I've been exploring different approaches to agent memory.

Keep the Why, past.dev, Agent Memory Repo and agentmemory all preserve different kinds of knowledge, in different places.

I wrote a comparison covering their strengths, limitations and architectural tradeoffs.

Including where my own project falls short.

One interesting question: how do you preserve decision rationale across repositories without centralizing everything?

New on the blog: ArtCraft is rebuilding Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere, Word, Excel and more in Rust, with AI coding agents.

I tried it. PhotoCraft actually handled my video thumbnails, apps start in 1-2 seconds, and there are native #FreeBSD builds.

The more interesting part: GUI, CLI and agents drive the same engine. And when code gets cheap, verification becomes the bottleneck.

Linux Mint 27 “Adrien” is scheduled for Christmas 2026, marking a shift to annual releases and the end of traditional point updates.

Same hard-coded values (5°, 7°, 25°), same variable and function names, same steps, in the same order.
On one side, FairScan (Kotlin, GPL v3). On the other, Ente Locker (Rust): no copyright notice, no mention of FairScan in the file.
And this is just one function. I found similar matches in multiple files.

I'm not a lawyer and may be missing something. If you read code, I'd like to know what you see.

Guten Morgen

Ein Backup ist eine zweite Kopie deiner Daten, die getrennt vom Original liegt. Landet sie auf derselben Platte, hilft sie kaum, denn fällt die Platte aus, sind beide weg. Deshalb gehört eine Sicherung auf ein anderes Gerät, eine externe Platte, einen zweiten Rechner oder in die Cloud (Nextcloud). Wichtig ist vor allem der Rhythmus, denn wer regelmäßig sichert, hat im Ernstfall etwas in der Hand, während ein bloßer Vorsatz schnell wieder verblasst. Dazu kommt die Frage, ob man nur seine Dateien kopiert oder ein Abbild des ganzen Systems zieht. Dateien reichen meist, ein Abbild spart bei einem Defekt viel Arbeit. Am Ende zählt nur eines, eine Sicherung, die man wirklich zurückholen kann.

Machst du Sicherungen von deinen Daten?

Nothing sells a monopoly like an apocalypse.

I call bullshit on OpenAI and Anthropic using extinction fears to sell rules that could price out their competition.

You don’t have to ban open source to kill it. Just make compliance, liability and approval so expensive that only Big Tech can participate.

Make the rules proportionate to the risks. I’m not interested in renting intelligence from a handful of companies forever.

Open Source is freedom.
Open Source is sharing.
Open Source is being free from obligations.
It's making your own kind of music.

That Open Source must use GitHub is blasphemy.

That those who do Open Source must use specific tools or solutions is an abomination.

And when that tool belongs to a company, it's just another form of embrace, extend, extinguish.

Open Source is a license, a free one, that protects the software and/or the people.

Everything else is corporate in disguise.

We recently published our LLM policy, requiring all code and documentation contributions to be authored by a human. We do accept reports of vulnerabilities found with LLMs.

It has drawn a lot of feedback, both positive and negative. In this article we want to explain the background and motivation behind our choices.

I've had my Nitrokey 3C for a few months now (alongside a Nitrokey 3A NFC). It's been setup as a backup key, and I've generally been happy with it. My only nit/gripe is how "NFC" was removed from the casing. It seems like someone took a black marker and tried hiding it that way, as opposed to not having it printed in the first place. I would also like to have a mobile application to get 2FA codes from the physical key itself (like Yubikey does).

When getting this backup setup, I had managed to forget the pin to my main key (don't recommend that), so, I was able to set both up at the same time.

I'm keeping an eye on Linux phones, and especially on the RK3588S SoC and the upcming RK3668.

As you might know, I've been sounding the alarm about the "end of Android" for a while now. Yes, yes, I know, AOSP is top notch on mobile compared to Linux, and GrapheneOS is the way to go.

For now. As long as it lasts.

But I'm quite convinced that the frog started to boil long ago already. We cannot hold high hopes for a platform which is, ultimately, too much controlled by Google. I think time is ticking, and we urgently need Linux alternatives to mobile.

"Won't happen, all apps are for Android and iOS already" is a lame point of view. We wouldn't have LibreOffice if people were "Won't happen, everybody is using MS Office already". Just make it happen!

