GitHub is going to charge 0.002$ per minute for SELF HOSTED runners… what? 🤯

Guess Q1 of 2026 will be about figuring out what CI/CD platform we’re going to migrate to.

Developer attempts to replicate "Liquid Glass" in CSS, and once finished realizes what she'd actually created is an exploit for a fundamental, previously unknown, and rather serious browser vulnerability

dndlog Track the passage of time in your campaign and keep track of what happened.

In the Dungeons & Dragons campaign that I DM, I kept forgetting about the passage of time.

So I made a little thing to help me keep track of how much time has passed and record noteworthy events. It includes a link you can share with players that hides DM only notes.

Scams at scale The first things humans invented, before fire, the wheel or baked brie, was trust. Trusting the others in the village. Trusting that you could get a good night’s sleep. Trusting that what you…

Technology changes rapidly. As a result, we’ll have to re-evaluate the markers that we use instinctively to determine whether something is trustworthy.

Your name recently came up at the contributor day in Vienna as someone we see too little of in the Drupal community 💙

A prompt in ChatGPT saying: “Can you draw me a left handed person reflected in a mirror? Show only the reflection and not the source” ChatGPT has generated an image of a right handed white man with black hair and a turquoise shirt, writing in a notebook resting on his left hand. Because the man is rendered as a reflection in a mirror, he’s actually drawing with his left hand. ①

So I guess I solved this hard AI problem (/s)

Developers will reinvent whole battle tested libraries while saying it’s not a case of “not-invented-here” but then let AI do a half-baked copy paste job without batting an eye and trusting it blindly.

I feel like this oxidized a bit in the past 10 years

Score! How long do I have?

Alexander Varwijk @kingdut.ch proposes a bold redesign of #Drupal Core to support async processing, ReactPHP, and background tasks.

His plan: decouple the kernel, adopt Symfony Runtime, and modernize bootstrapping across environments.

#PHP

Imagine if we could use the Drupal framework for any type of application. In my new blog post I outline the work needed to bring us closer: www.alexandervarwijk.com/blog/2025-09...

You would be able to work in your own instance while letting contributors work on GitHub. The tool (or an alternative) can help sync automatically. Then you meet contributors where they are but lose nothing (except visibility) if GitHub disappears. 2/2

The folks over at Symfony (PHP) have some great tooling for working with split repositories while maintaining history.

The base but not all of that is open source. I wonder if they can be incentivized to open source it all.

Because.. 1/2

FuzzyPost Warm fuzzies by post.

fuzzypost.com gave me a good chuckle #SnailMail

Streaming services that aren’t Netflix are so incredibly bad at keeping watch progress synced across devices it’s infuriating that content is so spread out across services

Awesome news! Congratulations @patrickhwillems.bsky.social 🥳

I’m constantly amazed by the work Jürgen is doing! If he built it, you should probably be using it 🙌

On the one hand, great idea! On the other hand, I feel bad for the hate Tuesday will be getting instead 😔

The 500 errors in the BlueSky search seem to be confirming my suspicions.

#CrowdSourced

It’s either just my repository (or me) or I’m detecting a GitHub outage before their status page ☹️

Good luck to their engineering teams 🙏

Did BlueSky remove the “quick follow” button that were on posts or did I hallucinate that that was a thing?

“AI can replace CEOs” does not indicate a danger of AI. It indicates the capitalist problem of people going through the motions rather than using creativity to serve their communities.

The danger that AI might pose is a symptom of a different problem we should solve.

The new iconography of the silence coupes in NS trains just doesn’t work.. 🫩
