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.

@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

Mastodon FeedThere'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.
