The Hypertext Transfer Protocol, or HTTP, is used to load webpages using hypertext links, and it’s the foundation of the web. Tim Berners-Lee famously created HTTP version 0.9 in 1989, and defined the essential behavior of a client and a server. Version 1.0 was eventually finalized in 1996, and its secure variant called HTTPS is
In this episode, the CHAOSScast team is back! Georg Link, Dawn Foster, Sean Goggins, Matt Germonprez, and Elizabeth Barron discuss the relaunch of the podcast after taking a short break. They delve into the fascinating world of open source community health, focusing on metrics, metric models, and the CHAOSS Project’s role in measuring the health of open source communities. They share insights on how they’re working to make metrics more accessible and how they interpret these metrics within the context of specific projects. Additionally, they highlight the Data Science Initiative, the growth of CHAOSS community chapters worldwide, and their initiative to improve newcomer experience and promote diversity and inclusion in open source.

On October 11th, WireMock Inc together with the London Java Community organised a hack day in our new office in London. This event was held as a part of Hacktoberfest. We got 16 participants and worked together on a few projects like YAML configuration support in WireMock, OpenTelemetry integrations, improving documentation and Kotlin DSL, and more.
I'm way too old to realize that people can't read me (which, come on, should be no surprise, kids never got me either) - I have realized that a bunch of people in my life think I am unhappy with them. When the truth is: I am in absolute awe of them, and feel deeply deficient in comparison. It does not help that I never realized this. How does one convince people that you think they are wonderful? Asking for a me.
Brian Proffitt is the Senior Manager of Community Outreach at Red Hat’s OSPO. In this episode, we connect at the Open Source Summit EU to discuss how Brian uses events to drive both lead generation and community-building efforts. Throughout our conversation, Brian describes how measuring the ROI...
What’s funny about being non-binary is that, to me, I’m the normal one. I think our whole thing just kind of works, no? You’re all just being silly about colors and stuff. We’re the main characters of gender, just admit it.
The United States is like a villain from a scooby doo episode. In every episode the “monster” is a person of color, or illegal immigrant, or an LGBTQ person. But when they catch the “monster” and pull its mask off. It’s old man US government every god damn time.
My supervisor complains
that everyone is sick
on any given day
half the office is empty
and yet he has noticed
that I am always at my desk
so he asks what my secret is
and so I reply that I must be lucky
as I adjust the straps on my mask.
Writing my thoughts down as I start a potentially long process of something and writing "Whatever and whenever it happens, I'm still me :)" just felt nice, a reminder to myself that ultimately I'm still the same, I might just have some more answers to some things in my life

I really try not to be overly critical of local government, having worked there and knowing the pressures.
But this advice in this day and age is indefensible. The service itself has a load balancer in front of it. All it needs is an HTTPS certificate and a routing rule to terminate HTTPS connections.
Tomorrow, toddler permitting, I will have time to update my talks page (https://ohhelloana.blog/talks/) to include my latest and future talks as well as the link to my most recent interview!
I really enjoy doing the interviews & guest writing - I love the prompts and that I don't have to rush doing it.
So yeah, I'm keen to do more of it! Let me know! 💖
I had a chat with @proactivepaul@mastodon.social about Barcamp. Turns out it’s not hosted in a bar, nor is it a camping trip.
It’s a gathering of people geeking out over whatever they want to talk about. I’m looking forward to learning a lot of random facts next month!

Another day, another HN comment thread that's mostly full of people complaining about someone's use of furry art in a technical post.
This time, however, it's not me, Xe, or Cendyne that they're bitching about!

The whole bad space thing and blocking tech.lgbt from other instances is absolutely insane.
Some of the instances involved haven't blocked mastodon.social (which is full of basically anything and tons of random abuse because it's so big), but are blocking tech.lgbt.
As usual, queer people are hyper-scrutinised, and all it takes is one terminally online with an unhealthy obsession to find a way to frame an entire community as fundamentally evil based on some questionable disagreements.
Don't use block lists. You really don't want your blocking decisions to be based on people who add things to a list on a whim with no accountability and oversight.
But even outside of block lists... god when are progressive communities going to get over this obsession with performative punishment and branding people as bad?
I've never seen this instance allow bad people to stay, moderators always take care of things, and they're usually pretty responsive. It's beyond absurd to block tech.lgbt

This is why the GOV.UK Prototype Kit is so important

I've been sent some bone-conducting Bluetooth headphone which - so the manufacturer says - are waterproof.
I don't have a swimming pool at home (😢 ) so I'm going to try them out in the shower.
There won't be any videos - but if this thing electrocutes my head please know that I died doing what I love; dicking around with weird gadgets from China.
The second annual Petaluma Pride Festival was a wild success, and waaay bigger than anticipated.
Now it's time to rest, recover, ... and do the bookkeeping.
I spend an unreasonable amount of time making sure my blog renders well even if CSS isn't loaded.
Whether it's a dodgy Internet connection, a text-only browser, or something else - it's nice knowing that my blog is in a logical order and perfectly usable without decorations.
So fire up Lynx or w3m and take a look at your site. What do you need to change?
Just found the Google Sound Amplifier app for people who need ambient noises amplified.
Really useful! Needs headphones in but definitely boosts.
Except it only uses the phone microphone.
You can't attach a different microphone and set it to use that.
Alternatives?

Google recently killed off Pixel Pass, a service that would upgrade your Pixel phone after two years and include some extra goodies, like YT Premium, and 200 GB of Drive. It lasted for only 23 mont...
Gerhard joins us for the 12th Kaizen and this time talk about what we DIDN’T do. We were holding S3 wrong, we put some cash back in our pockets, we enabled HTTP/3, Brotli compression, and Fastly websockets, we improved our SLOs, we improved Changelog Nightly, and we’re going to KubeCon 2023 in Chicago.
"Unleash your Creativity with the power of Leonardo Ai "
Maybe change that to "unleash your ability to generate images based on the *actual* talents of others with unethical art sourcing while claiming that you're a creative person because you don't care"
