      New blog post: Interactive System Troubleshooting with AI using linux-mcp-server

      Instead of copy-pasting command output into AI chats, your AI assistant can now directly query your Linux systems - checking services, logs, network ports, and resources in real-time.

      The post includes a live demo diagnosing a RHEL 10 server running an Omada controller.

          Nice!

          I'm testing Claude Code using the linux-mcp-server to read system information directly from my local machine.

          This is a huge enabler for LLM-assisted troubleshooting. It can read logs, check the journal, inspect systemd units, and pull hardware info in real-time.

          Screenshot of a terminal interface showing 'Claude Code' execution. The system successfully performed 6 MCP calls including get_cpu_information and get_disk_usage. The output shows the system is running Fedora Linux 43 on an AMD Ryzen 7 PRO with 23GB of RAM.

                    Sprich automatischer Upload von mit Ablage im Homeverzeichnis des Users auf dem NAS im Ordner Photos, mit dem korrekten Datei-Owner, idealerweise noch mit Einsortierung in Datums-Ordner.

                    - Nextcloud: eigenes Datenverzeichnis für alle User mit gleichem owner
                    - Immich: siehe Nextcloud
                    - Syncthing-Instanz pro User: ist am Vielversprechendsten, hat aber bei der Android-App aktuell ein Geschmäckle. Und keine Sortierung in Ordner.

                      a different approach to what a launcher can be

                      found this launcher last week and I’ve been playing with it since.

                      It still works with “muscle memory” but instead of placement, it’s the gesture (or direction) that triggers the action. With time it can become quicker and easier, i think, than lawnchair, eblan &c or search based launchers

                                          One thing that influenced my decision to use the iPhone with the Apple Watch as my main device instead of the Pixel with GrapheneOS for health reasons is this: I feel absolutely, ABSOLUTELY bad about it!

                                          On the one hand, of course, because of the data protection issue, but since Trump, I also have the problem that most Europeans have: that you are becoming dependent on a big tech company from the US. A country that is clearly drifting toward fascism, where fundamental rights are being undermined by a mentally ill president with the cognitive development of a toddler, where freedom, an independent judiciary, and democracy are being thrown out the window to give free rein to his hubris.

                                          The example of Microsoft and the chief prosecutor in The Hague showed how quickly one can be cut off from US digital services at the snap of the fascist dictator's fingers. Not to mention that these criminals then have access to all of our data as Europeans. Is that worth the accurate recording of my health data for my doctors and therapy? Because if I have this data, then so do the criminals in the US administration.

                                          What's the point of using open source and free software on all your devices if you betray all that on the most personal device there is, the one you carry with you around the clock—your smartphone?

                                          All of this has been keeping me awake at night for days, and I think I'm going to switch back to GrapheneOS. But I had to try it anyway, otherwise I couldn't make an objective decision.

                                          btw: I liked the USA and Americans – but what Trump and MAGA have done to this wonderful country, to the great people there (but also to the rest of the world and former friends and allies) is a crime. Hate, incitement, persecution, megalomania, and lies. And no resistance to the tyrant anywhere. I can't understand it, no decent European understands it... Americans, take a leaf out of the brave Romanians' book in 1989!

                                                                              Before you stone me, let me say first and foremost that I love GrapheneOS and its almost perfect privacy features! But certain circumstances made a switch more or less necessary.

                                                                              On the one hand, I don't want to constantly carry around two smartphones – especially when I don't want to lug around an extra backpack, wallet, and/or other bags, but just my keys and phone. Then there's the issue of two phone numbers.

                                                                              On the other hand, I use “ID Austria,” Austria's digital government service (they can only dream of such technical achievements in Germany, muahaha!), and like my banking, it doesn't work, or only works poorly, without Play Services installed. The same goes for digital tickets for public transportation.

