Having a day off, and fortunately not running anything that has a Cloudflare frontend.

"The scene (“Hidden Figures”, 2016) ends with Mr. Stafford famously claiming “that’s old!” as if the Pythagorean theorem was suddenly not useful anymore after 3500 years… Mr. Stafford’s reaction is canonical and very appropriate; it is the same that most devs have upon learning the fact that COBOL is running most credit card transactions, or when frontend engineers discover that static or server-rendered HTML websites do not need 10 MB of JavaScript on the browser."

One of the nice things about Shortwave's Gmail frontend is that it isn't full of consistency bugs. Gmail is forever showing me out of date info. Also sometimes 5 minutes after I do something in Gmail it will complain when I close the window that some info hasn't been saved. WTF? They made some non-transactional architectural decisions in Gmail long ago that are still causing problems.

»Trends That Defined JavaScript in 2025:
Despite AI and the push for simplification in web development, JavaScript frameworks aren’t quite ready to yield their hold on the frontend.«
Personally, I'm not a JavaScript fanboy, but you can't avoid it for web frontend. I prefer TypeScript in this regard because in my opinion it is more precise.

i have made two realizations.
1) if i have a Wasm-hosted and Wasm-targeting LLVM, i can bootstrap to absolutely anything;
2) i can build LLVM using my Wasm-LLVM quite easily if i do a little cursed frontend magic

Content warning: open source whinging
Ugh why is this always the way. I evaluated like 25 authentication servers for a small scale web project — I do want to support things like OIDC and Passkeys, so this is not something I really want to make myself like the old days of “use crypt() on the passwords and just make a simple database”.
5 of them are just dev mode garbage that will never see the light of day as a thing people use.
2 of them are home network nonsense for people who want enterprise login for their family, but where One Nerd controls the whole user-list.
15 of them are freemium "open source" where they withhold features for their enterprise tier and make them so unfortunately difficult to deploy, all requiring postgresql databases and a complex containerization setup and helm charts and oh so much.
and then there's kanidm, which is great except its opinions make it completely unusable for a community project, it's really more trying to fit the ‘enterprise unix authentication' space. Kudos to them for communicating it but it's the wrong tool, even if it is really good.
And then there's rauthy. Which is exactly what I want, well built and delightful, uses a lightweight embedded database, and even has a peer-to-peer sync for scalability. But customizing it is going to be a lesson in building it from source repeatedly, and its configuration is just a bit strange, and its frontend is extremely Backend Developer Wrote A Web UI. I guess I got a second project. And maybe a third to make debian packages of it.
Yet it really is the best of the options _by far_.
NLNet supported projects continue to punch above their weight class.

Absolutely crazy demonstration of how AI can help with frontend design, my design abilities is stuck around like 2005 bootstrap era, I tried this approach on something and yeah - pretty amazing.
I can make a decent looking app and just focus on backend really.
It's a long video but worth it

Cette tristesse : une orga Š but non-lucratif qui aide des projets open-source, qui s'excuse pour des problèmes entièrement créés par des boîtes extérieures sans foi ni loi.
