I'm sure some of you will be delighted to know that ImageSharp v3.2.0 no longer triggers security advisories. It's been a long few weeks! #dotnet nuget.org/packages/SixLabors…

In terms of the balance of performance and convenience it's one of the best (if not the best).
When in doubt, just use C# and ASP.NET Core. It's blazing fast. .NET 11 RC2 is even faster. For me, it's the best overall major web framework - auth, config, logging, perf, modular middleware, DI, cross-plat, etc. But I didn't expect this:

RC2 didn't fix it, so logged: github.com/dotnet/runtime/is… - this is a hard "oof" for SE.Redis, otherwise (as in: performance collapses)
I thought I'd re-run my SE.Redis "async runtime" (.NET 11) checks; instead, found a catastrophic perf collapse in RC1, that I *think* (testing now against "daily") is already fixed for RC2 (github.com/dotnet/runtime/pu…). Fun!

Hey @davepl1968 do you know who wrote the checks on msoffice upgrade-only CDs? It would work as a full installer - when it asks for the existing install location, you would point it at the cd itself; it validated the signed binaries and would install anywhere you want :D

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”. The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

For those new followers who have been so gratious.... who am I? I was the first employee of #DMADesign, and I created the #Lemmings animation that spawned the game. I then created the prototypes that spawned #GTA, and wrote the graphics engine for it. lemmings.info/

It’s an interesting challenge for @BrighterCommand. We have supported Polly since Dylan first created it (long before MS adopted it) but now that support pushes our community into paying an OSMF to a 3rd party.

Aspire 13.5 features, day 5 Aspire now supports interactive terminal sessions! 🖥️ The WithTerminal() extension method in the AppHost attaches an interactive pseudo-terminal (PTY) to any Aspire resource, letting you interact with it directly from the dashboard 🤯

Microsoft Azure seemed to have rolled out some duff serialization code for device twins to their IoT Hubs. Etag is being serialized as DeviceEtag, and Etag contains corrupted values. Device Twin updates are broken. /cc @Azure @AzureSupport #azure #iothub

Smells like someone forgot the JsonProperty("etag") serialization hint on Device.DeviceEtag ....

had a crazy idea on Friday: port Quake to Roblox. After a /goal, $3000 of Fable tokens and four sleepless nights, meet Robloquake, a function-by-function port of Quake, Quakeworld and mods to luau. Open source and playable in Roblox today
