The madness continues. I'm working on getting Handbrake compiled with support for the SvtAv1 `psyex` fork, and after quite a few attempts and fixing a few patches I have it working. This will end up in the final `sisyphus-client:latest` container assuming the current tests pass. I have something similar I need to do with the `sisyphus-client:latest-essential` container with the `essential` SvtAv1 fork as well, but things are looking good.

I had to fork express-busboy as they already ruled out adding it. The fork (@small-web/kitten-busboy²) also allowed me to type the middleware extension point for Polka³ instead of Express (Kitten uses Polka) so that’s one @ts-ignore removed (hey, dev is a string of little wins) :)

Agent libOS: A Library-OS-Inspired Runtime for Long-Running, Capability-Controlled LLM Agents
Yingqi Zhang
https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.03895 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.03895 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.03895
arXiv:2606.03895v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are evolving from request-response assistants into long-running software actors: they maintain state across model calls, fork subtasks, wait for external events, request human authority, generate tools, and perform side effects that must be resumed and audited. This paper presents Agent libOS, a library-OS-inspired runtime substrate for LLM agents. Agent libOS runs above a conventional host operating system; it does not implement hardware drivers, kernel-mode isolation, or a POSIX-compatible operating system. Instead, it treats an agent as an AgentProcess: a schedulable execution subject with process identity, parent-child lineage, lifecycle state, a tool table derived from an AgentImage, typed Object Memory, explicit capabilities, human queues, checkpoints, events, and audit records. Its central design rule is tools are libc-like wrappers; runtime primitives are the authority boundary. Filesystem access, object access, sleeps, human approval, JIT tool registration, and external side effects are checked at primitive boundaries under explicit capabilities and policy.
We describe the design, threat model, Python prototype, and safety-oriented evaluation. The current prototype implements async scheduling, namespace-local Object Memory, runtime-integrated human approval, one-shot permission grants, per-process working directories, shell and image-registration primitives, Deno/TypeScript JIT tools over a libOS syscall broker, filesystem/object bridge tools, an injectable Resource Provider Substrate, deterministic demos, real-model smoke scripts, and 123 regression tests at the time of writing. Rather than improving planner accuracy, Agent libOS demonstrates a runtime substrate in which long-running LLM agents can be scheduled, authorized, resumed, and audited without treating tool dispatch as the trust boundary.

You know what's wild? If a piece of software isn't in your native language, it's now relatively easy to just maintain a fork that is, ongoing.
It feels obvious that llm's have no place in free and open source software. Apparently it isn't, at least not to everyone. I recently became interested in exploring the scope of the problem after finding out that both Vim and Neovim not only don't have policies banning llm contribution, but already contain fairly significant amounts of llm generated code.
@dawid@social.craftknight.comWell, we've finally packaged #Valkey (another #Redis fork) in #Gentoo, along with its #Python bindings.
Not that we wanted to, but #FakeRedis now started requiring it for tests so heavily that it was too much effort to patch it out. Just to be clear, it just requires the Python bindings, because its test suite happily runs against either Redis or Valkey, and literally doesn't support testing against both simultaneously. But to add the bindings, we needed the database to test them against. And since I've added the package too, I've put a lot of effort (and swearing) to test FakeRedis against both servers.
Should you be using Valkey? Well, let's put it like this. You shouldn't be using Redis, because it's enterprise quality shit. Valkey is roughly what happens when you fork enterprise quality shit and have no clue what you're doing. Though you are able to mostly get renaming right (one valkey-py test failed over the server calling itself "Valkey" rather than "Redis").
Disclaimer: I've only looked at the Python bindings. Maybe the maintainers are more knowledgeable with the server itself.

The other one I truly love is GitUp (https://gitup.co). Its visualization handles certain specific tasks better than anything else — tasks where I’m more concerned about the shape of the commit graph than the contents of individual commits.
Because of the way it does live updates of repo state and offers a whole-commit-graph-level undo, I’ll sometimes keep it open in the background while doing some fiddly thing in another tool (Fork, CLI, whatever) just so I can see what the ^*@# is happening.
Alas, its lack of support for commit signing means I use it less and less.

Toxic feed algorithms that serve Meta or X are bad, but that does not mean that we can't do something better ourselves here.
For many years I have been using a fork of mastodon_digest that scores posts by engagement and emails me a daily summary. It's open source and helps me to discover what has been going on in my timeline without following it all the time.
If you see me fav-ing your posts like 18h after the post. That's probably why!
So I had this idea, if I could make the #Emacs #OrgRoamUI accessible on the LAN, I could potentially navigate my notes from any device anywhere!
It was listed in the GitHub as a request, but the advice there didn't work, it only acted as a redirect to nowhere. I could change the url from localhost to the lan name, opened 8080 in ufw and then port-forwarded with
sudo socat TCP-LISTEN:8080,fork TCP:localhost:35901
And that let me see the UI, but only the controls, no nodes, no notes. Noting the websocket claiming port 35903, I removed :host (to use all interfaces) and opened ufw for LAN access to that port which all /seemed/ really logical, but …
I still see only the controls, no nodes or notes 😞
