Day 1 of #GitHubUniverse is done. Had a real blast helping hack the Raspberry Pi Pico “Tufty” badge in the maker space.

.NET STS releases are now supported for 2 years instead of 18 months starting with .NET 9 (the current STS). STS releases now go out-of-support on the same day as the previous LTS release. Upgrading to an STS release will no longer cause you to lose support!

@RickStrahl - probably old news for you but thought I'd share just in case - SQL Server 2025 CTP removes the installer block on Arm. Download the x64 and choose the basic install, it will install the x64 version without frills. This runs fine under emulation.

While I was out on vacation last month I missed the Arm Developer Program celebrating its second birthday. I'm incredibly proud to be associated with the program as an Arm ambassador helping bring developers into the Arm ecosystem.

System76's Thelio Astra is a quiet monster—it's by far the world's fastest Arm PC, and it starts at half the price of the Mac Pro.

So I get a notification (DM actually that I was added to someone’s block list because I’m following a potential troll). How do I tell who that troll is? Or is this a scam and the list creator are themselves a troll?

Yippee, Kay-Yay!

Who else agree Die Hard is a holiday movie? They don’t always have to be set in your stereotypical small town coffee/book shop with soft focus.

Vacationing in India where the traffic is always chaotic and everybody honks non-stop. My 10yo quips they’re not honking, they’re saying hi as they pass each other 😀 Makes sense.

Done watching the latest season of Slow Horses on AppleTV+. Love the genre but my SO cannot help falling asleep while watching just like she did with The Americans (another spy show set during the Cold War). Got suggestions for more spy shows?
