Shaking my head my head while eating queso cheese, wearing a sombrero hat and drinking chai tea and while withdrawing money from an ATM machine.

Asahi Linux completely supports all the M1 Mini hardware.

But it does look the prices on these went back up because people use them for OpenClaw. 🙄

I run Asahi Fedora Linux on this hardware. It was a straightforward install and has been problem-free since.

It’s nice that some resources are being directed in this area, but it’s far from a total solution.

For example, the passport-saml Node module is popular and security related and is already fielding a number of AI-assisted security vulns.

Even when they are contributed by “security experts”, they still have to be carefully vetted to confirm they are correct and not themselves malicious.

While the patches may be good, it appears to be generating more unpaid volunteer labor for the maintainers.

Thankfully there some other fund’s trying to help out maintainers of critical open source projects.

The Code Rabbit link is about software in general, not the Linux kernel in particular. In many ways the Linux kernel is an outlier among software projects. When it comes to LLMs, I don’t expect devs will be using lower standards for code reviews in quality, while some other teams definitely are doing light “LGTM” reviews of AI code.

The second link expresses a lot of concerns about plagiarism by AI. Certainly related care needs to taken for contributions to the Linux kernel. As far as I could tell, no specific cases of plagiarized code in the kernel were cited.

M1 Mac Mini is quiet, fast, low power consumption and reasonably-priced used.

The log volume is dependent on which services are running and how they are tuned.

I can’t tell if it’s a photo or masochistic hyper realism artwork.

So much detail!

I have a UPS that allows the server to survive an apocalypse of 15 minutes or less.

 

This poorly designed table on the AWS website appears to show that neither tier of their new AI agent "Q" offers "Peace of Mind".

Maybe the table was designed by AI, too? "PRICE", "FEATURES" and "PEACE OF MIND" are supposed to be understood as section headers, but the design doesn't work because they didn't also put "price" on its own row and they pointlessly used alternate-row background colors. They could have used background cell colors to communicate which rows were section headers.

 

It boots into a special mode to walk you through completing the assembly. The screen updates to reflect your progress and prompt the next step. This requires no tools to complete. Impressive! See linked video.

 

You've got multiple monitors and watch to switch to a window several windows away.

You could switch focus there with a number of arrow key movements.

"sway-easymotion" allows you to use to press a key that prints a one or two character label on each window. Press that key and your focuses switch there.

Over the weekend I submitted patches for a couple of new features. First, I added multi-monitor support. Second, I added a visual confirmation of which window was selected.

If you are familiar with Github and Rust, you can review the patches and try them out here:

Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux

 
 
  1. App redirects to identity broker
  2. Identity Broker redirects to social login
  3. Browser prompts to open password manager to access social login password.
  4. Password manager prompts for master password and redirects back to social login
  5. Social login prompts for security key.
  6. Social login redirects back to identity broker.
  7. Identity broker redirects back to app.
  8. "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'length')"
 

Keyboards with custom firmware supports keycodes like XF86Copy and XF86Paste. These are great for having truly global copy/paste shortcuts that also work in apps like terminals where "Control-V" and "Control-C" aren't supported by default.

I advocated that these keycodes be supported in a web browser, Qutebrowser. The author of that project, Florian Bruhin liked the idea and submitted a patch upstream to the QT framework, which is used by many apps associated with the KDE Linux desktop. And about 5 years later, apps will be packaged with QT 6.10 that include the fix.

Here’s the change description.

This adds support for the Help, Open, Close, Save, New, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo, Back, Forward, Refresh, ZoomIn, ZoomOut, Find, Settings, Exit, and Cancel keys to the default keyboard shortcuts.
