I just joined the r/tui subreddit! 😄 https://www.reddit.com/r/tui/

But don't make the same mistake and get involved with TUIs. 😜

To me, #CLI applications are incredibly powerful because they take full advantage of everything a terminal can do. #GUI applications are user friendly and make the most of modern graphical toolkits and desktop environments.

#TUI applications sit somewhere in the middle: they try to mimic windows, buttons, dialogs, and other GUI elements inside a terminal. In my opinion, that means they aren't as powerful as a CLI, and they aren't as intuitive or visually appealing as a GUI either. 🙂

I've actually written utilities for all three (+ WEB) interfaces for #FreeBSD's sysctl, so maybe I'll write a blog post comparing the strengths and weaknesses of each approach.

Personally, I still prefer CLIs and GUIs. What about you? Which interface do you prefer?

@Richard_Littler You're not wrong, but the culture I see doesn't want to invest any trust to speak of in the alternative solutions of the SelfHosters of the world. The SelfHosters know how to make this grassroots internet you suggest, but they all do it in a different way. The normies of the world can't bear losing network effects, to adopt a frayed variety of solutions, where there are no network effects anywhere. The "consensual emotional clan warmth", for lack of a better term (which the status quo affords; using big tech Social media), would be lost, and although they won't come out and admit it, this isn't a thinkable, bearable loss to the normies.

You're up against a wall of unbearable emotional loss; alas this isn't really about logic.

🔒🏴‍☠️ Transmission 4.1.3 a fost lansat! Actualizarea repară o vulnerabilitate critică la accesul de la distanță 🛡️🌐

Echipa din spatele popularului client BitTorrent open-source, Transmission, a lansat oficial versiunea 4.1.3. Aceasta este o actualizare de tip „bug-fix” de dimensiuni reduse, dar extrem de importantă, deoarece se concentrează pe rezolvarea unei probleme de securitate ce vizează utilizatorii care controlează aplicația de la distanță.

Iată principalele detalii despre Transmission 4.1.3:

🔹 Repararea unei vulnerabilități CSRF / CORS:
Principala corectură din această versiune rezolvă o problemă potențială de tip CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) care îi afecta pe utilizatorii ce aveau activată opțiunea de acces de la distanță (Remote Access) prin intermediul interfeței web sau RPC. Mai exact, a fost eliminat un bug legat de politicile CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) care permitea scurgerea (leak) codului de securitate unic anti-CSRF (nonce). Fără acest patch, un atacator ar fi putut încerca să manipuleze de la distanță sesiunea Transmission a utilizatorului.

🔹 Alte corecturi tehnice:

A fost rezolvat un bug de tip use-after-free (o eroare de gestionare a memoriei RAM) localizat în codul care se ocupă de conexiunile de tip peer-to-peer.

S-a remediat o problemă de compilare ce apărea pe sistemele care utilizează biblioteca fmt 12.2.

A fost corectată o eroare de construcție (build error) legată de testele interne, care fusese introdusă din greșeală în versiunea anterioară, 4.1.2.

Transmission 4.1.3 este disponibil deja pentru descărcare pe pagina oficială de GitHub a proiectului, unde se găsesc atât codul sursă, cât și pachetele precompilate pentru diverse platforme. Pentru utilizatorii de distribuții Linux de tip rolling release (cum ar fi Arch Linux), noua versiune va sosi în mod automat în depozite în orele sau zilele următoare. Pentru alte distribuții, pachetul va deveni disponibil de îndată ce maintainerii locali îl vor include în managerul de pachete.

Recomandarea generală este ca toți utilizatorii care folosesc funcția de administrare web de la distanță să treacă la versiunea 4.1.3 cât mai curând posibil.

💻🚀 Git 2.55 a fost lansat! Optimizări masive de viteză pentru depozitele Linux uriașe 🛠️📂

O nouă versiune majoră a sistemului de control al versiunilor Git este acum disponibilă. Git 2.55 se concentrează puternic pe performanță, aducând optimizări de viteză substanțiale, menite să ușureze viața dezvoltatorilor care lucrează cu monorepo-uri sau depozite cu volume uriașe de date și istoric extins.

