In-reply-to » Markdown and the Slow Fade of the Formatting Fetish - a nice article about Markdown VS proprietary formatting. With quotes like "Microsoft Office works in an office where you pretend to work until you can finally go home." 😄

@arne@uplegger.eu I’m very glad I only rarely have to deal with .docx & Co. And when I have to, 99% is in read mode only. Even though, I don’t think that Markdown is the best choice, I use it on a daily basis. Some things, like links, in reStructuredText are better in my opinion.

Jira just resists to switch to Markdown and forces us to use its silly markup language.

For real typesetting, LaTeX is the way to go. But I very, very rarely do that.

In-reply-to » @lyse I do agree "the rules of the web", are far too loose - at least the syntax ones. I do think backwards compatibility is necessary.

@thecanine@twtxt.net My apologies, mate! :-( As @david@collantes.us pointed out, this was definitely not my intent at all.

For the easter egg hunt, I first looked for a hidden image map link on the pixel dog in the right lower corner itself. Maybe one giant pixel just links to somewhere else, I figured. But I couldn’t find any and then quickly moved on. Hence, I naturally viewed the HTML source. Because where else would be a good hiding place for easter eggs, right?

Next, I noticed the <font> tags. I thought I had read quite some time ago that they are not an HTML5 thing, but wasn’t entirely sure about it. So, I asked the W3C HTML validator. Sure enough. I thought I let you know about the violations. If somebody had found a mistake on my site, I’d love to hear about it, so I could fix it. I’m sorry that my chosen form of report didn’t resonate with you all that well. I reckoned you’ll also find it a bit funny, but I was clearly very wrong on that.

I actually followed the dog cow link to the video, so I ended up on the easter egg. However, I didn’t recognize it as such. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Oh well.

Regarding my message about the browser quirks: I read your answer that you were arguing against the HTML validator findings. Of course, everybody can do with their sites whatever they likes.

[$] Page allocation for address-space isolation
Address-space isolation may well be, as Brendan Jackman said at the
beginning of his memory-management-track session at the 2025 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit, “some security
bullshit”. But it also holds the potential to protect the kernel from
a wide range of vulnerabilities, both known and unknown, while reducing the
impact of existing mitigations. Implementing address-space isolation with
reasonable performance, though, is going to require some signific … ⌘ Read more

[$] Better hugetlb page-table walking
The kernel must often step through the page tables of one or more processes
to carry out various operations. This “page-table walking” tends to be
performed by ad-hoc (duplicated) code all over the kernel. Oscar Salvador
used a memory-management-track session at the 2025 Linux Storage,
Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit to talk about strategies to
unify the kernel’s page-table walking code just a little bit by making
hugetlb pages look more like ordinary pages. ⌘ Read more

XMPP Interop Testing: Enabling Tests
Our project creates a framework that allows anyone to easily add XMPP standards compliance tests to the test phase of
their build pipeline. Prior to our most recent release (version 1.5.0) a test execution would basically run all tests
in the test suite. We provided an option to exclude certain tests, but in essence, the bulk of tests would execute.

This behavior is generally preferable when testing an XMPP server implementation. A benefit of exclusion-based

[$] Approaches to reducing TLB pressure
The CPU’s translation lookaside buffer (TLB) caches the results of
virtual-address translations, significantly speeding memory accesses. TLB

van Riel’s memory-management-track session at the 2025 Linux Storage,
