Whether you celebrate it or not, we have an early #Christmas gift for you... the #QUIC library I've been working on is now open source! Learn more about it and how I've been using it as a playground for #RoQ and #MoQ!

Happy holidays! 🎄

These past few months I've shared a lot of info on my experiments with QUIC as a new transport for real-time media. I detailed my efforts on writing a basic QUIC stack, followed by deeper dives in RTP...

Is it #BandcampFriday? Yes it is! And it is #FairtradeMusicFriday too! So why not go and buy one of my albums so that I can pay for some medicines for my flu? *cough* *cough*

(too shameless? 😁)

I'm getting older but, unlike whisky, I'm not getting any better. So, besides developing open source software for a living, I've decided to go back to an old passion of mine: writing and recording music.

If you weren't at #FOSDEM and missed our #MusicProduction devroom, here's a "short" summary of what happened! (short is in quotes because, well, come on, we all know I can't write anything that isn't a few bibles long 😁)

I suspected I had not really survived #FOSDEM unscathed, and in fact there it is... Stuck in bed with the flu! At least this time it happened *after* FOSDEM and not before 😁

Just did my presentation on #imquic, a WIP QUIC library for real-time media( #roq and #moq), in #openmedia. Seemed well received, so I'm happy! Slides (and soon a video recording, in case you missed it) at the link below

It seems the crypto community has found a new way to extract money from people. They are creating tokens for popular open source projects and inviting maintainers to get in on the scheme.

Here is the email I got earlier today.
Hey Kelsey, I'm a big fan of your work, especially on kubernetes-the-hard-way. I wanted to raise some funds for you through the use of a crypto coin using a platform called BagsApp (@BagsApp on X). We decided to base it off of NoCode as it is one of the funniest repositories we have seen in Github. The community really likes this combination of rewarding a strong builder and the funny aspect NOCODE brings. BagsApp is becoming increasingly popular as a method of open source funding for talented developers such as yourself, with many success stories coming from developers who have taken advantage of this innovative platform. BagsApp has documentation explaining the entire model, which you can read here: https://bags.fm/blueprint Another developer Steve Yegge; creator of Gas Town has seen great success with this and has written a medium article which may also bring you more clarity. You can read that here: https://x.com/Steve_Yegge/status/2011632032284369305?s=20 We have currently raised $3,000 and this is steadily increasing. You can check the funds raised for you and claim here: https://bags.fm/79VXvEt7xSPhvQggeJ75UVqD41yXJwBS44zrstreBAGS I understand this may come across as shady so, if you have any more questions I am more than happy to hop on a call with you and explain where this all comes from. Thanks!

I looked up the real answer, but it’s boring, so I’m just going to stay irritated at the concept of putting crackers in a barrel. Why would anyone do that? Crackers are square. Barrels are round. The geometry is unpleasant to imagine. Also fuck ICE.

My humble attempt to play "Waiting for 22" by Queensrÿche, from that masterpiece called "Operation Mindcrime". You don't want to know how many takes I had to record to get it (mostly) right 😁

I recently spent some time tinkering with #rtcStats to see if/how easy it would be to use with the #Janus demos, or to monitor/analyze Janus #webrtc sessions in general. If you're curious about how that went, read the post and let me know what you think about it!

Roberto is a long time friend, a great musician and a huge connoisseur of progressive rock, so I was really honoured when he asked me to contribute riffs/solos to a song he was working on. I really like the result, and I hope you'll enjoy it too!

Lighthouse of the Week: Ep. 15

The Grim Fandango lighthouse stands stoic in Rubacava, almost masoleum-like in its construction. As you look at it, a light breeze stirs a cluster of blue flower petals around you, and you feel your chest tighten at a deep grief that still lingers here.

After having a RealTime Communications devroom for 10 years at #FOSDEM, we'll sit 2026 out, as our application has been rejected. A bit of history: in 2013 FOSDEM had both a Jabber and a Telephony devroom. Then there were 2 years of no RTC things devroom.

#FOSDEM announced the devrooms for #fosdem2026 and I have some good news and some bad news.

The good news is that my submission for a #MusicProduction devroom got accepted, yay! Finally #music will have a well deserved place at FOSDEM! It'll be on Sunday afternoon, expect a CfP soon 🙏

What's worse than all those websites with their own lame "best 100 games ever" kind of lists? Me coming up with my own lame list to show how lame theirs is, of course!

So, how lame do you think mine is? 😁
And how much do you hate me for ignoring your favourite game(TM)?
