endpoints where for some reason it takes 150ms to list commits in a tiny repo, which still feels like too much. Anyway, if I stop complaining about GitLab you now know why.

I don't like subagents extensions. Let's see if I can do something simpler with Zellij and a skill. A few hours later...

In today's shenanigans, the courier marked the package as delivered, but then it sent it back to the sender because it's damaged. No communication. Nothing.

Scaleway just added deepseek-v4-flash-0731. It's also the first model with caching. The price is not quite there, but it's a good start. €0.40/M input, €0.08/M cached input, €0.80/M output

It's so fun to see Gitlab rediscover bugs that they've had for at least 1.5 years. Makes me ask myself what is everyone doing on their overengineered giant resource hungry platform, if very few people are hitting those.

I guess I underestimated the resources necessary to self-host your own OSM tiles server.

This software is a smoking pile of trash. I waited until the last moment to upgrade Gitlab Registry and it still broke.

Me looking at my Proxmox dashboard with PostgreSQL 17, pgBackRest and Patroni while other people worry about "scalability" and a bunch of other shit that doesn't exist (for them). justfuckingusehetzner.com is a very cool website BTW.
