Joshua Ashton has written his first Wayland protocol extension to help with Vulkan getting blocked when presenting a new buffer on a hidden surface. Glad how it came out! (I've been helping on the side.)

And that's the reason why I didn't want to write GitLab CI templates.
Naive patch that doesn't use CI templates: +104
CI templates patch: +1257

The new crocus driver for older Intel iGPUs has been merged!

I've written a soju script for WeeChat. No need to manually add new servers anymore: for each network the bouncer is connected to, the script will automatically add a new WeeChat server.
*Finally* got some time to add FreeBSD CI to Wayland!

Great… Instead of helping out with standardizing protocols, Chromium is just adding support for GNOME-specific APIs.

#GCC does away with the requirement for copyright assignments to the FSF:

I think it’s a wise decision in this day and age. 👍
Observation: collapsing may be designed so that it doesn't loose information. Hiding will always loose information.
Whether that lost information is useful or not is the main question here.
In your IRC client, do you prefer:
1. Part/join/quit messages to be collapsed together?
2. Part/join/quit messages to be hidden unless the user has recently talked? (like described in https://blog.weechat.org/post/2008/10/25/Smart-IRC-join-part-quit-message-filter)
Does (2) fail for some use-cases?
TBF, the true precursors were Oragono/Ergo: https://ergo.chat/gamja/
(And chat history is working with a vanilla IRC server there!)
And now on tilde.chat as well: https://tilde.chat/gamja/
gamja has been deployed as an experimental IRC client on Libera Chat \o/

andrew lee just seized over 700 channels on freenode because they mentioned libera.chat in their topic.
This includes projects like openbsd, wikimedia, FOSDEM, etc.
https://archive.is/uHw1g shows 720 channels that match what is being checked.
here's an example log: https://gist.github.com/pushcx/ab2a1d5b1d18e964c581ef18ccb3a79f
boost this if you care about foss in any way.
I spend some time wondering why a bunch of nonsensical browser tabs like "info:" and weird IP addresses were opened when I start Firefox. It took me a while to realize that my my launcher script was appending garbage to launched commands, because my terminal emulator was printing some log messages to stdout instead of stderr…
