Lamb 0.14.0
Originally written on lamb-releases:
Lamb 0.14.0 — Convergence This release is mostly internal: a sweep that converged ten duplicated mechanisms behind the recurring bugs (visibility rules, the post-write path, feed generation, config resolution, XML escaping), so the same fix no longer has to be made in several places. A handful of those changes are visible when you run a blog. Fixed
Menu pages no longer show up in the "Related" list on a post.

Lamb 0.13.0
Originally written on lamb-releases:
Lamb 0.13.0 is a large maintenance and hardening release: importers and a full site export, tighter Micropub handling, faster feeds and listings on big sites, and a broad security and bug-fix sweep. The minimum PHP version is now 8.4.

Lamb 0.13.0-rc2
Originally written on lamb-releases:
This pre-release builds on 0.13.0-rc1 with a large round of correctness and hardening fixes across posting, feeds, import/export, and the admin. All changes below are new since rc1. Upgrade notes
Lamb now checks at startup that the PDO driver for your database is actually loaded, and stops with a clear message if it isn't. Before upgrading, make sure the matching extension is installed — pdo_mysql for MySQL/MariaDB, pdo_sqlite for SQLite.

Gala-xy 0.2 released
Released version 0.2 of Gala-xy, my plugin for the Gala window manager.
After experimentation to enhance the default elementaryOS workflow and a few days switching to Gnome + PaperWM, I added a feature where you can switch between windows with a single keystroke, twice as fast as alt-tabbing,
Together with the focus ring around the active window, this creates a very smooth workflow, as elementaryOS itself already provides nice window management (hide, maximize, tiling, workspaces), and a great multimonitor workspace support (workspaces apply to the first monitor only, the windows on the second monitor are visible on all workspaceS).

Retelling by firelight Legends of the Sleeping Keeper
I've been building diagnostic tools for identifying and correcting errors with the syncing and backup process of the JottaCloud backup solution. Claude triggered my inner nerd, when after being questioned to review its size of the CLAUDE.md file where it stores its learning:
No hard limit is near; that's a comfortable size for a repo whose whole value is hard-won operational lore.
Operational lore! This reminded me of all the companionship and anecdotes shared when developers and friends of the industry meet up. So I asked it to track the lore of the project and turn it into the stuff of legend, "the same lore as
CLAUDE.md, told as it might be told by firelight three hundred years on, when nobody remembers what a daemon was".The result is surprisingly entertaining, so after a bit of iteration, you can now unravel the Legends of the Sleeping Keeper within the repo.

In reply to daringfireball.net
John Gruber writes about the difficult birth of Siri AI:
Last winter Apple sent an entire team, including engineers, to Brussels to present a proposal for the TSA (maybe that’s another acronym that needs rethinking on the basis of prior art) to ask, basically, “If we build this, would you deem it DMA-compliant?” and the Commission’s response was basically, “Build it first and then we’ll tell you, after we get feedback from your competitors on what they think of it.” And Apple doesn’t want to spend up to two years building a complex system, exclusively for the EU, only to find out then whether it was all for naught.
That sounds a bit like what all app developers have had to do since 2008, write the app only to find out Apple won’t approve it in the App Store? Now two wrongs don’t make a right, but it’s a little ironic. It’s not as if there are no rules for Apple to follow.
That said reality is more complicated than a quick take. #technology

Built a small tool jotta-canary which alerts your phone when a machine's Jottacloud sync folder stops syncing. Private repo for now, unless there's interest.

Lamb 0.13.0-rc1
Originally written on lamb-releases:
A release candidate for 0.13.0. Try it on a test install before you put it on a site you care about, and report anything that looks wrong. The headline is that you can now get your content out of Lamb and back into it: a full site export, and importers that read it back. Login also gets a brute-force throttle, and Micropub gains several fixes.
As its developer I use early versions on this very website, and imported two Known sites into this blog. #lamb #projects