                                                                              And finally, there's the logging of my health data with Apple Watch, as I have a heart condition, among other things, and Apple Health records all these values very well and perfectly prepares and presents all the relevant data for my doctors. In the end, my health is a little more important to me than data protection. At least I can convince myself that Apple is a little better and more trustworthy here than the data octopus Google.

                                                                              And: the symbiosis between Linux and Apple now works very well. The iCloud calendar can be easily integrated into GNOME or KDE calendars, and that's what my entire daily organization revolves around. That was the most important point for me. And with Localsend, I have a perfect Airdrop alternative for data exchange, and Nextcloud also works smoothly on both platforms. So, apart from my health, I'm currently more than satisfied with how things are going!

ProxCLMC evaluates all nodes within the cluster and checks for the maxmimum supported type to make sure live migrations can perform without any issues. ProxCLMC is fully opensource and entirely written in Rust.

I made a package some time ago which serves exactly this purpose. You can find the package, as well as it's history on Codeberg with the following link. It is currently my only Emacs package, but I plan to make more when it becomes useful to.

                                                                                                                      codeberg.org/amadaluzia/theo.el

                                                                                                                      Appending to the history after the package was published onto Codeberg, I ended up in a call where me and @izder456 were talking about theo.el. I believe in that call, it was also reposted in the OpenBSD room on Matrix. I also remember being suggested to put it on MELPA, so that is exactly what I did.

                                                                                                                      After creating the pull request and fixing all of the issues that stopped it from being pushed into MELPA, it couldn't make it on as it was a pretty repetitive package, and there were about 5 other `fortune`-esque packages with much more customisability. However, I now have a better package because of MELPA's guidelines, and I believe that I can still give attention to the package, even if not through MELPA.

                                                                                                                      That's why I wanted to talk about it here, because maybe you are interested in having a fortune package for your GNU Emacs. If so, and assuming you have straight.el, you can simply copy the following snippet into your init.el. After that, you should have it installed.

The material is grounded in empirical, field-tested strategies used in cyber-security, digital forensics, cyber threat intelligence, and intelligence analysis more broadly.

She was the first non-Chinese woman to be awarded a post-graduate diploma in fine arts by the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Chongqing, China.

The photography was taken by Alexandre Dulaunoy at Poétique de la ligne, exposition de Fabienne Verdier au Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, 2025.

I chose an image from Fabienne Verdier’s Poétique de la ligne because it visually echoes the essence of pivoting. Her work is not about representing objects, but about tracing lines that connect forces, movements, and spaces that would otherwise remain separate. A single line can bridge different scales, different energies, and different worlds.

This is precisely what pivoting aims to do in intelligence analysis: to trace meaningful lines between data points that appear unrelated at first glance, and to move across technical, human, and contextual domains. Just as Verdier’s line is both deliberate and exploratory, pivoting is an act of disciplined intuition—following a connection far enough to see whether it reveals structure, meaning, or truth.

The image serves as a reminder that analysis is not only about accumulation, but about connection: the art of drawing lines where others see fragments.

She was the first non-Chinese woman to be awarded a post-graduate diploma in fine arts by the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in Chongqing, China. The photography was taken by Alexandre Dulaunoy at Poétique de la ligne, exposition de Fabienne Verdier au Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, 2025. I chose an image from Fabienne Verdier’s Poétique de la ligne because it visually echoes the essence of pivoting.

In der Berichterstattung hat sich auch niemand tiefer damit beschäftigt, warum dieser Pi ausgerechnet im vollen Formfaktor kommt. Also habe ich etwas recherchiert und herausgefunden dass dieser Pi 5 genau richtig dimensioniert ist, er soll nämlich gar nicht verkauft werden.

It's about organizing large numbers of people to do something they wouldn't otherwise do. Corporations organize large numbers of people to do things they probably wouldn't do if they weren't paid and/or didn't need the money to live. 10,000 people wouldn't spontaneously get together and spend the best hours of their days for months building a commercial jet airliner if there weren't corporate structures in place and a society that keeps them close enough to deprivation that they will do this in exchange for money.
