Back home from #fosdem. Great talks, lovely people and cool stickers. We now have lychee stickers! Thank you @nlnet@social.nlnet.nl and @NGIZero@mastodon.xyz for printing the stickers and for supporting lychee in the first place.

@decathorpe@mastodon.social ah yes, I see, thank you. I just pointed out that I thought GitHub would simply show the CVSS criticality until now. But that's not the case. So I learned something today :)

Here we switched before the last release in February: https://github.com/lycheeverse/lychee/pull/1928
It resolved multiple inconsistencies as lychee behaved differently on each target platform as the target platform's openSSL implementation was used. Switching to rustls has resolved multiple long-standing issues and we haven't received any related bug reports since.
Thank you @mre@mastodon.social for motivating me to start blogging in the first place :)
I feel that writing a blog post also helps you to understand yourself (and the thing you are writing about) better. For example, since writing the mentioned post, I understand much better what had bothered me and why. Writing forces one to think.
Google is not just becoming evil but also enshittified to the point of uselessness. Not only is the generated response bad and useless, they also don't care about my English language headers and thus disregard the open and standardised web.
Noticed as I had to test if this post really does reflect the current state of Google: @jaffathecake@mastodon.social
At least I learned how to properly pronounce "intelligence".
I do get that maybe Rust has some advantages over Zig. But I'm not sure if a single vibe coded commit/PR containing 1 million additions is a good solution..

Meanwhile GitHub has issues even loading the PR page and its comments..

@decathorpe@mastodon.social huh interesting. They might weigh the criteria differently? Until now I thought they would use plain CVSS
