Anyone else wondering who’ll win the FIFA Peace Prize this year?

Just moved my account from Bluesky to Eurosky. Same username, same contacts, my data just moved to Europe. 🇪🇺

If you want to move your account data to Europe too: www.eurosky.tech

Ik ben ook net overgestapt, met behoud van handle.

Elders in de reacties hier is het iemand gelukt, dus blijkbaar kan het: bsky.app/profile/kari...

Azul Downloads Click here to download the Azul Zulu Builds of OpenJDK for Java 8, 11, 17, 21, 25 for Linux, Windows and macOS. Also download Azul Platform Prime.

@azulsystems.bsky.social The Azul Zulu download page shows 11.0.29 and 8u472 as the latest Java 11 and 8 versions for macOS on www.azul.com/downloads/?o..., but I see 11.0.30 and 8u482 are already available from the CDN. Maybe something to look into?

Some pictures from last Saturday at the Alte Molkerei in Bocholt 🇩🇪

Moonwatch goes Germany! Maar 2 uurtjes van Utrecht, dus je kan er gewoon bij zijn. 😉

@gog.com The entries in the 'Items on your wishlist are now discounted!' e-mails I get from you all only show 'WINDOWS', even when games also support other operating systems. This is a bit confusing. Maybe the entries in the e-mail could show the same OS icons as the game pages on your website?

Ah, it seems the most important difference is actually not in the table. The Enhanced Edition is Windows-only. 😒

Also the Enhanced Edition is (at least currently) cheaper. 🤷‍♂️

In case you were wondering what the differences are between the games 'Blade Runner' and 'Blade Runner - Enhanced Edition', @gog.com provides this handy table.

Ik moest wel een beetje lachen, maar ik liet het niet merken!

Spannend zeg!

LLMs are bullshitters. But that doesn't mean they're not useful.

Read this personal essay by Matt Ranger, Kagi’s head of ML:

Ik ken maar één nummer van The Mountain Goats, maar dat is wel een banger.

Zeker leuk, maar al van 2017. Heeft helaas geen vervolg gekregen na het eerst seizoen.

I suspect many developers use SDKMan to install a specific JDK version and never bother to install the updates as they come out (every 3 months). If you must use SDKMan (or install manually?!), set a reminder to install updates.

Or just use a package manager that gets you the update versions. 😉

I maintain most of the JDK ports in MacPorts (ports.macports.org/search/?q=op...) and if you use any of those, you'll automatically get the latest updates whenever you update your ports.

(You do use a package manager, right? And you do also actually use it to keep your software up-to-date, right?)

Great edition of @nljug.bsky.social #jfall again this year!

But… I don't think I saw a single speaker run a version of Java that wasn't at least 1.5 years old. Set a good example, install JDK updates! #security

Current latest (Oct '25) LTS versions:

- 25.0.1
- 21.0.9
- 17.0.17
- 11.0.29
- 8u472

The author also doesn’t seem to know that the JDK has moved on beyond HttpURLConnection and comes with HttpClient since 2018 (Java 11). No mention of records either.

I already stopped reading after seeing the recommendation for Lombok. 🤷‍♂️

Spring RestClient / WebClient are not HTTP client implementations, just HTTP client abstractions. If Apache HttpClient is on the classpath, it will be used under the hood when you use RestClient.

Morgen een dagje naar Nijmegen, waar ik al heel lang niet meer geweest ben. ‘s Avonds naar Alcest + BRUIT in Doornroosje, maar heeft iemand Nijmegen-tips voor overdag en/of ergens eten?
