I pushed an update to #DOStodon (the #Mastodon client for MS-DOS):

- Updated #curl to 8.13.0
- Updated #mbedTLS to 3.6.3
- Fixed #win32 version (works on #WinXP or newer), DLLs were missing

Grab it at https://github.com/SuperIlu/DOStodon

Screenshot is showing the win32 version running on Win10.

More of the same. #vectorMath in #P5JS. Made a random walker that uses a velocity random vector. And I am pretty happy about that, took some searching on the web, but finally got the right result.

There are a number of useful little functions in node:util besides util.inspect() that I’m only just familiarising myself with after admittedly rolling my own versions for a number of them. Hmm, should’ve read through this documentation page more carefully sooner.

e.g., util.deprecate(), util.diff(), util.debugLog(), util.isDeepStrictEqual(), etc.

New Kitten release

• Fixes #236¹: The data preview pages in Kitten’s settings how handle circular references in the deserialised data (which may contain your custom classes if that’s what you were persisting in the database).

https://kitten.small-web.org

PS. Those pages are very rudimentary at the moment and are good for getting quick visual overview of the data you’re persisting. For a fully interactive view, use Kitten’s interactive shell (REPL)² to explore your data until I’ve had a chance to implement a more comprehensive visual interface.

PPS. You persist data in Kitten using the built-in JavaScript Database (JSDB)³ (Or, of course, you can install and use any other database.)

Still hard to sleep pat night, but I did enter the exiting world of #vectorMath in the #NatureOfCode book. Still interesting, but my brain isn't up to full speed yet, hopefully it will come soon.

Have you tried out Date and Time Management with the new Temporal API? It's already available in @firefoxnightly

Heres the result of all that Asinc bs Ive been dealing with for awhile. Lovely to finally see this model animating. Its swaying booty is just a nice bonus. There are some bugs & lil hacks to get it working. I'll do a full refactor after I get boneSprings workin again

Threat actors misuse Node.js to deliver malware and other malicious payloads

Since October 2024, threat actors have been leveraging Node.js to deliver malware and payloads for information theft and data exfiltration. A recent malvertising campaign uses cryptocurrency trading themes to lure users into downloading malicious installers. The attack chain includes initial access, persistence, defense evasion, data collection, and payload delivery. The malware gathers system information, sets up scheduled tasks, and uses PowerShell for various malicious activities. Another emerging technique involves inline JavaScript execution through Node.js. Recommendations include educating users, monitoring Node.js execution, enforcing PowerShell logging, and implementing endpoint protection.

#ReleaseWednesday — I just released a new version (v8.0.0) of https://thi.ng/vectors, an almost complete rewrite of the package with all of its ~900 vector operations. I've updated the Readme with a section of _potentially_ minor breaking changes, however I expect this to be a seamless upgrade for the vast majority of users...

I've recently written more about the reasons and implications of this update and I'll refer you to those posts instead of repeating them once more (see links below).

Just the top-level changes:

- Replaced dynamic code generation with higher-order templating to be usable with strict content security policies (when deployed online)
- New structure allows for vast majority of functions to have doc strings (and they do now)
- More consistent/less confusing naming for some operations
- Potentially improved tree-shaking and smaller project bundle sizes

Related to this update I've also refactored and fixed some bugs in other packages (e.g. color, geom, matrices). As a result both the color & matrix packages are now also free from dynamic codegen and therefore won't cause any problems with strict CSPs

Should you run into any issues regarding this update, please get in touch (also grateful for any other experience/impact reports... )

Happy coding!

Just added some new diagrams to describe the internals of the https://thi.ng/block-fs block storage & filesystem (incl. some examples) and also added/updated CLI tooling docs...

Not much sleep to night and a bad day, but took an hour to re-read about #vectorMath in #P5JS, and made example 1-2 in the #NatureOfCOde book. Hopefully more up to make something serious

More #JavaScript, #P5JS and #NatureOfCode. I got started on the chapter about vectors and vector math. As I can remember from the #Processing version it is hard, but quite fun.

New Kitten release

• Fix: messages that are promises are properly awaited before being sent.

https://kitten.small-web.org

Kitten automatically and transparently handles asynchronous content in your templates for you so you don’t have to worry about it. One place where this wasn’t working properly is if you addressed `this.component` to stream a custom update of your component manually instead of calling the `this.update()` method of Kitten component instances.

e.g.,

```js
export default class AdminPage extends kitten.Page {
// …
onSelectedPost (data) {
this.send(kitten.html`<${this.component} postId='${data.selectedPost.postId}' />`)
}
}
```
