Just read this fantastic article from Maciej Mensfeld about strange corruption in the ffi gem - I love it when people don’t take 🤷🤷 for an answer and keep digging until they _know_ what happened and don’t need to guess! mensfeld.pl/2025/11/ruby...

When Your Hash Becomes a String: Hunting Ruby's Million-to-One Memory Bug

An "impossible" Ruby bug: Hashes becoming Strings at runtime. 2,700 identical crashes. No corruption. Just objects changing what they are. Deep dive.

Dear gem maintainers 👋 Rails 8.1 just dropped, but many gems can’t be used because of overly strict gemspec constraints. Please don’t hard-restrict Rails versions, let us test early and report real issues sooner! ❤️ Thanks

Putin dodging sanctions by having oil refined in India/sent on to Aust. Brought Moscow $1.85bn since 2023. CREA* wants ban on refined fuel using Russian crude. UK closed similar loophole over Russian steel. Over to you, Canberra (will you stand up to importers like Melbourne-based Viva Energy?)

Have to assume the main reason for asking for the recount was to cause Tim Wilson to issue the grotesquely smug statement he just did and get started on reminding us all what he’s like. Every time he gets the chance to show some grace in winning… he doesn’t.

It is the year 40,000. The Emperor of Mankind requires the sacrifice of approximately 1,000 souls per day to maintain his existence and the Imperium's connection to the Golden Throne. The Book of Judgement, maintained by the Adeptus Arbities is 95% comprised of appeals by RBS.

From fighting for nest materials, to traveling hundreds of km for 2 months to find food, Penguin Mothers are tough & dedicated. Caloric needs and harsh conditions only allow one egg per mom, per season. Among thousands of others, mates & chicks can always recognize mom’s unique, loving call ❤️

The ALP dumping Ed Husic is just a confirmation of how much change is still needed. Absolutely gross decision given what he has had to do and done for the party over the past 2 years.

Look I knocked on a lot of doors for @zoedaniel.bsky.social , and I’m as heartbroken at the result here as anyone. She was a fantastic MP and I’m bitterly disappointed to not see her returned. That said, it’s a mistake to look at this and say “it’s the voters who are wrong”. They never are.

The Liberals and Advance and the Zionist lobby joined to run a vicious smear campaign on the ground in Kooyong and Goldstein (they also targeted Allegra Spender in her seat) Not much about it in the broader media but it was off the charts vicious

Anybody know if there are usually any significant effects as to the first batch of postal votes counted not being 100% representative of how the rest go? Asking as a very concerned Goldsteinian… 😢
