I finally finished all of Expedition 33 (all of it) and I’m sure sad it’s over. It’s been a while since a game burrowed itself so deeply in my mind. I wonder how long till the music stops being stuck in my head.

@james I have a puzzle for you. I had put a link in my bio (to rubyfriends.app/profiles/YBYT specifically) and the kind admin for that site reached out to me to say that he sees HEAD requests from different ips to that URL every 5 seconds forever. If I update the URL it changes in the logs there, so I confirmed it's connected. Thoughts?

I've been trying to renew my passport online, which has been a mess so far. There's a button to report a problem, so I fill out all the details and submit the report, and that error report fails to send and errors out.

We gotta stop giving government technology contracts to the lowest bidder. #canada

Bundler 2.7.0 is the last release before Bundler 4.0.0 (yeah, I wish they adhered to semantic versioning too but alas): https://bundler.io/blog/2025/07/17/bundler-v2-7.html

It's worth reading the upgrade notes as you can experiment with 4.0.0 now using `BUNDLE_SIMULATE_VERSION=4`. I'll be doing the same shortly. Details: https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/blob/ff473128011e7abe1eeb0414d9cd48677acb5487/doc/bundler/UPGRADING.md
