Idea Raised For Nicer DRM Panic Screen Integration On Fedora Linux

A proposal within the Fedora Linux community suggests improving the kernel's DRM Panic screen to a more user-friendly, BSOD-style experience. Phoronix reports: Open-source developer Jose Exposito proposed today a nicer experience for DRM Panic integration on Fedora. Rather than using DRM Panic with just the kernel log contents being encoded in the QR code displayed when a kernel panic occurs, the proposal is to have a customized Fedora web-page with the encoded QR contents to be shown on that web page. Besides having a more pleasant UI/UX, from this web page the intent would also be to make it easier to report this error to the Fedora BugZilla. Being able to easily pass the kernel log to the Fedora bug tracker could help in making upstream aware of the problem(s) and seeing if other users are also encountering similar panics.

Right now this idea was just raised earlier today as a "request for comments" on the Fedora mailing list. While a prototype at this point, Exposito already developed a basic web interface for demoing the solution.

Wisdom the albatross comes home again

Wisdom the Laysan albatross arrived back at her nesting grounds on February 4th.

This marks at least the 70th time she has safely arrived home at Kuaihelani (Midway Atoll) (she was first banded in 1956 by wildlife biologist Chandler Robbins). Estimated to be at least 75 years old this year, she is the world's oldest known wild bird. In 2021, the Audubon Society published an in-depth feature on her life and times. She's still going strong: she lost a mate in 2020-2021, but she found a new mate in 2024 and her youngest baby (so far!) was hatched on Jan 30, 2025 (adorable images & video at that link!)

jQuery Reunion

Last summer, Richard Worth reached out to see if I’d be interested in attending a jQuery Reunion. I’ve only been to one other conference (Beyond Tellerand) in the last five years and a reunion seemed like the best opportunity to reconnect with people I hadn’t seen in a long time.

I was trepidatious going into it as I had no idea who would be in attendance. Did everybody I knew from way back when decide to say no? How many people were even going to be there?

Thankfully, my fears were unfounded and I had a blast. There was a group of folks that I remember from back in the day like Nathan, Karl, Kyle, Marc, Mike, and Paul, and I also got to meet some new people like fellow Canadians, Darcy and Ryan. Nathan brought his teenage son, who was very inquisitive and seemed to really enjoy talking tech with everybody.

We went to a vintage arcade the first night, played classic games and ate pizza. The next day, we did go-karting, sim racing, and enjoyed some BBQ for lunch. I sucked at go-karting but kicked ass at sim racing. Then we went back to the hotel for the “conference” part where folks did short talks on topics that interested them.

John Resig wasn’t able to attend in person but did call in to present on his passion of Japanese art.

Nathan and I remarked that we felt a little out of place with most of the people there having been or currently are heavily involved with jQuery including contributing core code or organizing conferences. I would’ve considered myself more a jQuery groupie, sitting on the edges of the community. Photos were shared of those early conferences, a couple of which I thought I had attended but not being able to find myself in those early photos had me doubting the accuracy of my memory. I’ve gone through my own photos and found a couple I had taken. Whew, I’m not going crazy.

The jQuery team officially launched jQuery 4.0 at the reunion, which was cool. It’s impressive to think that this library is still chugging along after 20 years and still powering so much of the web. PrototypeJS, Scriptaculous, and jQuery are probably the three libraries that really invigorated my joy of JavaScript and helped me learn about how powerful of a language it really was.

Our industry feels more grown up and I miss how fun it felt in those earlier days. I’m also delighted with how things have changed since then to make our reliance on these tools less necessary (or maybe just reliant on a different set of tools).
