Absolute scenes at Belfast RubyFest 2026. Julian Cheal, Christian Bruckmayer and Thijs Cadier put on a clinic for top-tier Ruby talks. Everyone had a blast. People are already talking about bigger things next year. Got home at 2am. Belfast Ruby is on the map. 🚀

Only about 10 slots left for Belfast RubyFest. RSVP today! luma.com/yl6v0cy9
@evanphx.dev do you still have a copy of the old RubyForge DB?
From a Ruby History perspective I would find it interesting to host a readonly/archived version of the site. Preserving discussions, forums, etc.
We have folks from five different countries coming already for this event.
Sign up today, come over and have a blast! I’m organizing! You won’t regret it.

you know I've never actually been to Cork. I might put that on my 2026 todo list
It's amazing that they'll actually allow this LOL

For Noah.
* v0.5
* Scarpe now has a site - complete with Shoes documentation and our robust Scarpe architecture documentation scarpe-team.github.io/scarpe/
* Improvements, features and bugfixes: github.com/scarpe-team/...
Noah Gibbs was the largest engineering force behind Scarpe the last few years of his life. In honor of his memory I will be doing some hacking on it Christmas Eve.
If you’d like to hack on it as well (LLM it up if you’re new!) I can refine some nice user-friendly issues.

@marcoroth.dev you got a mention during @petr.codes intro! I said he was our second international speaker and he asked who was the first ♥️ 🫡
It’s a great group of people and great fun! Can’t wait to get you over here sometime! ♥️
Another successful BelfastRuby in the books! Thank you @altabyte.bsky.social, @petr.codes for your wonderful talks! And a huge shoutout to Stora for hosting and sponsoring!! 🙌

I’ve started using Notion yesterday.
Notion users what tips and advice do you have?
That's a great idea. Where are y'all meeting at these days?
Calling my shot for 2026
I'm working on something big
Cool
Interesting
And I'm gonna want to talk about it
apparently colour palette steganography is widely written about, so this may not be a fluke. will keep researching
i think there may be a cipher in the gif colour palette. `File.binread(file)` i found a length of printable characters in a reversed alphabet, something i haven't been able to find in other gifs
