I've switched out npm/yarn for Bun just to try it out.

`npm run` => `bun run`
`npm install` => `bun install`

...and, everything works? I'm trying it so far on some Astro sites expecting things to break, but... it's so seamless.

Honestly blown away by #bun's goal of Node.js compatibility.

The year is 2038. Craigslist still uses its 1998-era HTML and Perl CGI script. It is the fastest, most usable, and most accessible web site on the planet. The New York Times front page is 6 TiB. Gmail UI elements have 17 distinct border radii.

Last night @bcantrill and I celebrated the 20th (!) anniversary of DTrace by taking a walk through its history. Thanks to all the Oxide Friends who joined us live and thank you to everyone who has used DTrace, ported it to various platforms, filed bugs, filed CVEs, added features, fixed bugs, shown up to dtrace.conf, written blogs.. we’re so fortunate and so appreciative and would never have predicted any of these things 20 years ago.

Writing that 4.2 announcement, it won't be too long from now. Focusing on just a few big things, but there are so many tiny improvements that make it feel so much more complete...

@kornel while waiting for patches - Firefox about:config allows for `image.webp.enabled` to be set to false.

The sent accept header won't contain webp anymore and firefox refuse to render a webp image

I feel like the bar for Chinese restaurants in the Midwest is so low that if you just have a reasonably sized menu that actually says what's in each dish, you're automatically in the top like 5%.

There's CVE-2023-4863 for actively exploited #WebP vulnerability in Chrome.

edit: affects other browsers too,
so most likely everything with WebP is vulnerable. There are buffer-overflow-patching commits added to libwebp very recently.

Persona 5 is so funny.

"You stopped a powerful man from harassing a woman but he drunkenly fell over and pressed charges. As punishment, you will be given an off-campus apartment in Tokyo. Your only adult supervision doesn't keep tabs on you while you're outside or after 9PM. This is literally Alcatraz"

Got tired of constantly adjusting the volume between songs in Apple Music, so I opened the settings to see if there was some kind of option to normalize playback volume between tracks.

Turns out: it was not only there, it was already checked. 🙃
