@aviv.sh and I are working on an End of Life (EOL) page for @nodejs.org. Better communicating the risks of staying on out of date software is work worth doing, and helps the entire ecosystem stay safer.

Just released a new post: Do I Need This Node Dependency?
Wherein I step by step highlight a bunch of new features released on the Node.js project, and wrap up with a longer narrative about open source pace layers.

Are there any folks in the @nodejs.org community interested in taking a slightly more active role in internationalization efforts?
We have a number of languages in need of proofreaders, and even language coordinators that can resolve questions/approve suggestions, etc.

bizarre reproducable @github.com bug in commit UI
1. go to github.com/nodejs/nodej...
2. Toggle between code and rendered view of the yml diffs
3. Each time you do this, the UI renders another instance of the actions listed in the workflow and prompts you to "Give feedback on dependency review"

Added the @bsky.app logo to the @approachableopensource.com top nav - might tweak the path further - had to mess around with a smaller viewbox due to the way the site loads its existing icons.
