PSA for distributions that use an older phoc with current phosh:

Starting from Phosh 0.56.0 (planned release date 2026-07-05) components like stevia (and likely phosh) will depend on phoc >= 0.55 (and thus #wlroots 0.20).

While it was always recommended to have the versions of the components of the stack in sync, some distros use phoc as old as 0.44.0 / wlroots 0.17 (from 2024). This already causes various issues for users but the session would at least start.

This won't be the case for 0.56.0 and later versions, unless you revert the changes. For 0.56 this will be rather small changes but it will become more involved over time so please update the compositor.

You can completely ignore this message if phosh, phoc and stevia are the same version.

> While IBM was a chief proponent of the ASCII standardization committee, the company did not have time to prepare ASCII peripherals (such as card punch machines) to ship with its System/360 computers, so the company settled on EBCDIC

take a shot every time IBM invents weird standards

this is OpenBSD 7.9 installed to an USB stick on RK3588-powered MNT Pocket Reform. the display was set up by the @barebox bootloader for which i commissioned @ailurux to port the RK3588 DSI etc display drivers. the framebuffer is passed to OpenBSD via EFI GOP, the rest it can do itself. there's no GPU acceleration, but the CPUs are strong enough for oldschool 2D desktops and it's quite snappy to use.

making sure my codebase is properly agentic

Embedded Recipes 2026 has officially kicked off!
It's fantastic to see so many talented engineers and developers gathered in one place to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and push the boundaries of embedded systems. Looking forward to two days of insightful talks and meaningful connections.

Making good progress in polishing my musi mi game launcher for mobile devices. Thanks to FEX-Emu, I'm now also able to play Hollow Knight on my #FP5 😊.

BACK IN MY DAY, AI STOOD FOR ADOBE ILLUSTRSTOR, AND WE HATED THAT TOO

to be absolutely clear: alpine is *not* switching to systemd or implementing a 'systemd compatibility layer'.

Happy to announce the 0.18 release of Poezio, a terminal XMPP messaging client.

This new release brings better compatibility with python 3.15, Message Retraction support, a new way of showing or hiding groupchat presences, and a lot of typing!

A more detailed changelog is available on my blog:

What wallpaper shall we use in the upcoming v26.06 release?

Thanks to dikasp, MultisampledNight and foobtech for creating these amazing AI-free wallpapers!

Little project I've been working on for the past two days. A reverse engineered implementation of the Android Auto server, running on my OnePlus 6 with PostmarketOS. The implementation is incredibly basic, only has basic video, but it's enough to display Sway and firefox :D

Next major step is getting it to work on a "proper" headunit. It works with my generic Chinese portable Android Auto / CarPlay screen but on a proper Toyota headunit inside a 2019 Toyota Aygo it fails somewhere along the way on the authentication chain.

How do you securely chat in 2026? easy, you just wall each other on sakamoto, the most secure privacy-oriented and e2e encrypted chat platform available

 ellyqw │ no doxxing ourselves on alpine irc though
@panekj │ we should use a secure communication
@panekj │ wall me on sakamoto
 ellyqw │ good idea

excited to announce i'll be giving a talk at this year's @piwo about making ARM SoCs work in Linux! (that's *this saturday*, 30th May, at 4:05pm)

slides will be in english, but the talk will be in polish. i'll publish the slides after the talk if anyone else wants to take a look (and most likely there'll be a recording/livestream as well) :D

Gotta love when some excited developers share some ideas they have on their head, only for some unrelated troll to pretend to be a developer and troll people with extremely deceptive replies.

These excited developers, instead of getting constructive feedback and all, they get insults, deceptive feedback, attacks. All that because they wanted to share ideas they had on how to move forward (no code was yet written).

Sound familiar?

Introducing systemd-diskd: A new tool to manage your disks. It can create a systemd partition table and format your partitions using the systemd file system. It can also automatically bootstrap a systemd os install using systemd-repart and make the install bootable with systemd-boot. Upon booting this new os, you are greeted by systemd-greetd, a new login manager using systemd-userdb to show a list of users. After logging in to your user, you are met with the systemd desktop environment where you have access to the full suite of systemd graphical applications.
