Gave my first ever #lightning #talk in #FOSSASIA Summit 2025. Pretty nervous and excited. But went well. Some snaps of that in Day 3.

Sicherheitslücken: Gitlab-Entwickler raten zu zügigem Update
Es sind wichtige Sicherheitsupdates für die Softwareentwicklungsplattform Gitlab erschienen.
It's a good thing we use "txn" as a short name for a transaction in #OPA. Had we used "trans" instead, #GitHub #Copilot would have refused to work in any of those files. Jesus fucking Christ.

Hm, thanks #GitHub - I had bookmarked this promising #homeassistant integration a while ago but completely forgot about it. Now they released a new version, it showed on my dashboard, and this worked as a reminder.
Given that we have a heat pump, we don't use thermostatic radiator valves but this integration might be handy for people who do.
To find interesting (new) #homeassistant integrations, sample configurations etc. it's worthwhile to search for "lovelace" or "homeassistant" on #GitHub from time to time.
I just did that and stumbled over the following integration:
https://github.com/nielsfaber/alarmo
"[Alarmo] allows to combine existing sensors for creating a security system for your house. The integration is comparable with the Manual Alarm in HA, but also has some additional features that makes it easier to use."
Genuine query
How do I try to get the attention of Mastodon devs to look at a simple QOL & accessibility suggestion about character limits?
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/24147
& just to pre-empt the thought, I cannot code, nor have I ever been able to successfully learn, so I cannot offer to contribute to the code.
Hi, I'm Jordan, and this is my #introduction. I'm a #xennial #nonbinary #Chicago area dad who does #Linux stuff for a living and for a hobby. I've worked lots of places, but the one you've probably heard of is #GitHub. I don't work there anymore. At one point in the past I wrote some articles for #LWN and I still write an occasional tech blog post or two.
Previous iterations of me have been a "gifted child," an #arcade rat, a #BBS kid, a fry cook, a #furry, a library assistant, a #comics nerd, a #goth, an art student, a delivery driver, and a PhD program dropout. Sadly, I am now too old and saddled with responsibility / glorious purpose to be cool with any regularity.
Politically, I would say that I lean pretty far to the left, but mostly I am too tired from parenting and living through a slow-motion apocalypse to think political thoughts much deeper than "please stop killing people and the planet."
I mostly read #scifi and a bit of #fantasy. Recent favorites include the #LockedTomb series by Tamsyn Muir, the #Wayfarers series by Becky Chambers, the #Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, the #ImperialRadch series by Ann Leckie, and the #MachineriesOfEmpire by Yoon Ha Lee. I am a big #Dune nerd and have been known to make a lot of stupid Dune memes. My favorite band of all time is #GWAR and the band I saw most recently was #100gecs.
