Status Report - Week 10 2026

Real life

After a great ski vacation, we're back in our regular routine: kids are back to school, Nathalie gives tons of classes, and I keep myself busy with lots of random small things at home.

The 6 Nations rugby competition is back as well after a one week break, and it has been an emotional roller-coaster. It started pretty poorly, with Wales almost winning against Ireland (Rhys Carre's try was by far the best moment in the game), and Scotland completely destroying France - I'm afraid, they showed they won't win the World Cup next year, not for lack of skills but for their inability to operate when not everything goes their way :'( The weekend was fortunately saved by Italy (not) surprisingly winning against England [1], for the first time ever in history.

Next weekend will be the last in the competition and will be very interesting. I do hope that France wins (their game and the overall competition), because I am not ready for yet another French rugby drama :-)

I wrote last week that the last book I read piqued my interest in knowing more about buddhism, so I started reading The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching, and I like a lot so far.

I had a good running week, with 35.45 km, and I barely played any GeoGuessr - just my 20 "counting games" on Sunday (9 wins). I surprisingly got my best Gold I ranking ever, finishing 8th in my group.

[1] This works for me as well ;-)

Open source

I continued iterating on the GraphQL API I'm adding to SourceHut's project hub, looking at write operations after read ones landed. I submitted this patch along with this testing document; I got some good feedback on the former, and will submit an updated revision soon.

I also submitted a patch to keep track of the revision a patchset supersedes, if any, and expose it in the UI.

Things are quiet on the sr.ht-integration-testing front (this will change once I'm done with the project hub's GraphQL API, that will need some not-manual-testing ;-)): I only increased the daily tester's reliability by automatically reclaiming disk space) on the EC2 runner when needed (instead of erroring out stating that "someone needs to do something").
