Experimental #CI for #rustlang projects hosted on @radicle.xyz

Check out blog.liw.fi/posts/2025/c...

Ambient, the CI engine in question, is maturing and could be an interesting contender as the default CI engine for radicle in the future.

my talk from web3summit is up:

I've timestamped the end where I do a short demo of radicle and radicle desktop - but the quality is kind of bad, so I should probably do a proper screen recording sometime soon

The long term value of Recreational Programming (apart from enabling you to enjoy what you are doing again) comes from allowing you to explore unusual things outside of the local optimum that the market pressure forces you into.

Using radicle with the ambient CI engine for #rustlang projects.

Hands on and deeply technical.

You can clone the archives from github.com/cryptoanarch... and use www.recoll.org for some #localfirst full text search if you are into that kind of stuff

That quote (1994) really captures my feelings around navigating content moderation in decentralized networks.

The #cypherpunk mailing list archives are full of conversations that feel more relevant than ever.

It didn't work for me even a few weeks ago on a fresh Chrome download — tried now and it works 🎉 Finally: Ed25519 support in all major browsers (Chrome was the holdout)

Thanks to @burrito.space , @igalia.com , @protocollabs.bsky.social & many others for ushering this multi-year process through 👏

Berlin showing its best side ☀️

Mosh @mosh.bsky.social · Jun 14

More urban delights from Berlin:

1. Containerized trash.

2. Neighborhood intersection, Friday 6p. 50+ walking, ~10 bikes, 2 cars. It's so QUIET all the time, even when full of people.

3. Tram is quiet, clean, smooth.

4. The correct size for a tree pit.

Why can't us?
