leosarev··on Let's Encrypt bans certificate usage in any US sanctioned territory [pdf]
This page is blocked for me from server's end. I'll try later using VPN, but looks like it won't work :-)

I hope not. We don't have any alternatives yet.
leosarev··on Managed Nationalism
I'm a Russian native speaker and that's first time that I hear these term ever.
leosarev··on Package managers need to cool down
Package manager should be pinning exact versions and never updating anything unless my manifest changing. Ever.

Cooldown should be feature of dependabot/renovate/etc

leosarev··on Notepad++ hijacked by state-sponsored actors
Safe and socially acceptable: "war is bad and I wish it will end sooner". "We should be friends with Ukraine and/or West". "Putin was not right to start a war". "I want that Putin resigns and/or voted out"

Safe for regular person, but socially risky: "We should surrender and pay reparations" "This war is totally Putin'a fault" "Putin is corrupt dictator" "Zelensky is a good guy"

Could in theory lead to a fine and/or losing job, but mostly safe: "I support Navalny", donation to ACF or some kind of western-affiliated NGO.

Could lead to a fine and/or prison time, when it done in social media or on the square: "Slava Ukraine", Butcha fakes, Let's willingly donate to Ukraine war effort, etc

I'm writing this comment from Russia, St. Petersburg, and yes, you can be against the Ukraine war in Russia.

> Taiwan has and always will be a province of china

You know that's official position of 99% countries in the world, including all superpowers and every NATO member?

leosarev··on The super-slow conversion of the U.S. to metric (2025)
Ironically, a lot of countries with metric system calling half inch pipe a "1/2" :-)
leosarev··on CATL expects oceanic electric ships in three years
There are operating nuclear powered ocean vessels for decades.

leosarev··on CATL expects oceanic electric ships in three years
Much more economically feasible than battery powered ones.
leosarev··on CATL expects oceanic electric ships in three years
Russia is operating nuclear civil vessels (icebreakers) since 1957
leosarev··on Ukraine destroys more than 40 military aircraft in drone attack deep in Russia
Actually, both. Perimeter dead hand system algorithm: 1. If perimeter have been activated 2. AND there is nuclear explosion at russian territory 3. AND there is no connection to commander-in-chief

THAN release launch codes to every local military commander.

leosarev··on Restructuring Announcement
I worked at middle-sized company that instituted a pay cuts, cutting all bonuses and stopping raises. After year, company lost almost every person in tech managenent and most of team leaders, their clients actively executing forking rights and no one believes in company future now.

I once heard wise words from some CEO. In harsh times, clients do not want cheaper and worse services from us. They want less services. So we are moving out headcount down, while keeping pay and even execute raises for those who stay.

leosarev··on Svelte 5 is not JavaScript
Except usual time to upgrade to next version of .net is less than man day.
leosarev··on Ruby “Thread Contention” Is Simply GVL Queuing
Intresting that this problem (IO-bound threads should have priority over CPU-bound threads) already solved at OS level (most OSes will give priority boost to thread that was unblocked because of end of IO operation in hope that thread will soon block with another operation).
leosarev··on From where I left
No, we can provide proprietary scripts that install GPLed software (i.e. setup Linux machines), but can't provide proprietary scripts that install AGPL.
leosarev··on Dear OAuth Providers
Dear telegram! Why you have something that resembles OAuth, but not OAuth? Please create OAuth compliant endpoint. Thank you
leosarev··on From where I left
I'm a vendor of some packaged on-premise solution. We are using a Redis as a cache layer inside. Risk of being forced to GPL out our installer is unacceptable for us.
leosarev··on Docker Compose Isn't Enough
I also think that both docker-compose & k8s & helm are wrong layer of abstraction. I see a lot of people building a opinionated way to run containers and way for them to communicate with another, to request a DB or a redis.

I like to name some such attempts: - .NET Aspire - Avito Plato (home grown PaaS of ¨russian Amazon") - infrastructure layer of our ZIIoT (MES platform on top of k8s)

leosarev··on A comparison of Rust’s borrow checker to the one in C#
> Maybe I’m bad at searching for these things, but these changes to C# seem to have gone completely under the radar in places where you read about memory safety and performance.

The reason is this changes are not aimed on average Joe developer writing C# microservices. This changes and whole Span/ref dialect of C# are aimed on Dr. Smartass developer writing C# high performance libraries. It's advance-level feature.

leosarev··on Initial details about why CrowdStrike's CSAgent.sys crashed
Why is so?
leosarev··on Initial details about why CrowdStrike's CSAgent.sys crashed
There is sandboxing API in Windows. It's called running programs in userspace.
leosarev··on pg_timeseries: Open-source time-series extension for PostgreSQL
Money is not only diffrentiator. For example, sometimes you couldn't just buy something, because they won't sell. Or stop selling to you.
leosarev··on It is illegal for YouTube to have ads in albania
Also, YouTube stopped to show ads to Russian users :-)
leosarev··on 95% of container ships are now going around the Southern Tip of Africa
"the Russians aren't really heartbroken about it" - I don't understand this. How you can make such assumptions about hearts? Definitely there is a grief from common Russian people and denial of willingness from Russian propaganda. I don't know if Putin personally "heartbroken" and neither do you.
leosarev··on 95% of container ships are now going around the Southern Tip of Africa
Yes, Russia army attacked electric infrastructure, that's common knowledge. No, there is no use of precision weapons to willingly attack apartment houses, that's definitely a lie.

There is a lot of cases of Ukrainian army to use indiscriminate and "dumb" weapons to attack civilian districts of Donetsk (and now, Belgorod) just to terrorize population.

leosarev··on 95% of container ships are now going around the Southern Tip of Africa
Using cruise missiles to terrorise civilian population will be incredibly stupid move. Hits into houses are usually accidental. If you want to terrorise civilian population, it's so much cost effective to use cheaper unguided rockets from MLRS systems or artillery shells. You have this news in your echo chamber, haven't you?
leosarev··on Shellcheck finds bugs in your shell scripts
I say ten. Ten lines maximum
leosarev··on The Windows installer of ImageMagick will no longer be signed
I think it would be fine to have code signing certificate ensures that signer controls a certain DNS name.

I'm fine with "installer have been signed with somebody who owns imagemagick.org"