Been a few months since getting my backup @nitrokey (3C without NFC). Really happy overall, and the cover is super handy!

My only nit on this particular model is how "NFC" was poorly covered. It seems like it was covered with a marker, instead of just not being printed on at all.

"A developer frustrated by Adobe's cancellation fees used Anthropic's Opus 5.5 model and pure Rust to rewrite the entire Creative Cloud suite as open-source alternatives. The seven applications — PhotoCraft (Photoshop), VectorCraft (Illustrator), FilmCraft (Premiere Pro), EffectCraft (After Effects), LightCraft (Lightroom), DesignCraft (InDesign), and PdfCraft (Acrobat) — were built from scratch using clean-room reverse engineering without touching Adobe's original code. Within the first week, the GitHub repository garnered 24K stars.

The apps run natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with some capable of running in browsers via WebAssembly. Shortly after, the same team (ArtCraft) released three Microsoft Office clones: GridCraft (Excel), WordCraft (Word), and DeckCraft (PowerPoint). All three replicate the familiar UI structures — cell layouts, document editing, slide masters, animations — and are completely free, open-source, subscription-free, and written in Rust."

Guten Morgen

Ein Dateisystem bestimmt, wie Daten auf der Festplatte geordnet werden. Es sorgt dafür, dass jede Datei einen Platz bekommt und später wiedergefunden wird, ähnlich wie Regale in einer Bibliothek. Namen, Ordner und Rechte werden darin verwaltet, und das System merkt sich, welche Bereiche belegt sind. Viele kennen nur eine Variante, dabei gibt es mehrere mit eigenen Stärken. Manche setzen auf Robustheit, andere auf Snapshots oder auf Tempo. Im Alltag merkt man davon meist nichts, solange alles läuft. Erst bei der Installation kommt die Frage auf, welche man nimmt.

**NEBUVERSE – Mein eigenes Stück Fediverse**

Darin geht’s um meine eigene kleine GoToSocial-Instanz auf Worldnode:

Warum ich sie gebaut habe, wie ich GoToSocial ohne Docker auf Debian 13 eingerichtet habe, wie WebFinger, Relays und nginx zusammenspielen – und wie ich Speicherverbrauch, Backups und Restore-Tests gelöst habe.

Kein „Selfhosting ist Magie“-Gelaber, sondern mein echter Aufbau mit echten Messwerten und den Dingen, über die man beim Basteln wirklich stolpert.

After a few weeks with Debian Stable, I decided yesterday to switch to Debian Testing after all. On more modern computers, it really does make a difference whether I have kernel 6.3 or 7.2 available or can use significantly more up-to-date packages.

Last month I also played around with Debian Sid, and it was absolutely stable for me, though the constant updates—often several times a day—were annoying. So Testing is the perfect compromise for me.

Let me just say this: I still consider Fedora to be the best Linux distribution from a technical standpoint—the absolute gold standard. But unfortunately, in 2026, the world looks like this: Fedora = Red Hat = IBM = Big Tech = USA = Trump. And I absolutely don’t want to use anything from Trump’s shithole country anymore.

So I crafted "a Keyboard Switcher" which is an open-source macOS menu bar application that makes it easier to switch paired Bluetooth input devices between Macs. Instead of manually reconnecting everything, you can simply release devices on one Mac and connect them on the other with just a few clicks.

Some of the features include:

• Connect or release individual Bluetooth devices
• Group multiple devices, such as a Magic Keyboard and Magic Mouse, and switch them together
• Use global hotkeys to switch device groups without opening the menu
• Get an overview of paired and connected devices directly from the macOS menu bar

Guten Abend

Diese Woche hat mir wieder gezeigt, warum ich hier bin. Zu fast jeder Frage kamen Antworten aus der Runde, oft aus eigener Erfahrung und mit viel Geduld. Egal ob es um Distributionen, Paketverwaltung oder Datenschutz ging, irgendwer hatte einen Rat parat und nahm sich die Zeit, ihn aufzuschreiben. Ich bin noch nicht lange dabei und habe in diesen Tagen mehr gelernt als erwartet.

Ein herzliches Dankeschön an alle, die mir geholfen haben. Ich gebe das gern zurück, sobald ich kann.

Einen schönen Sonntagabend.
