During my work on Lux, I noticed an oddity in luarocks and launched a month-long investigation. luarocks.org had a critical RCE allowing anyone to gain root access to the site with a package upload. I will launch a blog post describing how the exploit works soon. luarocks.org/security-inc...

Secure paste has been merged into GrapheneOS to provide a replacement for focused apps being able to read the clipboard: github.com/GrapheneOS/p...

if omarchy is a distro does that mean i can call my nixos flake a distro?

We strongly recommend against buying Pixel 11 devices. Pixel 8, 9 and 10 have much better overall security for GrapheneOS. Pixel 10 is cheaper with similar hardware and MTE. Pixel 11's Titan M3 should improve BFU security for users without a strong passphrase, but losing MTE craters AFU security.

Wrote a little quickstart and background for how to my Elixir atproto OAuth library to build apps. Definitely planning to write more content like this! Atproto enables building really interesting apps and experiences, and #ElixirLang is a great language for it jola.dev/posts/latch-...

My company will unfortunately cease operations next week. If anyone knows of any remote opportunities, I'd be grateful; bonus points if it's something with Elixir :)

It's about time! Norgolith 1.0 is finally here. A norg-native SSG made with Rust, with just over two years of development. Incremental rebuilds, asynchronous workflow, C ABI plugins, sandboxing, and more. Check it out! :) norgolith.dev/posts/releas... #norg #rust #ssg #web

Huge updates for Lux! The recently implemented 2FA will prevent a class of API key hijacking attacks present throughout programming today. vhyrro.neorg.org/posts/rocks-...

Just in case anyone I know who follows me sees anything related: I'm fine, and so is my family.

There's still a long way to go, but thanks to #elixir and #rust, it's becoming possible to make a WYSIWYG editor for #norg using TipTap. All conversions and serializations happen in Elixir using the rust-norg parser via NIFs, TipTap only receives the data!

Not sure what all the fuss is about Elixir? We've broken down the syntax, core features, and history of one of the most celebrated languages for fault tolerance and concurrency. Start here. 👇 erlang-solutions.com/blog/what-is-elixir

Norg's rust parser also received lots of optimizations alongside an update to chumsky 0.13. It's not merged yet, but it's a testable branch. It's being used in the new version of Norgolith (I haven't released it yet) and everything is going wonderfully! github.com/nvim-neorg/r...

After a lot of development over the last 4 days, Norgolith's next update will be huge: insane performance improvements, tons of bug fixes, and a few new features. And yes, those 70ms can be even less thanks to the implementation of incremental rebuilds! :)

My courier will send me my router with OpenWrt this Friday; it'll be a long 8-day wait, but I'm sure it'll be worth it! I've figured out I can pay my ISP a little extra to get rid of cgNAT as well, so... Time to get more powerful at home, yay! Any ideas on what to do with my old router? :)

I can do this now

Validating email addresses is hard, but if you're using Elixir/Erlang, gen_smtp ships with an RFC 5322 parser! And it's easy to wire it up to an Ecto changeset: gist.github.com/wmnnd/25defa... #elixirlang #myelixirstatus

Oooh, fancy preview with "View publication" button, what's this!? Learned about @standard.site the other day and had to try it out for myself. Shared the steps and code required to do it in #ElixirLang jola.dev/posts/publis...

The cycle of a gamer continues.

And so people say that LLMs will put developers out of work. That's great about Microslop making sure to prove the exact opposite.

Over the past months, a dedicated team conducted the first comprehensive third-party security audit of Hex.pm and its surrounding ecosystem. This work was carried out as part of the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation’s Ægis initiative. 👉 hex.pm/blog/securit...

It's been a long time since I've done a blog post, any ideas what my comeback should be about? I have several ideas in mind. My life has changed a lot for the better lately too, it would be interesting to be able to recount that :) And yes, I have a huge rant about markdown in a draft blog post too

Stop using nil to signal failure. Elixir uses tagged tuples to turn success and failure into explicit data. When the shape of your data is the contract, you spend less time checking for special cases and more time writing clear logic. grox.io/blog/20-when... #ElixirLang

Lux now prevents privilege escalation and malicious Lua scripts from doing any damage to your host system. After thousands of changes and hours of debugging, say hello to sandboxing! 🚀🔥 opencollective.com/lumen-labs/u...

Castlevania Belmont's Curse coming 2026

Should culture fit be a factor in hiring, or is tech skill sufficient? To me, software development is first and foremost a social activity performed by humans, with all the baggage that comes with being human. Technical competence is nice, but it is not the core of who we are. 1/10

I don't usually talk about politics, but I can't help but rant—it's unbelievable how many people are complaining about what happened in my country last night and telling Venezuelans that we are wrong about our own situation. Heck I've lived under socialism my whole life and I'm kinda happy now sybau

I might be cooking something for #norg yet again because why not? It's also my perfect excuse to give the Elixir-Rust interoperability with the rustler library a try. Development can be slow until I'm on vacation, but I'm overall happy with the current progress (just the front page for now lmao)

Small update: Luanox v0.2 has been released (2 weeks ago). Since we didn't announce it anywhere, I think it's still worth it mentioning. This release contains lots of bug fixes, a few features to improve the overall UI/UX and a small security patch. There's more to come! github.com/lumen-oss/lu...

I decided to dualboot my old Intel MacBook using NixOS. The performance difference is huge, and the processor no longer overheats! It was very satisfying to see how everything worked almost OOTB and with almost no tweaking compared to other distros and I reused nearly all of my desktop Nix flake :)

Designing for mobile-first in frontend development is fun... Until you come across mobile devices that for some reason have a viewport width less than 365 pixels. In some cases, they completely break CSS and you have to deal with edge cases. Why don't companies make phones with a viewport standard?
