Status Report - Week 16 2026

Real life

This last week before the kids' vacation was very uneventful; this is good :-)

Lyla, Nathalie and I watched Mulholland Drive and I loved it even more than I did when I first saw it 25 years ago. And seeing Lyla go through various phases of WTF throughout the movie was fun :-)

I finished American Sniper; this is one of those meh books that you forget about as soon as you finish them... I'm almost through Fundamentals of Physics: Mechanics, Relativity, and Thermodynamics, that continues to be excellent and teach me a lot.

It was another mediocre week in terms of running, with 21.64 km, as well as in GeoGuessr; I won 9 out of my 19 duels, enough to finish 18th in my division and stay in Master IV for another week.

Open source

This week was again slow on the SourceHut front because the staff seems still pretty busy fighting the recent DDoS attack, and I don't want to stack too many patches on top of unreviewed ones.

So I only finished and submitted the patch to migrate existing hub webhooks to Go and prepared the hut change to hook up the new GQL write operations in a branch.

I also sent small patches to sr.ht-container-compose, to silence hut warnings and setup another user.

The bulk of my time was spent on servo, more specifically on the WebGL side of the house and flaky tests: those three patches improve TexImage3D and should stabilize tests, while this one fixes broken links in comments.

Even though it leads to very small changes, I like this kind of work: you don't know anything, start pulling a string, and pull, and pull, and you learn "a lot" along them way - time well spent! :-)
