It was a normal, almost boring work week. For open source, I released a new version of django-cast, now compatible with Wagtail 6.1. The fix turned out to be surprisingly simple: just define window.chooserUrls = {} before using it like this window.chooserUrls.audioChooser = '/cms/audio/audio/chooser/';.Perhaps some Wagtail JavaScript defined window.chooserUrls previously, and version 6.1 no longer does this? Additionally, I added cover images for blogs. For episodes the podcasts iTunes artwork is used as a fallback when a cover image is missing. But what about normal blog posts? And even for podcast episodes, the iTunes artwork might not be appropriate in every situation. Adding a cover image to the blog makes the behavior consistent. I also fixed a bug, where the Podlove player stopped working after HTMX navigation. Finally, I discovered the cause of the mysterious "DataError: PostgreSQL text fields cannot contain NUL (0x00) bytes" errors in the logs. It seems that Wagtail APIViewSets don't validate user input properly.
And then we caught a stomach bug that ruined our weekend.

- The empty brain - Your brain does not process information, retrieve knowledge or store memories. In short: your brain is not a computer | I find the article confusing. How exactly does human cognition transcend computation? Are we talking about computers from the 1960s, today’s computers, or all possible future computers? The article seems to target the last one, but that makes ‘computer’ an overly broad term, which might indeed render it useless as a metaphor. Paradoxically, the article also argues it’s too narrow. This seems contradictory.
