It's only three months until ARRL/RAC Field Day. If you, like me, want to make sure you are prepared to run CW during Field Day, my fork of Morse Walker has Field Day support. Just fill in Section and Class and choose Field Day at the top and you can get some practice.

I spend a lot of effort on noise reduction. Turning off alerts, reducing the size of (especially redundant) messages I don't really need to see—that kind of stuff.
It's REALLY disruptive when software I use decides to get rid of those filters. Like not even just turning the noise back on, but fully removing my ability to even filter things.
I regularly mourn the wonderful period of time when software worked for us. (This *is* open source, but maintaining a fork is more wo…

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.

🥳 New Kitten¹ Release
• Adds `rawBody` to non-multipart POST requests.
This property, which is a Buffer, is necessary if you want to verify signatures (e.g., for webhooks).
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) :)

I think this is a good pressure test of #LLM / #AI agentic coding, and depending on where you are, it's either an indictment or a great success story:
if you have $3k, one of the best test suites in existence and a week of time, you can swap a storage implementation in a database

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.

Fork, Explore, Commit: OS Primitives for Agentic Exploration
Cong Wang, Yusheng Zheng
https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.08199 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.08199 https://arxiv.org/html/2602.08199
arXiv:2602.08199v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: AI agents increasingly perform agentic exploration: pursuing multiple solution paths in parallel and committing only the successful one. Because each exploration path may modify files and spawn processes, agents require isolated environments with atomic commit and rollback semantics for both filesystem state and process state. We introduce the branch context, a new OS abstraction that provides: (1) copy-on-write state isolation with independent filesystem views and process groups, (2) a structured lifecycle of fork, explore, and commit/abort, (3) first-commit-wins resolution that automatically invalidates sibling branches, and (4) nestable contexts for hierarchical exploration. We realize branch contexts in Linux through two complementary components. First, BranchFS is a FUSE-based filesystem that gives each branch context an isolated copy-on-write workspace, with O(1) creation, atomic commit to the parent, and automatic sibling invalidation, all without root privileges. BranchFS is open sourced in https://github.com/multikernel/branchfs. Second, branch() is a proposed Linux syscall that spawns processes into branch contexts with reliable termination, kernel-enforced sibling isolation, and first-commit-wins coordination. Preliminary evaluation of BranchFS shows sub-350 us branch creation independent of base filesystem size, and modification-proportional commit overhead (under 1 ms for small changes).

A nice afternoon running some brutal encodes across the homelab. This is initial testing of the 5fist fork of the `svt-av1-psy` encoder with some pretty severe settings. Hoping that the results are worth the wait, but gotta wait until the first few results come out of the workers.

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.

My fork of Morse Walker shows for each virtual QSO, how many stations were trying to connect, and the average number of stations that try to connect over your session.
I've always kind of felt like the simulation steps when adding stations are too discrete. Set to 2, it often hits 0 and you have to call CQ to invite a new caller; set to 3 you might go 20 minutes without draining the pool. I've…

LineageOS: what breaks? Banking.

I used my fork of kwin_wayland all evening yesterday, and it was fine. I swear they're making the Wayland session bad on purpose just to suffer performatively. Whatever, I can maintain a patchset.

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 😞
