Open Source Software Developer, doing quite a bit of Forgejo development these days. My hobbies include poorly maintaining too many bicycles, running distances that are too far, GM-ing TTRPGs, and, well, more software development obviously.https://bsky.app/profile/mathieu.fenniak.nethttps://bsky.app/profile/mathieu.fenniak.net/post/3m4doc6t62224I remember learning to program leap year logic: divisible by 4, not divisible by 100, unless divisible by 400. Important knowledge in the year 2000, which hit all the conditions. In 2025 it feels quite arrogant to think my code is going to be running in another 75 years... or 375 years. 🤔29 Oct 2025 14:36 +0000at://did:plc:5mfd2zookxrlwsz7g2od2ep5/app.bsky.feed.post/3m4doc6t62224https://bsky.app/profile/mathieu.fenniak.net/post/3m3dgs35ls22vIf you're running a Forgejo instance and upgrading to v13 today (or soon), note the post-release recommendation to run the `avatar-strip-exif` command to enhance user privacy. https://forgejo.org/2025-10-release-v13-0/#avatar-image-privacy16 Oct 2025 18:57 +0000at://did:plc:5mfd2zookxrlwsz7g2od2ep5/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3dgs35ls22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/mathieu.fenniak.net/post/3m2wls36vhc2x@brettbergie.bsky.social Great responsible bike riding, ringing a bell as you pass a pedestrian on the pathway. 😂 I yelled "hey Brett!" as you passed but you were on a mission!11 Oct 2025 16:22 +0000at://did:plc:5mfd2zookxrlwsz7g2od2ep5/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2wls36vhc2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/mathieu.fenniak.net/post/3lw5i35wyj22rLooking for fall flu and COVID vaccines in Alberta?

They don't deteriorate like the paper ones that are given out now, and with their extreme strength they can be used to stir the Slurpee far earlier than any plastic straw ever could.28 May 2025 00:31 +0000at://did:plc:5mfd2zookxrlwsz7g2od2ep5/app.bsky.feed.post/3lq6xalarbs25https://bsky.app/profile/mathieu.fenniak.net/post/3lobpycojl22cWelp, looks like I need a new wheel on my gravel bike.

I guess I should issue a 99% reciprocal tariff on my grocery store.
