FOSDEM 2026: Evolving Git for the next decade

OK, cool. I’m on a JJ bandwagon now, but good to see improvements in Git.

This so fits what I’ve been thinking about everything.

I forgot to mention my latest project:

SelfCI is a minimalistic local-first Unix-philosophy-abiding CI.

It’s been very handy, especially in the smaller projects of mine like Rostra.

Emoji auto-completion.

I’ve just added support for Iroh relay-model and made it the default for Rostra. This will make all communication go though Iroh relay, so no more exposing IPs to other users.

This can be disabled with --public command line argument which is useful when better bandwidth is desired and IP exposure is not an issue.

IP exposure is rarely an issue, but Rostra is trying to be as private by default as possible.

Mood today.

What if I told you can now share media files over Rostra:

And if you need to share some data, it works too: 5120 bytes of randomness

I was just recently thinking that if I was him I would have spent quite a bit of resources figuring out and publishing every little detail of it. And whole year nothing? And given how much of a liar he turned out to be, it’s quite clear that it was all staged. The security wasn’t lame because they were trying. It was bad because it was staged. I couldn’t tell how exactly it was done, but my thoughts so far has aligned with what’s in the videos.

Joke on me. I admit I was a sucker. Happens.

Rostra pro-tip. You can use ctrl+enter when posting, and then shift+ctrl+enter to approve the preview.

I think I can say it here, because barely anyone is reading it.

Took me till now, when I’m over 40, to realize that I actually always liked NSYNC more than Backstreet Boys.
