🦀 Overcomplicating it in Rust
｢ Earlier this month it was reported that the date -r command can report the wrong date on Ubuntu 25.10 due to a Rust Coreutils difference compared to GNU Coreutils. It was noted that this could cause issues for backup scripts and other software relying on the "date -r" output and behavior being the same as GNU Coreutils ｣

🆕 blog! “A little oddity in the way curl deals with old dates”
For boring technical reasons, computers think the world began on 1st of January 1970. To keep track of the future, they count the number of seconds since that momentous date. So zero seconds represents midnight on that day.
So how do computers deal with dates before The Beatles' Abbey Road was …

Just ran into a basic flaw in the commonmark spec/parser.
https://github.com/commonmark/commonmark-spec/issues/807
Going to try and work around it in Kitten as I’m using Markdown-it, which implements the commonmark spec, and exhibits the same behaviour.
(This is going to delay the next release as I’m considering it a blocker.)

Combining two ideas from my feed.
First there is the account of @pluralistic on how AI are the perfect bullshit machines and spit out hard code bugs. This is especially true when forced upon people (the reverse-centaurs).

Second, an old account on how improper use of image compression algorithms in Xerox scans lied about numbers, at scale.
These two things are related, and someone will take the fall for failure.

Another small bugfix: When an existing contact submits a form with double opt-in, they actually receive the confirmation email now: https://github.com/pentacent/keila/issues/441 #buildinpublic #opensource #bug
