[Meat, BBQ] Work in progress 😎 🐷

Some very neat work by the #ubuntu Foundations team this week, who managed to get #flutter working properly on #riscv, meaning that the Ubuntu Security Center, Firmware Updater and Installer can all now be built natively (or cross-compiled!) for RISC-V […]

Surprisingly excited to learn that Firefox v147+ will respect the XDG base directory specification! It's the little things in life... 😅 https://hg-edge.mozilla.org/integration/autoland/rev/8a6d6c094cb5

Do I know anyone who works on the Google Chrome team who can talk about packaging, or know anyone who knows anyone? 🙂

#debcrafters Digest Vol 3 – An Unexpected Attempted Migration in Devel Release The latest edition of our weekly #ubuntu Engineering updates, which covers an unfortunate mishap in archive operations recently, and how the team dealt with it! […]

Benti Nenka from Man Vs Machine roastery. This is absolutely delightful and a very thoughtful gift from @tobhe! So fruity, absolutely spot on my flavour profile! 🍒

@juliank that Black Hat geisha is 🔥 🔥 🔥 Thank you!!

And this morning I’m brewing a 1440hrs fermented coffee from Wilton Benitez, and it’s pretty wild 🔥😍 https://taithcoffee.com/shop/p/wilton-benitez-typica-1440-hr-advanced-process-1440-hr-bioreactor-typica-colombia

Went to see Bastille in Birmingham last night and they were sensational as usual. Wasn’t expecting No Scrubs from TLC on the set list, but it was incredible to see live! 😎

Finally got around to applying new thermal paste and a new fan to my Intel Skull Canyon NUC and now I feel stupid for waiting so long as it sits there working completely silently after months of me quietly cursing the noise it makes 😅

We've attracted lots of attention in the past months by shifting #ubuntu to adopt more modern tools (sudo-rs, uutils), which I firmly believe is the right move for the long term. That said, the reality is that many organisations struggle with migrations and find themselves in compliance traps […]

A nice update from the #ubuntu Server team outlining their discoveries on the path to enabling DNSSEC by default on Ubuntu https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-server-gazette-issue-9-testing-the-waters-with-dnssec/72073

@tonyandrewmeyer just tried that NZ coffee - came out an absolute treat! Thank you! 🤩

Two weeks in Göteburg 🇸🇪 with my colleagues was certainly busy, and a little exhausting when one is used to sitting alone in a home office, but also such a reminder of the opportunity we have at Canonical- both with our own products and the partnerships we’re forming. Looking forward to the […]

Snap out of it: Canonical on Flatpak friction, Core Desktop, and the future of Ubuntu https://www.theregister.com/2025/11/03/canonical_jon_seager_qa/ Jon Seager, VP of Engineering, talks exclusively to The Reg <- by me on @theregister

I really enjoyed the #ubuntu Summit, so I've written up some personal highlights as a blog post! Check it out for details on inference snaps, DOOM in space, Nvidia CUDA profiling and more! 🚀 https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-summit-25-10-personal-highlights/71509 #UbuntuSummit #Ubuntu #blog

Gourmet Swedish delicacies 😂

I’ve already tooted once about this, but Gringo’s roastery in Gothenburg was such a vibe today! Amazing coffee, amazing pizza and a DJ playing vinyls with a super friendly crowd 😎

Pizza and coffee cupping at Gringo coffee roasters in Gothenburg! 🍕 ☕️

Linux vendors are getting into Ubuntu – and Snap https://www.theregister.com/2025/10/31/linux_vendors_getting_into_snap/ Ubuntu's much-maligned format may be finally reaching critical mass <- by me on @theregister

Big news today as we announce Architecture Variant support for #ubuntu! This change means as of today, users of 25.10 can get access to packages built specifically for amd64v3, with more packages and variants coming soon. This sets the scene for some excellent performance improvements in […]

The travel coffee game is strong for this work trip. Two weeks is too long without a decent coffee 😅

Heading off to Gothenburg 🇸🇪 today for the #canonical Roadmap and Engineering sprints. Looking forward to seeing all my colleagues again, and hopefully some quality coffee tourism too 😇

Definitely my favourite slide from the #UbuntuSummit 🤣

Now the legendary Scott Jenson on the (sad) state of the desktop UX #UbuntuSummit2510 #UbuntuSummit

Introducing silicon-optimized inference snaps! Hot off the press, we've been working on a way to delivery highly optimised AI models to #ubuntu users, tailored to the silicon they're running on. This is on an opt-in basis, but if you're interested in AI, this is a super simple way to get […]

Enjoying a last few moments in the sun in southern Spain before flying back to London for the Ubuntu Summit! 😎✈️ #UbuntuSummit #ubuntu

Wasn’t expecting be able to source high quality co-fermented coffee in Torrevieja! 🇪🇸 https://kimacoffee.com/es-gb/products/red-fruits-cafe-de-colombia-tostado-por-kima-coffee-en-malaga

Latest update from the #debcrafters team who look after the #ubuntu archive! Seb goes into detail about "Archive Test Builds" - what they are, why we do them and how we're looking to improve them in the coming months. https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-test-rebuilds/69789

Picasso was alive at the same time as Charles Darwin, and Eminem. Mind. Blown.

At the #ubuntu 25.10 release sprint last week, the team and I decided to retire the "ISO Tracker" from our release process - an aging tool that was proving hard to migrate. This was a difficult decision, but is all part of us questioning our release process, and trying to decide which parts […]

#LinuxUnplugged Episode 636: Engineering The Future I was fortunate enough to join @ChrisLAS and company the other night to talk about #ubuntu 25.10 and our new release process! https://linuxunplugged.com/636

Special Guests Coffee UN040. This is a bit indulgent, but wow what a treat! ☕️

Delighted to be joining @linuxunplugged this evening to talk about #ubuntu 25.10! 😎

Just updated my desktop machine to #ubuntu 25.10. Worked perfectly, as I'd expect 😎

For anyone who prefers it over on Bluesky, I’ve created a bridged account linked to my domain: https://bsky.app/profile/jnsgr.uk

Oh and it came out perfectly. Ground a little coarser than usual since Ethiopian coffees tend to produce more fines. Ran a little longer than I’d like but the berries/floral notes really came out either way!

Brewing “Shoondhisa by Ture Waji” today - an Ethiopian Landrace coffee roasted by Ilse.

I mean, I'm not neutral anymore but... I genuinely think the agenda for the Ubuntu Summit 25.10 is *amazing* discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-sum... #Ubuntu #UbuntuSummit #UbuntuSummit2510

Only just came across @fed.brid.gy, and despite being a little complicated to get my head around, I love how simple the service is!

(Testing if I got bridging working correctly - as you were!)

Focaccia from Bread Ahead and a good old honest filter brew from Monmouth Coffee. Excellent.
