There's a minigame?!

Could have just ask any user with a Steam account...

Why would I start to build another game library somewhere else? What happens with my existing 672 games?

My Steam account is 18 years old. Valve has been great all these years, so there's a lot of trust. What's your product track record?

You know who LLM companies are targeting when after every code generation they claim: "This is now a production-ready solution!"

Meanwhile, every developer: "This is WIP / under construction / not production ready / v0.1 / ..."

Thanks for the great talk! 🙂

With macos-13 images going away @github.com, what options exist to run Docker on macOS using GitHub Actions?

.NET Day Switzerland 2024 - DevLog This post was started in 2024, but as I attended the .NET Day Switzerland 2025 roughly weeks ago, I remembered, that I never actually finished and published it … until now. Table of Contents The…

I once wrote:

Remove GitHub’s “Ghost” Notifications - DevLog In September there seems to have been some spam on GitHub leaving behind Ghost Notifications, fortunately there’s a way to remove these via GitHub’s API

📝 New Blog Post:

Remove GitHub's "Ghost" Notifications

🔗 duerrenberger.dev/blog/2025/10...

To get rid of the ghost notification run the follow curl command:

curl -L -X PUT -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <CLASSIC TOKEN>" -H "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28" api.github.com/notifications -d '{"last_read_at":"2025-09-28T00:00:00Z","read":true}'

GitHub Actions: macOS 13 runner image is closing down - GitHub Changelog The macOS 13 runner image will be retired by December 4th, 2025. To raise awareness of the upcoming removal, jobs using macOS 13 will temporarily fail during the scheduled brownout…

I guess, I must have missed this announcement until I was just sent a reminder by @github.com, that the macOS 13 runners will be removed soon.

Support Tiers Documentation for the missing package manager for macOS (or Linux).

Turns out Homebrew has moved macOS 13 to Tier 3, which means updating packages may require building from source. Unsurprisingly building LLVM from source on a normal @github.com CI runner isn't exactly practical... ⏳

Time to move away from the last x64 macOS image (macos-13) then.

I somehow mixed the time-zones, so Encounter is now on sales on Itch before it is on Steam. Oops. 🙃

So anyway, if you were interested in the game, you can get it super cheap on defenceforce.itch.io/encounter

REST API endpoints for notifications - GitHub Docs Use the REST API to manage GitHub notifications.

If you also unread @github.com notifications that don't appear due to purging of spam/scam repos, you can mark the hidden notifications manually via API.

ℹ️ You'll need a classic access token for that.

If you happen to be canceling streaming services for whatever reason, maybe throw a few bucks to a creative's Patreon or Ko-fi. Many have monthly tiers starting as low as $1, which may not sound like much, but if they get enough sign-ups, it could be life-changing money for those living on the edge.

If you're a large organization and use Slack, put the cost of Slack into the perspective of employee salaries. How many people would you be able to hire for the same amount of money and have them fully dedicated on maintaining your own chat server? What about part-time work?

When you delete a folder in VS Code (V1.104.0) and then undo that action, the deleted files in said folder are not restored. 😬
