I’ve decided to go to Fosdem again this year, with no real plan on what to do. I’ll probably hang around the Rust devroom on Sunday. And go to two talks by a colleague.
I visited the Firefly Zero booth to try out the new hardware prototype. It looks and feels great. I also got to try my game Lampy in multiplayer, which was great. But it still got a bit sluggish with too many fireflies on screen. There’s more optimizations needed.
IsThatSlop.com is an open source community driven solution to detect AI slop.
I’m waiting for the first talk in the security devroom. It’s by my friend Olle E. Johansson on signing your artefacts.
Time for lightning lightning talks at Fosdem.
How to stay motivated as a solo maintainer of an open source project for 12 years. By Ramon Santamaria from raylib. This is the last talk of the day for me. I’m heading back to the hotel after this. I’m so tired after a whole day of talks.
We’re ready for the next talk in the Rust devroom at FOSDEM. It’s about Random Seeds and State Machines: an approach to deterministic simulation testing in Rust.
The room practically emptied after the coreutils talk. Now it’s time for a talk on Rethinking Network Services: Freedom and Modularity With Rama.
I’m at the Brussels airport waiting for my flight home from FOSDEM. it’s been great, but being stuck in the Rust devroom all day was a bit weird. I missed so much I wanted to see, but everything was so far away and at the same time as talks I wanted to see.
