Okay, sports fans, I've restored 4.3.9 on my private server. Yay!
The problem was that I had updated ruby. That caused local extensions to not be found. The solution was to do this:
gem pristine --all
and enjoy a cup of coffee. The errors stopped, everything was happy again, & I restarted the servers.
I'll pin this one on both servers for a while to spread the solution for "Source locally installed gems is ignoring [whatever] because it is missing extensions."

The next Rooftop Ruby podcast is going to be a good one. Since the last time we recorded I released a new gem and put up a website that's let me try out Kamal and other new Rails features for the first time. #Ruby
Picking back up learning Ruby. Cause why not. Anyway,
``` ruby
'cat'.to-i
```
Gives 0. So, if I need to convert strings to ints, I neeck to have a case for if something is 0 too. Or something.
One thing I want from #GitHub.
A good example for how to strengthen the #Ruby ecosystem by creating framework agnostic gems (and maybe slim adapter gems for the different frameworks like #Hanami or #Roda) rather than just a #Rails engine gem: Thanks a bunch, @achacon !! https://a-chacon.com/en/just%20ruby/on%20rails/2025/07/01/from-engine-to-framework-agnostic-solution.html

I got laid off today. Eek!

Is there a way to get deprecation warnings/notifications for projects from GitHub or rubygems.org? I just now discovered, after pushing some minor changes, that the async-io gem was deprecated in favor of io-endpoint 10 months ago; luckily it's just a name change so easy to fix. Need to improve my dependency monitoring.
I've published my first Ruby gem other people can use! It's called Rezy and it's a tool for generating a resume from YAML files. Give it a shot and contribute. It definitely needs more customizability and themes, but I'm really enjoying it so far. #ruby
Alright, so I've got my resume details specified in YAML, and I'm generating HTML and PDF files based on that using my own styling. I am a real nerd. It looks pretty good though.
I could turn this into a gem pretty easily if other people were interested. #Ruby
On top of my #iOS development skills, I've also become a very good #Ruby developer who can work on #RubyOnRails or other projects. Full-time or freelance.
I made this ultra-scuffed .gif editing script to help me make my videos for Being with Beau. When I record my screen as a gif, I explode it, pick just the frames I want, and then reassemble it. gifsicle beats magick -coalesce.

I made a little arithmetic calculator in Ruby that uses a lexer, parser, and interpreter, since this was the simplest thing I could think of which would use all of those. I can expand it later to take file input and do other more advanced things. #Ruby https://github.com/collindonnell/MiniCalc/
