@_elena, you and @Gina did a fantastic job in running the "Decentralisation" tracks so all the merit goes to you and naturally all the great speakers you welcomed in the tracks.

Shall we do it again next year?

Dear Fedi friends,

My heart is full after spending two inspiring days in Luxembourg at #OSCL26.

I'd love to thank @paolo for giving me and @Gina the fantastic opportunity to co-organize the "decentralized technologies for digital sovereignty" track. It was an incredible experience.

And HUGE thanks to all our phenomenal speakers: @laurenshof
@YRAR

This community is amazing ❤️

Sometimes, as a distraction, I run Hollywood on a textmode console on a Linux machine at work that's otherwise idle.

People who have used textmode before don't think anything weird could be hiding in it. Everyone else thinks it's totally jacked in to The Matrix.

New #Plushtodon colours now available for pre-orders on our shop! This is a way to support our work and get a squishy friend at the same time.

@evan@cosocial.ca indeed I have 😄 the issue's come up a bunch but when @edent@mastodon.social ran a public test, his internationalized handle was accepted ok.

It's confirmed in code (all paths run through this regex):

const webfingerRegex = /^(@|acct:)?[\p{L}\p{N}\p{M}_.-]+@.+$/u;

There were two places that could be cause for concern:

1. My Activity Intents implementation (@benpate@mastodon.social) uses a naive regular expression that only accepts ASCII, but this is not webfinger and is a bug I can fix to use the proper regular expression.

2. Requests to NodeBB requesting the unicode form of a domain will not match, because NodeBB expects punycode. This is compliant with the RFC. Likely browsers will natively translate unicode to punycode over the wire, but uncertain here.

Both of those are relatively minor, so broadly, NodeBB checks all the boxes.

@prex @ratcatcher @Mastodon You can thank the PPWR for that!

So RIP Deno… They are stopping work on the runtime over the next 12 months.
I was hoping that we could some day have a Node.js alternative with a more modern interface/tooling, but with this and Bun now being part of Anthropic and vibe-(re)coded to the extreme, it does not seem it will happen.

… and I was quite right to be doubtful of the longevity of those 2 at the start, they both raised money and I could not see how they could continue to exists long-term and keep their investors happy.
