Status Report - Week 5 2026

Real life

It's been yet another pretty boring week, taking the kids to places, getting bikes fixed, fixing meals, etc. I love boring :-)

I spent an awesome weekend in Brussels for FOSDEM, and will talk about it in a dedicated post.

I continued reading Myth of self-esteem, that's pretty good, and got me add (so far) 2 more books to my to-read list.

I ran a bit less - 22.74 km - courtesy of FOSDEM, but walked more - 12.21 km - so it was an OK week moving-wise.

I'm still spending quite some time playing GeoGuessr with mixed results and a lot of frustration :-) I won 6 of my 20 "counting games" (25 out of 56 overall), which keeps me in the Gold I division. I wish I could say I´m stagnating, but I think I'm actually getting worse, so clearly need to do something... I just don't know what :-)

Open source

I did not write a lot of code this week, but spent a lot of time on open source via my trip to FOSDEM (again, I'll talk about it in a separate post).

On the SourceHut front, I made a bit of a fool of myself here, and spent some time trying to understand why. TL;DR: some code of mine was merged 2+ weeks ago that should not build, but actually does because it's picked up by the GQL code generator that fixes it on the fly. So no harm done, but I think it sucks to be able to have differences between the checked-in code and what actually runs... So I proposed an improvement to the CI's linting step.

In order to test more scenarii around builds.sr.ht in sr.ht-integration-testing, I submitted a patch to hut to support updating build tags.

Finally, I spend some time reviewing the (large) aerc patch series to create a local cache for IMAP and JMAP. It's very good and I'm looking forward to it being merged!
