Why now? Well, this week I attended my first <a rel="external" href="https://blr.indiewebclub.org/">Indie WebClub Bangalore</a>. Writing this while sitting in <a rel="external" href="https://underline.center/">Underline Center</a>.</p>
<h1 id="work">Work</h1>
<p>Did some Rust update CI work for GStreamer repositories as Rust 1.99.1 got released.</p>
<p>Realised that I had broken the Rust plugins repository with my work on migrating to <a rel="external" href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/-/merge_requests/3192">aws-lc-rs</a>. Somehow missed that this also required an update to <a rel="external" href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/-/merge_requests/3301">AWS BehaviorVersion</a>.</p>
<p>I couldn't attend the <a rel="external" href="https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/conference/2026/">GStreamer Conference</a> and hackfest this year in Prague. For the hackfest, I decided to continue working on <a rel="external" href="https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-rs/-/merge_requests/1906">Media over QUIC</a>. Had started working on it in 2024 when I was still @ <a rel="external" href="https://asymptotic.io/">asymptotic</a>. It has undergone quite a lot of change since I first started working on it. There is also a MoQ publisher now in addition to the subscriber, and for the last few months I have been working on moving from CMAF to Low Overhead Container, along with an assortment of protocol- and timestamp-related improvements.</p>
<h1 id="travel">Travel</h1>
<p>I was in Hyderabad for 3 days last week. Met an ex-colleague and a friend from college days. As a foodie, a trip to Hyderabad would be incomplete without the food. For a meat lover, Hyderabad can be a paradise. Had some amazing kebabs and biryani at <a rel="external" href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/4eZkDGSPgCjB1yRQ7">The Nawaab's</a>. The food here alone made the trip to Hyderabad worth it. I know the old town places are more highly regarded and talked about, but not my cup of tea.</p>
<h1 id="shopping-dilemma">Shopping Dilemma</h1>
<p>There is a sale going on at <a rel="external" href="https://www.headphonezone.in/">Headphone Zone</a>, and I am torn between getting a S12 Ultra (do not have any planar IEMs) or buying a Truthear Hexa again because it's that good and there are very few neutral IEMs around.</p>
<h1 id="weekend">Weekend</h1>
<p>It was fun being here for Indie WebClub. Spoke to <a rel="external" href="https://fknil.com/">Fenil</a>, <a rel="external" href="https://yashgarg.dev/">Yash</a>, <a rel="external" href="https://msfjarvis.dev/">Harsh</a>, <a rel="external" href="https://abhinavsarkar.net/">Abhinav</a> and <a rel="external" href="https://tanvibhakta.in/">Tanvi</a> for a bit at the meetup.</p>
<p>Of course, I am in Indiranagar, and I always have some vested interests while travelling. Of course, it's about food again. A new coffee shop called <a rel="external" href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/mGRQmd7a53on5X4W7">Kura</a> recently opened up and I am planning to visit it after this :). While I am not someone who enjoys sweets in general, I am craving some Vanilla Cheesecake and Tres Leches from <a rel="external" href="https://maps.app.goo.gl/mGRQmd7a53on5X4W7">Magnolia Bakery</a>.</p>
