Hey, everybody? I get that it's frustrating when Codeberg is down. But please remember that it's a community project, and that the expectation of "everything is up 100% of the time" was created by exactly those tech companies that were killing off communities for the past 20 years. 100% uptime was never true before Facebook/Google/etc. came around, not even close.

And it's even more difficult to keep things up nowadays; there is *so much more* malicious traffic coming from the internet now than back then, especially since the rise of LLM scrapers.

So if you want Codeberg to be down less often, might I suggest reaching out to them about volunteering instead? Not right now, because they're probably pretty busy getting things back up, but once things have been stabilized a bit. Then you yourself can help improve the uptime!

Who’s responsible for bug reports on old software versions?

pointieststick.com/2026/07/19/whos-responsible-for-bug-reports-on-old-software-versions

Consider this hypothetical: An operating system (OS) ships version 1.5 of a piece of software. Meanwhile, the latest version of that software is 3.0. A user on that OS experiences an issue in version 1.5, or has an idea for a new feature. Who should they…

Step 1: Tell Claude to rewrite a project in Rust for literally no reason
Step 2: Tell Claude to write a post about it because you no longer know how to
Step 3: Bask in the glory of the achievement

It’s so hard to turn off Apple Intelligence with macOS 27 and iOS 27.

You can’t turn off Apple Intelligence with one switch. You can turn off “reply suggestions” on macOS, but not on iOS. Things you type with “smart event details” turned on (default) in Calendar may not make it into the event.

I used to be able to create a new event, and typing would match against prior events. A past event named identically would inherit the same time. Now, it doesn’t!

Now that’s what I call “intelligence”!

For some reason the entirety of kernel releases got nuked from cdn.kernel.org?

https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel used to host kernel release tarballs. Now it's a 404.

Someone emailed helpdesk@kernel.org and they said they're resyncing, but does anyone know what happened there?

LoongArch Pi Zero, absolute cinema

Had a user come into #nouveau today, because colors were oversaturated, very bright green (using Mate)

A bit back and forth, and we found it was the TV switching to a "vivid" color profile

As a thank you, they told a little story:

Back in the days they were working in a TV shop and there was this customer complaining about a "green tint" on their home cinema system. Customer brought it back into the store. Tried with a demo DvD, perfect colors. Turns out, the customer was watching the matrix

continuing the trend of changing the header background on floppy.cd-rom.net once per month, here’s the edit I made for July:)

For years we have been overwhelmed by the volume of code contributions we have to review, especially from new contributors.

AI has made the problem much worse.

That's why we are taking steps to reduce the burden on maintainers while still welcoming new contributors:

the joke isn't mine, but I could not find any SVG on the internet

Used font is Dutch 801 Bold (Italic), Bitstream's version of Times Ten, which appeared to be close to the original logo but is not an exact match.

I recorded the last few minutes listening via an online SDR. it’s interesting that the final beep of the the pips is shorter than usual - it seems they did indeed stop broadcasting at exactly 00:00 UTC

Active AUR malicious packages incident

https://archlinux.org/news/active-aur-malicious-packages-incident/

#ArchLinux #Linux

After a long discussion with @aelin today I got thinking about how much I've seen many of the TCs (and myself!) in #postmarketOS change, improve, and develop (both humanly and technically) through the last 3 years since we started expanding the maintainer base. It is incredibly fulfilling to see people making mistakes and learning and improving. We all mess up, we all have our incompatibilities, but it just feels good to be part of this team

In less than two weeks I'll be joining Night of the refugees in the Netherlands to walk 50 kilometers to raise money for refugees!

Please donate if you can <3

bike thief: "oh i dont know about any bikes"

the cops who have heard me chirp my bike airtag in his shed:

We are considering dropping armhf (specifically armv6, not armv7) from postmarketOS edge, since we barely have any devices that make use of this architecture among other reasons. Please read the full issue for details.

If this impacts you, let us know!
