Status Report - Week 35 2025
Real life
This was the last week before the kids go back to school, so I tried to make the best of it; we went to the beach, played bowling, watched YouTube videos together, and had a great day at the Veluwe on Sunday.
The weekend was very good for the latter, since both the Ultra Trail du Mont-Blanc and the GeoGuessr World Championship Finals were happening, both with very good coverage on YouTube.
I did not find the UTMB men race very interesting (especially after my favourite, François d'Haene, withdrew), but the women race was awesome. I was rooting for Camille Bruyas (I really like how she's always smiling / laughing, even when I'm pretty sure things are not fun), and she finished second, so I was very happy.
I'll be writing more about GeoGuessr soon, but the short version is that the competition was outstanding, the players really excellent, and my favourite, Debre, finished second to an impressive Radu C. I was a bit sad, but really blown away by the extraordinary skills of all those players.
I did not read that much, just making progress in Lee Child's Never go back.
It was a short week in terms of running, with only 14.41km, and a pretty good one GeoGuessr wise, placing 11th in the Gold II duels division.
Open source
I continued to work on SourceHut, this time in the area of SSH key management:
- I made it clearer to users what to expect when they remove a key from their account, via this, this and that.
- I made both pulling and pushing to git repos work with sr.ht-container-compose via this.
- I submitted a patch to make the "Last Used" information we show for SSH keys actually correct, via this. There's some discussion on it, and I'll follow-up with a v2 the coming week.
In the aerc area,
- My last pending patch,
detecting new emails for GMail in spite of them not support the
\RecentIMAP flag, was merged. It's not exactly great, and I'll probably rework it a bit at some point, but it addresses a gap that's been reported quite a few times recently, so it's a net win. - aerc 0.21 was released this week. It's a bit vain, but I was happy to see I was the top contributor in this release, with 41 commits.
