Status Report - Week 11 2026

Real life

It's been a pretty busy week, with lots of sport (mostly in front of the TV ;-)), quite a bit of coding and finally some progress at GeoGuessr!

This week was the last of the 6 Nations rugby competition, that brought a lot of joy, stress, and a semi-happy ending: Ireland solidly won against Scotland (what I hoped for), Wales were excellent against Italy and won their first game in the last 3 editions (yaay!), and France played really badly against England (who were very gool) but eventually won, thanks to a penalty at the very last minute! I am really concerned that the French crumble as soon as they're facing some kind of serious competition: there will be lots of it in the World Cup next year...

On Sunday, Lyla and I ran the 10km race at the CPC Loop Den Haag, in respectively 1h02:39 and 1h02:44 - that's better than expected given our limited amount of training this year. This got me to close the week with 18.75 km of running.

I continued reading The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching, and finally made progress at GeoGuessr: I won 11 of my 20 counting games, finishing 4th in my division, enough to be promoted to Master IV - at last!!! It's likely that I get destroyed there next week and immediately get demoted back to Gold I, but it's still a good achievement.

Open source

As usual, I worked a bit on SourceHut, iterating on the effort to add write GQL APIs to the project hub. I had to dive a bit into Go GQL clients generation, adding support for field aliases (design).

I also sent a revision of the patch to keep track of superseding patch versions, and improved hub project access via hut.

I also fixed a freeze in aerc when quickly changing directories, and sent my first (trivial) patch to the servo web browser since... 8 years!
