The current JPEG XL decoder in #Firefox apparently consists of more than 100,000 lines of multi-threaded C++

For just decoding an image format.

Not sure what it says about the format, the implementation and the Internet at large.

When working in energy, you find some really incredible maps.

I’ve made an explainer site about vanilla web development, or webdev without tools or frameworks. Think of it as a new web framework’s tutorial, except the framework in this case is modern web standards.

Okay so you know, bunch of shitposting and all that, but a serious interlude:

Someone pushed the button to start this rollout. They are probably having a _really_ bad time right now.

If someone at Crowdstrike knows who that is, please go and check on them, give them a hug, tell them it's not their fault, that it's going to be okay. No matter what the company line is on blameless culture whatever, the lizard brain is in charge right now and needs reassurance.

How to Fix Crowdstrike Fail:

Workaround Steps:

"1. Boot Windows into Safe Mode or the Windows Recovery Environment

2. Navigate to the C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike directory

3. Locate the file matching “C-00000291*.sys”, and delete it.

4. Boot the host normally."

If anybody is wondering the impact of the Crowdstrike thing - it’s really bad. Machines don’t boot.

The recovery is boot in safe mode, log in as local admin and delete things - which isn’t automateable. Basically Crowdstrike will be in very hot water.

Wow! Ich besuchte diese Woche in Wien die vllt. schönste Fahrradstraße der Welt und die erste in 🇦🇹 nach 🇳🇱 Vorbild. Über 1,3km zieht sich die Argentinierstraße seit 2024 in tollem Rot und begleitet von 40 neuen Bäumen durch die Stadt und macht sie so zu einem wunderbaren Ort für Radfahrer. Ein wirkliches Meisterwerk gelungener Radverkehrspolitik❤️
