Everybody makes a big fuss about new ARM/x86-64 extensions but nobody seems to care about separate chips for things like idle compute (read: locally-triggered notifications and fitness tracking). I get why it exists but I’m just in awe.

“there is hardware in your pocket optimized for cryptography and hardware decoding”

ok cool

“and for secure dynamic code execution.”

makes sense

“that was made for the WebKit team at Apple for JavaScript, along with some other ARM instructions for floating point arithmetic.”

huh

“There is also a chip on your device for notifications”

now you’re fucking with me.

New static site hosting provider hit my radar: statichost.eu. Ticks all the boxes, plus offers custom headers, OCSP Must-Staple, etc. which half the providers don’t do nowadays. I like how they do manual review and start conversations with customers for traffic spike billing instead of automated flagging and expecting users to reach out.

I just remembered that fonts can contain webassembly shaping instructions now. Supported in Harfbuzz.

Before you panic, remember that font engines already support significant parts of the SVG spec and extremely advanced shaping/hinting instructions (the latter of which are basically their own programming language).

I’m not saying you shouldn’t panic. I’m saying that you should also be aware of that before you do.

Anybody know of (ideally mobile-friendly) FOSS forum software (besides mailing lists) that doesn’t have a copyright-granting CLA or open-core model? Discourse, Flarum, and Nodebb require a CLA.

I’m aware of phpBB and bbj (read-only web UIs are available; no read-write web UIs).

New bookmark: ActivityPub on a (mostly) static website.

There have been other attempts to document the process of bringing ActivityPub to a (mostly) static site, but this is my favorite so far. I wonder if I should give it a go, if POSSE ever stops serving my needs.

Some user-agents that hit my site this week:

“W3C standards are important. Stop fucking obsessing over User-Agent already.”

sorry.

“I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said–\x22Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my User-Agent, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

i’m happy for you, or sorry that happened.
