The security situation with the Arch Linux AUR got a lot worse #Linux #ArchLinux #Security

Linux kernel 7.1 is out with rewritten NTFS support, Btrfs and exFAT updates, broad driver work, and cleanup of obsolete kernel code. linuxiac.com/linux-kernel... #Linux #Kernel #OpenSource

This transition will affect roughly 2.5 million civil servants as part of a 2026 strategy to achieve "digital sovereignty." France already has a successful precedent; the national police force has operated 100,000 computers on Linux since 2008, proving that such a massive shift is feasible.

I’m building a Windows tool and keep asking myself: Is one-click Onion sharing still privacy tech — or already too risky? Useful for privacy, journalism, testing and censorship resistance? Or mostly attractive to people who want to abuse it? Honestly unsure.

Have you heard of CSS Subgrid? 🤔 A grid item can now pass its parent's grid lines to children, so nested elements align perfectly with the outer layout. No more hacky workarounds for aligned nested grids. Learn more 👇 developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/...

One thing I’ve learned building dev tools: It’s rarely the hard tech that kills your product. It’s UX friction. The extra clicks. The unclear flows. The small annoyances. People don’t complain — they just stop using it. What’s the worst dev tool UX you’ve used recently?

Why don’t dishwashers have glass front panels so you can see in while it washes.

Most dev tools don’t die — they get bloated. v1: fast, simple, predictable v2+: more features, more UI, more abstraction eventually: slow, complex, hard to reason about Feels like success kills simplicity. Why does this always happen? And is it even avoidable?

I got tired of uploading images every time I needed WebP or AVIF. Upload → wait → download → repeat. It completely breaks your workflow. So I built a local solution instead: drop a folder → convert everything → done dev.to/ghostlyinc/i...

Most developers don’t have a coding problem. They have a finishing problem.

I built a small tool for fast image conversion on Windows. Pixel Press converts images to modern formats like WebP and AVIF in seconds using simple drag & drop. Perfect for developers and faster websites. Download: ghostlyinc.com/en-us/tools/...

I got creative with words and lasers today 😊

.NET dev question: I develop a Blazor Server app on Windows but deploy to Linux (mostly for cost reasons). Sometimes everything works locally but breaks on Linux (case-sensitive paths, filesystem differences). Do others use this workflow? What issues did you run into? #dotnet #blazor #linux

If you think I am going to write this section about beetles and not spend 1/3 of it talking about lightning bugs you don't know me at all. (but seriously how am I supposed to spend only one spread talking about beetles? That's too many unique dazzling little creatures for one page)
