If you use Bazel for builds, the https://releases.bazel.build and https://bcr.bazel.build certs expired today...and have not yet been renewed (see https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/28101). Any builds with Bazel will break because of this. I discovered this myself while working on something

It’s that time of year again where I try different egg nogs and share my unasked for opinion! This year’s entry in “NogOff 2025”: Elmhurst Oat Nog.
Not bad! It has a bit of a chalky aftertaste, but not overwhelmingly so. Of the non-dairy options I’ve had, it’s probably the best so far.

Our first winter with an EV! We definitely noticed some reduced range, so we have to charge it more frequently. Not really a big deal (we have level 2 charging in our garage). The cabin heats up so much faster! And no more "Is it too cold for our car to start?" anxiety. ⚡️❄️👍

As a long-time Jenkins user I have to say: the latest UI improvements are really nice! I run a local copy (via Homebrew) to keep up with the latest and it looks so much better.
