Yesterday, #GitHub burned through their quarterly 99.9% SLA budget with a single Actions outage of 2h21min.

To me the most exciting improvement coming with #Flux 2.3 next month is support for OCIRepository sources from HelmReleases (https://github.com/fluxcd/helm-controller/issues/789). But we're also shipping a bunch of other awesome improvements. See this issue for all the details: https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/issues/4712

Woohoo, support for text fragments has started to land in #Firefox Nightly. This is a wonderful feature as it lets you create URLs pointing to any content within a page, independent of anchor tags.

I've been experimenting with using an AI programming companion with the Open Source Code #Llama model and it's been a very mixed experience so far. One example: It keeps telling me to use the '+' operator for merging dicts in #Python while this is clearly not supported. On the other hand it DID give me alternative methods that actually worked. It also failed to tell me about the '|' operator introduced in Python 3.9. Will keep going even though my expectations aren't too high to be honest.

About time! As much as I love #Grafana, it's Alerting UI was a bit terrible and I'm glad Grafana is fixing that with 10.4.