Iată cele mai importante noutăți introduse în Git 2.55:

🔹 Sărituri uriașe de viteză pentru depozitele mari:
Modificările aduse sub capotă vizează direct algoritmul de parcurgere a grafului de commit-uri și modul în care Git procesează referințele. Comenzi frecvente precum git log, git status sau git fetch rulează acum considerabil mai rapid în bazele de cod de dimensiuni enterprise (cum sunt cele ale kernelului Linux, Windows sau marilor proiecte web).

🔹 Optimizarea indicelui de fișiere (Index Improvements):
Git 2.55 aduce rafinări modului în care funcționează sparse index (indexul parțial), reducând consumul de memorie și timpii de CPU atunci când se lucrează doar pe anumite sub-directoare dintr-un depozit masiv. Această funcție este esențială pentru echipele care vor să evite descărcarea locală a întregului istoric al unui monorepo.

🔹 Îmbunătățiri pentru comenzile de bază:

git maintenance: Utilitarul de fundal care se ocupă de optimizarea automată a bazei de date Git (cum ar fi împachetarea obiectelor libere) a primit noi parametri de configurare, permițând administratorilor să programeze sarcini mai puțin intruzive în timpul orelor de lucru.

git diff și git blame: Au fost introduse optimizări care accelerează compararea fișierelor mari și identificarea autorilor în fișierele cu un istoric foarte fragmentat.

🔹 Securitate și gestionarea referințelor:
Noua versiune continuă tranziția și suportul robust către backend-ul de referințe reftable, o tehnologie concepută pentru a înlocui stocarea tradițională a referințelor bazată pe fișiere text (loose/packed refs), eliminând blocajele de performanță (I/O) la nivelul sistemului de fișiere atunci când există zeci de mii de ramuri (branches) sau etichete (tags).

Ca de obicei, actualizarea include și o serie lungă de corecturi de bug-uri, mesaje de eroare mai clare și actualizări ale documentației oficiale. Git 2.55 va sosi în perioada următoare în depozitele oficiale ale tuturor distribuțiilor majore de Linux, dar codul sursă poate fi descărcat deja de pe site-ul oficial al proiectului.

🍷🎮 Wine 11.12 a fost lansat! Biblioteci FFmpeg integrate, Mono 11.2 și suport extins pentru aplicațiile Windows 🚀✨

Proiectul Wine a anunțat oficial lansarea versiunii Wine 11.12, cea mai nouă iterație a stratului de compatibilitate open-source ce permite rularea jocurilor și aplicațiilor Windows pe sisteme Linux, macOS și Unix-like. Această actualizare aduce îmbunătățiri importante de structură internă și rezolvă o serie de probleme istorice.

Iată principalele noutăți din Wine 11.12:

🔹 Biblioteci FFmpeg incluse nativ:
O schimbare majoră de arhitectură o reprezintă integrarea directă a bibliotecilor libswresample și libswscale din cadrul proiectului FFmpeg. Prin includerea lor nativă (bundled), Wine asigură o consistență perfectă a versiunilor acestor componente multimedia, reducând dependența exclusivă de pachetele furnizate de distribuția gazdă.

🔹 Actualizare la Wine Mono 11.2:
Motorul Mono a fost actualizat la versiunea 11.2. Acesta servește drept alternativă open-source la Microsoft .NET Framework, oferind un suport crucial și o stabilitate mult mai mare pentru jocurile și aplicațiile Windows moderne care necesită componente .NET pentru a funcționa.

🔹 Suport îmbunătățit pentru driverul Wayland:
Pe lângă pachetele multimedia, noul Wine 11.12 aduce îmbunătățiri substanțiale pentru driverul grafic nativ Wayland, inclusiv suport pentru scalare fracționată (fractional scaling) și alte optimizări vizuale destinate desktop-urilor Linux moderne.

🔹 Rezolvarea unor bug-uri istorice (Corel & MSXML):
A fost reimplementat parserul XSLPattern în componenta MSXML. Această modificare elimină erorile vechi ce împiedicau rularea pachetelor software clasice de la Corel, cum ar fi Corel Paint Shop Photo Pro, precum și suitele grafice CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X3 și X4.

