  • Surprise, you now have 2 fresh kohlrabi in your hands, what do you do?

    Jump

  • My mum prepares them like this (when not eaten raw):

    1. Remove the woody skin of the bulb. You rather want to cut off too much than too little, because biting on one of those woody parts is really not nice.
    2. Cut into the shape of large french fries.
    3. Cook them in a small pot with just enough water to cover them, and a little bit of salt, some vegetable stock and optionally nutmeg thrown in as well. Lid on.
    4. Wait however long you want to wait. If you like a bit of bite, then shorter of course. But they're also gorgeous when they're tender.
    5. Thicken the remaining sauce. The kohlrabi gives off a really nice taste into the sauce, so you don't want to drain the cooking water.

    Because we're German, this was then served as the side-dish to the most boring food imaginable (noodles and probably some meat).I think it would go much better with rice. Well, and I'd go with soy chunks as the protein, but that's personal preference.

    I also think caraway works really well with kohlrabi. And I could definitely see a spicy variant with some chili added into the sauce. Well, or a mustard sauce, of course:

  • Hmm, smoked tofu probably also works well with them, although you probably want to add that at the end, lest you want your whole soup to taste smokey. 🙃

  • Just read this as "Columbus-era Arby's" and was thoroughly confused...

  • What are you doing this weekend?

  • A few weeks ago, I threw down a CLI for getting web-links for a local repo, so you could e.g. run forge path docs/index.md and it would give you a permalink for your GitHub/Codeberg/etc. repo to that index.md file.Now I've used it for a few weeks and I'm realizing all the dumb assumptions I've made about how Git repos work.

    For example, there's also a subcommand forge issue 123, which gives you a link to issue #123, but of course, it's not necessarily true that you actually have your issues where your code lives. You might have a separate JIRA, or you might be working on a fork from which you'll post a PR later.

    Now I'm trying to figure out how to make it work at the very least for my own use-cases, ideally without requiring configs for every repo.

    But yeah, it's great fun. Some excellent puzzles and also very humbling, because I'm pretty much supposed to be an expert in Git and yet:

    1. you suddenly see me googling shit like "git fetch vs. push url", and
    2. I struggle just as much to formulate proper requirements as our customers at $DAYJOB.

  • 'This Is Unbelievably Scummy' - GTA 6 Fans Are Annoyed By Netflix's Paywalled Extended Look at the Game

  • I also really wouldn't get my hopes up that it's particularly different from GTA 5. The setting is still just realism, so they can't change much in terms of gameplay or art style, not even the storytelling can go too far off the rails.

    The graphics and world simulation will likely be more, uh, realistic, but you'd really need to get a lot of enjoyment out of fine details for that to make much of a difference...

  • Why do so many programming languages have their own package manager?

    Jump

  • You want some way to define package versions in your repository, so that you can check out an earlier commit or a different branch and still have a working build. Because you do often need to adjust the code in your repo when dependencies get updated.

    And going upwards from there, I think that languages are just a point where it's quite natural for this to be solved, since the language creators care to build up an ecosystem and it does help when you can make language-specific assumptions.

    I do think, it's possible to create a package manager that spans across programming languages, like Nix is starting to be viable for.But you need that to be ready when a new programming language is starting to take off. For all the languages you listed, that choice was made many years ago and you can't easily reverse it.

  • What are these "bowls" for

    Jump

  • Maybe it's a fruit basket? Like for apples, oranges, bananas etc.?

  • NetworkManager Adopts Policy For AI Coding Assistants

    Jump

  • You are the one certifying that the contribution can be released under LGPL-2.1-or-later.

    I mean, that is entirely non-negotiable, but it also effectively means that you're just not allowed to generate larger chunks of code.Because it's impossible for a human to know that a generated chunk of code was taken from another project in a (largely) verbatim form.

  • I think the internet is broken, and it's broken at it's core

  • If we're talking just text content with not really any interactive elements (beyond a navigation menu), then look into "static site generators".

    They allow you to write your blog posts or whatever in Markdown. You can pick out a theme. And then they'll generate HTML+CSS+JS, which you can push onto a web server.

  • It's quite a recent addition to Unicode, so I choose to believe they wanted to write this emoji program for many years already, but couldn't until now. 🫪

  • Python does it, too. ¯(ツ)_/¯

    Makes it real fun when one of your dependencies requires, say, Python 3.12 and another breaks on 3.9+.

  • You have no choice

    Jump

  • In the past, I'd sometimes use Google for image reverse search, when the other engines didn't turn up anything. Since they integrated that AI overview, that's basically broken, as it only shows relevant results for maybe 10% of my queries.

    I don't know how they managed to break that, like I'm not on the AI overview tab. I just want the functionality they supported for the past 10+ years.

  • rust-lang/rust is adopting an LLM policy

    Jump

  • Oof, lots of valid points, especially that the value of a contribution is in the decisions it makes. Having an LLM guess those decisions makes the resulting code significantly less valuable.

    Hell, one could argue pretty much entirely worthless, because the maintainers could prompt an LLM themselves, if the decisions didn't matter.

  • Adult life in 2026, so beautiful

    Jump

  • Sure, I guess, for trying out what a bidet would be like, you can do that.

    For more regular usage, though, when you can't install a proper bidet, I would recommend investing the 10-20 bucks for a travel bidet. It's a lot easier/quicker, when the splash water goes straight into the toilet and you don't have to completely take off your pants+socks...

  • Soft-deprecating chrono and chrono-tz

    Jump

  • Yeah, thought they were just gonna recommend the time crate (which has seen some modernization over the years).

    Kind of unfortunate that the ecosystem is even more fragmented than I thought, but jiff is being developed by Andrew Gallant, who's on the Rust team, so that has the potential to become the new standard...

    Jump

  • You can also get a travel bidet, if you can't permanently install one, or just want to try it out. It's basically just a squeeze bottle with a nozzle...

  • Codeberg had a major outage today! About 7 hours of complete down (July 31, 2026)

  • I write this as a paying member of the Codeberg e.V., just so you know where my affiliation lays.

    • https://sr.ht/ is also reasonably popular, although the web interface is certainly a lot more minimal. SourceHut development and hosting of that instance and lots of other stuff is spearheaded by Drew DeVault. I have my disagreements with the guy technologically, but he holds solid views ethically, so passes the vibe check for me.
    • https://notabug.org/ has also been around for quite a few yeaes, and hosted by the https://peers.community/ non-profit. Alas:
    • Disroot also has a Forgejo instance: https://git.disroot.org/Disroot is a community kind of pursuing decentralization and privacy online. Also been around for quite a few years by now.
