First blog post of the year:
#Rust #Security

crepererum - Only security updates?
An analysis of how often you need to accept breaking changes so you can also consume security updates.

For today's #silentsunday I am thinking about wether I want to go to this place and take a similar photo (just now in winter) ... OR go to the place seen in the photo. 🤔
I might also have to check the nature & wildlife protection zones first.
Anyways - enjoy the rest of your sunday.
Oh, I even wrote a blog post about it:

Inaugurating the Level Up Log section on my blog with the January report... in February :P

A sloppy blog posted on how I spent $25 messing with Openclaw this weekend.

After my first blog post only introduced my blogging software, but not so much the blogger (i.e. me :) ), I now added a secong blog post, in which I introduce myself and all my hobbies and interests. Ejoy!

Making WebAssembly a first-class language on the Web
WebAssembly has come a long way since its first release in 2017. The first version of WebAssembly was already a great fit for low-level languages like C and C , and immediately enabled many new kinds of applications to efficiently target the web.

Making WebAssembly a first-class language on the Web – Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog
This post is an expanded version of a presentation I gave at the recent WebAssembly CG meeting in Munich. WebAssembly has come a long way since its first release in 2017. The 1.0 version of WebAssembly was already a great fit for low-level languages like C and C++, and immediately enabled many new kinds of applications to efficiently target the web.

The #alabaster theme by @… is the first theme since solarized that makes me want to use it.
I recommend his blog post to understand why:

What came first- the CNAME or the A record
A recent change to 1.1.1.1 accidentally altered the order of CNAME records in DNS responses, breaking resolution for some clients. This post explores the technical root cause, examines the source code of affected resolvers, and dives into the inherent ambiguities of the DNS RFCs.

This is interesting/weird; Anthropic "retired" Claude 3. They are going to keep it around. They did an "exit interview" with the LLM and one of the things was asked it how it would like to be retired. And it asked to write a weekly blog post! #AI

Temporal: The 9-Year Journey to Fix Time in JavaScript
JavaScript's Date object has been a source of bugs for three decades. Temporal, which just reached Stage 4, is a modern replacement with immutable types, first-class time zone and calendar support, and nanosecond precision. This is the story of how Bloomberg, Igalia, and the TC39 community spent nine years turning an idea into a shipping standard.

It is a bit sad that he is leaving In Our Time, but I enjoyed the interview with Melvyn Bragg.
The blog post about curiosity as a leader is short and great.

I’ve been hesitant to share this since the post is strictly visuals sans alt text, but I think the examples it shows are worth it for those who are designing GUIs.

January recap blog post: #MastodonDev

Despite the small team size,
Mastodon operates two large, production Mastodon instances:
mastodon.social
Runs on Kubernetes with autoscaling between 9 and 15 nodes (16 cores, 64 GB RAM each). Web frontend scale between 5 and 20 pods, while various Sidekiq worker pools scale between 10 and 40 pods. On average, mastodon.social has 70–80 pods running at any given time. This platform handles up to 300,000 active users per day and approximately 10 million requests per minute.

How Mastodon Runs OpenTelemetry Collectors in Production
At the beginning of 2025, the OpenTelemetry Developer Experience SIG published the results of its first community survey. One of the strongest themes was clear: teams want more real-world examples of how the OpenTelemetry SDKs and the OpenTelemetry Collector are actually used in production. To help close that gap, the SIG began collecting stories directly from end users—across industries, architectures, and company sizes. This post kicks off a new series focused specifically on organizations�…
