Building GNOME Apps with Rust, Part 6: Fetching Feeds

This is Part 6 of a series taking a GNOME app from an empty directory to GNOME Circle. Part 5 wired the sidebar to a real Feed GObject and a feed-selected signal — selecting a row updates the content pane and prints a line to the terminal. This is the post where that line stops being a placeholder and becomes a real network fetch. Select This Week in GNOME, then select Hacker News. The placeholder swaps in the new name and URL — everything the app knows about that feed, and none of what's actual

What Google’s Ongoing AI Overviews Testing Means for Recipe Publishers and SEO

Google continues to develop AI Overviews and AI Mode in Search, while a reported change involving AI-generated recipe images remains a matter for monitoring rather than a confirmed product update. The practical story for recipe publishers is broader: Search result presentation is evolving, and visibility may increasingly depend on how Google tests AI-led interfaces, evaluates content usefulness, and directs users toward publishers. The available official record supports ongoing experimentation,

LibreFang 2026.8.19 Released

LibreFang 2026.8.19 Released 474 PRs from 5 contributors since v2026.7.31. This release is a massive stability and security push. We've closed dozens of data-loss vectors, locked down SSRF, hardened atomic file writes throughout the daemon, and fixed a ton of edge cases that were silently failing or corrupting state. On the feature side: managed configuration mode for self-hosted deployments, long-form audio transcription that doesn't drop your 20-minute recordings, and Polish language support

24 of the 30 duplicate groups were not duplicates

We grouped an asset database by title and found 30 groups of "duplicates." Content hashing dissolved 24 of them. Five were real. One was unjudgeable — because the rows had no content at all. This is a field note on deduplication judgment, from auditing a store of AI-agent assets (conversations, skills, memories, instruction files) collected across many platforms. The numbers are from a live audit on 2026-08-19. The 30 groups came from exact title matches. That is a fine way to find candidates. I

The ledger said 763 assets. The platforms said about 400.

A sync ledger fails silently. Ours said 763 assets. When we stopped trusting it and counted by hand — opening 21 AI platforms in browser tabs, calling each platform's own API from the page context, comparing ID by ID — roughly 400 of those were real. This is the audit log of that gap. The numbers are from one working account, measured on 2026-08-18. Nothing here is hypothetical. The database held every asset collected from the platforms a working account actually uses — conversations, projects,

Taba est devenue une ligne SQL, et ça explique mieux la POO que n'importe quel cours

Une nouvelle où une ado se retrouve transportée dans une base de données sert de prétexte pour comprendre les objets, les propriétés, les méthodes et pourquoi on a inventé les ORM. Tout commence par une virgule oubliée. Dans Bêta Land : New Object, une nouvelle que j'ai écrite, Salimata écrit tranquillement une requête SQL pour insérer une amie, Taba, comme donnée d'exemple dans sa base : INSERT INTO Bêtalanders (id, nom, âge, rôle, relation, caractéristique, vie) VALUES (105, 'TabaDiop', 21,

My static Nuxt blog publishes itself: drafts, scheduled "drip", and auto-rebuilds

I run my freelance site as a fully static (SSG) Nuxt site. It's fast, cheap to host, and boring in the good way. But static sites are genuinely bad at one thing: publishing an article next Tuesday at 9am. There's no server rendering each request, so "schedule this post" doesn't exist — something has to rebuild the site at the right moment. I also write in bursts. Some evenings I'll draft two or three articles at once, and I don't want them all going live the same day. So I bolted a small publish
