Thanks for that, makes sense. I like that Amber gives the ability to code more defensively/robustly where appropriate but can also get out the way if you just need to run a bunch of BASH raw.

Interesting. There is this example in the docs:

let result = $ cat file.txt | grep "READY" $ failed {
    echo "Failed to read the file"
}

https://docs.amber-lang.com/basic_syntax/commands

How can we know for sure what failed here? Was it the cat or the grep? My instinct says the pipe returns the code of the last cmd or failure, which could be either.

Perhaps it’s just a contrived example and it would be better to separate testing file existence from grepping in real code…

copyq has some guidance for wayland issues:

https://github.com/hluk/CopyQ/issues/3313#issuecomment-3538526927

…but some things such as global shortcuts may depend on your choice of compositor, GNOME has no support at all for example.

It seems some people transition easily to wayland and some do not, it really depends on your setup unfortunately. Maybe it’ll get easier over time.

This is new:

Self-hostable Docker Compose stack update manager.

And

when you choose to update, PatchPanda edits compose/.env files and runs docker compose pull and docker compose up -d for the target stack. You can also view live log.

I have not tried it myself tho.

The link seems to say Threads support is only available as an add-on and therefore not simple to use with containerised HASS. This would be true for any Threads antenna though.

How frustrating about the hangs, looks like this has been a problem for years in various desktops and file managers and you’ve already found the best mitigation (keeping the mounts out of home)

I think some of the answer is expressed in the article:

To service and retain this loyal userbase then, you might imagine that Mozilla would address their needs and concerns with what made Phoenix a great first version back in 2002. A lightweight and versatile standards-compliant and open-source web browser with acceptable privacy standards, and without any other non-browser features attached to it. Just a browser, only a browser, and above all, a fast browser.

Instead, Mozilla appear to be following a course calculated to alarm rather than retain these users. Making themselves an AI-focused organisation, neglecting their once-unbeatable developer network, and trying to sneak data gathering into their products.

This looks useful, thanks

When xdg-ninja encounters a file or directory it knows about, it will tell you whether it’s possible to move it to the appropriate location, and how to do it.

The configurations are from the arch wiki page on XDG_BASE_DIR, antidot (thanks to Scr0nch for writing a conversion tool), and crowdsourced by other users.

Maybe look into autofs which will mount only when you choose to access the drives and then unmount on idle. Could be simpler then trying to react to network status.

Never seen ffprofile before that’s useful. Wonder how up to date it is with all the new ml options.

And while he highlighted some signs of unions reaching more people on platforms like TikTok, the union chief noted a stark fact: “Collectively, the trade union movement has fewer followers on X and Instagram than Nigel Farage on his own.”

“We directly represent five and a half million people, so we’ve got to get much better at using those social media platforms and talking directly to members and potential members,” the TUC head added.

Get on the Fedi!

That’s good. There are also editors that can run it for you and highlight the issues whilst you type, neovim being one.

$() for me, to quote from

https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC2006

Backtick command substitution `...` is legacy syntax with several issues.

1. It has a series of undefined behaviors related to quoting in POSIX.
2. It imposes a custom escaping mode with surprising results.
3. It’s exceptionally hard to nest.

$(...) command substitution has none of these problems, and is therefore strongly encouraged.

Cyclists have hailed a new multi-million pound cycle route as a “gamechanger” as construction nears completion.

The Gloucestershire Cycle Spine, a segregated cycle lane linking Gloucester, Cheltenham and Bishop’s Cleeve, has caused months of disruption but is now due to be finished in March 2026.

A cycling campaign group has hailed the ambitious scheme, which in future could end stretching 26 miles (42km) and all the way to Stroud.

Gloucestershire County Council said the scheme was already causing a boost to the number of people cycling.

The £48m scheme has been criticised after roadworks caused disruption in both Gloucester and Cheltenham.

That’s a great suggestion! Tho I will swap emacs for neovim which is available on termux too

Same I like meld but yes looking for android

Proton has already begun to cut some ties with Switzerland over "legal uncertainty." Lumo is the first product to change home, with Germany currently hosting its servers.

The company has also confirmed it’s developing facilities in Norway, while investing over €100 million to build a “sovereign European stack” for its services, ensuring it “can’t be held hostage by Switzerland” if the laws change for the worse.

Switzerland’s loss is Germany and Norway’s gain

Done this for my partner - usb goes in to boot to Linux, take it out to boot back to pre-existing Windows, really simple. Fedora will install to usb no problem. Windows can’t screw up this way either, bit safer then using same drive. Speed has not been a problem.