🔹 Corecturi pentru gaming și sistem (27 de bug-uri reparate):
Noua versiune vine la pachet cu 27 de patch-uri destinate erorilor raportate:

Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005): A fost rezolvată o problemă supărătoare legată de gamepad-uri, unde comanda „Sus” (Up) rămânea blocată și se activa continuu fără intervenția utilizatorului.

Super Hexagon: S-a reparat bug-ul din cauza căruia jocul ignora orice comandă introdusă de la gamepad după selectarea unei opțiuni din ecranul de titlu.

S-au introdus corecturi pentru compilarea de tip cross-build (unde executabilul Wine nu se instala corect), s-au rezolvat erori de configurare pe sistemele unde lipsea comanda ln -s și s-au reparat crash-uri legate de biblioteca SymCrypt compilată cu clang-msvc.

Codul sursă pentru Wine 11.12 este disponibil pentru descărcare pe pagina de GitLab a proiectului, iar pachetele binare dedicate marilor distribuții Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch) vor sosi treptat prin canalele oficiale de actualizare.

Anki, the incredible spaced repetition software, has lots of settings that let you tweak your learning goals. One of them is the "desired retention". To quote the #anki documentation:

"The default value of 0.9 will schedule cards so you have a 90% chance of remembering them when they come up for review again."

Increasing the desired retention will increase the daily workload, because cards will be shown to you more often. Lowering the value will decrease the workload at the expense of forgetting more cards.

I keep desired retention at the default value and the screenshot from today's statistics shows why I tend to refer to Anki as "memory on demand". Retention is around 90% in most areas.

There are no limits to what you can learn with Anki as long as you are willing to put in the work. And in exchange, Anki will deliver the result you configured. It is open source and works across platforms.

📺🎬 Kodi 22 „Piers” a intrat în faza Beta! Schimbări majore de randare pentru utilizatorii Linux 🐧🚀

Echipa de dezvoltare a popularului software open-source pentru home theater a lansat oficial Kodi 22 „Piers” Beta. Odată cu finalizarea implementării funcțiilor principale, atenția echipei s-a mutat pe stabilitate, performanță și finisarea detaliilor înainte de marea lansare stabilă.

Iată cele mai importante noutăți incluse în Kodi 22 Beta:

🔹 Schimbări majore de randare pe Linux:
Utilizatorii de Linux – în special cei care folosesc platforme integrate (embedded) și dispozitive bazate pe arhitectură ARM – primesc cele mai importante îmbunătățiri. Această versiune aduce o rescriere substanțială a motorului de randare Linux pentru platformele ce utilizează DRM, GBM și GLES.

Tehnologia GLES ajunge la paritate de funcții cu GL.

Se introduce suport complet HDR cap-la-coadă (end-to-end): decodare, colorimetrie, interfață grafică (GUI) cu tonemapping și ieșire pe 10 biți.

Adaugă suport pentru decodare pe 12 biți, tehnologii de dithering și scalere de înaltă calitate pentru GLES.

Suport pentru decodare hardware prin VAAPI pentru formate HEVC 4:2:2 și 4:4:4 pe GLES.

🔹 Actualizare multimedia de bază:
Kodi 22 face trecerea la FFmpeg 8.1, componenta esențială pentru procesarea video și audio. Pe partea video, s-au adăugat etichete de informații pentru bitrate-ul în timp real, s-a îmbunătățit gestionarea capitolelor și s-au integrat semnele de carte (bookmarks) direct în funcțiile de derulare înainte/înapoi.

🔹 Corecturi audio și subtitrări:

S-au rezolvat problemele de decalaj audio la transmisiunile Live TV când se folosește passthrough AC3/EAC3 și un crash raportat la redarea sunetului DTS-HD.

Subtitrările beneficiază de o vizibilitate sporită, corecturi de sincronizare, o mai bună gestionare a headerelor de script ASS/SSA și afișarea codecului curent al subtitrării în timpul redării.

🔹 Managementul bibliotecii media:
A fost adăugat un nou dialog numit „Media Details”, insigne speciale care arată limba audio direct pe elementele din listă, suport extins pentru formate HDR în interfață și îmbunătățiri în citirea structurilor de Blu-ray. Totodată, au fost rezolvate incompatibilitățile bazelor de date la distanță cu versiunile noi de MySQL 9.6+ și MariaDB 10.x.

🔹 Optimizări pentru alte platforme:

Android: S-au reparat crash-urile legate de recunoașterea vocală, navigarea prin Zeroconf și erorile la curățarea bibliotecii.

tvOS & webOS: S-au adus optimizări pentru comenzile de redare prin Siri Remote și s-au rezolvat bug-uri de playback.

Dezvoltatori: Python a fost actualizat la versiunea 3.14, iar add-on-urile de tip Inputstream primesc la rândul lor suport pentru HDR, metadate de culoare și output pe 10/12 biți.

Versiunea Kodi 22 „Piers” Beta poate fi descărcată de pe pagina oficială a proiectului, la secțiunea „Prerelease”. Dezvoltatorii avertizează că, fiind o versiune pre-lansare, pot apărea bug-uri sau regresii, motiv pentru care se recomandă realizarea unei copii de siguranță (backup) a configurării actuale înainte de instalare.

🚀 CachyOS aduce o experiență Hyprland Noctalia rafinată în actualizarea din iunie! 🐧🎮

Echipa din spatele CachyOS – distribuția bazată pe Arch Linux recunoscută pentru optimizările sale de performanță și gaming – a lansat noul ISO pentru iunie 2026. Aceasta este a patra actualizare majoră din acest an și vine cu noutăți extrem de interesante atât la nivel vizual, cât și sub capotă.

Iată cele mai importante modificări din această versiune:
🔹 Hyprland Noctalia: Cea mai vizibilă noutate este introducerea opțiunii de desktop CachyOS Hyprland Noctalia direct în installer. Utilizatorii primesc acum și un video de previzualizare pentru a vedea cum arată interfața înainte de a finaliza instalarea.
🔹 Optimizări extreme de performanță: Python folosește acum optimizări extinse de tip PGO (Profile-Guided Optimization) pentru a rula sarcini de lucru mult mai rapid. De asemenea, a fost adăugat un patch GCC pentru optimizarea predicției ramificațiilor (branch misprediction), ajutând compilatorul să ruleze mai eficient pe procesoarele moderne Intel și AMD.
🔹 Securitate sporită în Pacman: Managerul de pachete izolează acum scripturile (scriptlets și hooks) de rețea, împiedicându-le să acceseze internetul în mod implicit în timpul instalării pachetelor.
🔹 Software de ultimă generație: Noua imagine vine cu nucleul customizat CachyOS Linux kernel 7.1, alături de KDE Plasma 6.7.1, KDE Frameworks 6.27, Qt 6.11 și Wayland activat nativ.
🔹 Schimbări în ecosistem: Utilitarul paru a fost eliminat, fiind înlocuit cu Shelly (un manager de pachete modern cu interfață grafică pentru sistemele bazate pe Arch). De asemenea, aplicația GNOME System Monitor a fost înlocuită cu Resources, iar aplicația de Welcome oferă acum suport pentru DNS-over-QUIC prin blocky.
🔹 Detecție hardware inteligentă: Instrumentul chwd a fost îmbunătățit pentru a rezolva conflictele de drivere pe sistemele multi-GPU (de exemplu, configurații mixte cu generații diferite de plăci video NVIDIA). CachyOS va alege automat cel mai bun driver comun sau va prioritiza placa grafică principală.

Actualizarea rezolvă, de asemenea, diverse bug-uri legate de timpii de oprire a serviciilor (timeout-uri reduse pentru a preveni blocajele la shutdown) și crash-uri ale aplicației de Welcome.

Dacă folosești deja CachyOS, nu trebuie să reinstalezi nimic; un simplu sudo pacman -Syu te trece direct la noua versiune!

And here’s that exact same code running on the device. It’s nothing to look at, it is a minimal viable text-editor so far, but the fact that it _can_ be changed is what matters. There hasn’t been an open-source plain text editor for this platform, ever.
