Seems like docker is leaning harder into compose - which is great for me as a heavy compose user. I had heard about some of the LLM enablements directly through docker desktop - for example taking fuller advantage of the host's compute power without paying the penalty of the nvidia runtime or something... I can't claim to have followed it all but I heard "run LLMs in docker directly for a bigger boost" and I'm in.

Tyblog | systemd has been a complete, utter, ...
https://blog.tjll.net/the-systemd-revolution-has-been-a-success/I found this post on systemd this morning, and although I've been a Linux user for around 6 years now, there's some levels of it that are pretty foreign to me. One of the things I never got was the drama around systemd - but that's because I wasn't around in the beforefore times, I don't use cron THAT MUCH, and I've only had to setup a few systemd unit files - not enough to generate a real opinion on it. But lately I'm looking into more automation at home - and some stuff is fun to put into an overkill of a platform for a homelab, like temporal, but some stuff should probably be run in more hardened ways (backups for example) - so getting a little download this morning on systemd from a clearly seasoned Linux user is a nice addition to my hot cup of coffee.

uv cache prune
https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jul/8/uv-cache-prune/#atom-everythingGood point to check on your uv cache if you are running low on disk space. I checked mine today, and it wasn't too bad so I left it alone.
du -sh `uv cache dir`

omarchy/install/webapps.sh at master · baseca ...
https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/blob/master/install/webapps.shI'm digging these web2app's from DHH's omarchy for setting up an opinionated archlinux hyprland. This gives a way to quickly open a web app as an app either with a hotkey or run launcher in its own dedicated window that you can put on it's own workspace. I really like a workflow of keeping one window per workspace on one monitor and I can quickly navigate between apps with a single hotkey. This gives you the power to switch through things like chat, terminal, browser, steam game with blazing speed from the keybaord, no clicking no searching, just going directly to it.

restic · Backups done right!
https://restic.net/Welp, I need to be backing up my desktop home directory, specifically a directory of docker volume data... I thought duplicati made sense, but that mostly targets cloud-based backends, and rsync is great but I wasn't sure how i wanted to manage the job. Through a little AI chat I learned about restic and am working on a compose stack to run restic in a container to regularly backup my home directory via sftp to my NAS to then be swept up in my NAS backup workflow

Add confirmation for hard reset by stefanhall ...
https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit/pull/4704I float between lazygit and gitui still for my terminal-based git flow and I want to lean into lazygit more fully. One issue is that the keybinding for lazygit
brings up a menu there the first option is to nuke the entire working tree... in gitui this just resets the one file that's highlighted in the TUI. So that's obviously 100% my fault, however it's nice to see this PR open for adding confirmation for this potential blunder that has cost me several uncommitted scripts and changes... -

GitHub - chase/awrit: A full graphical web br ...
https://github.com/chase/awritawrit is a full graphical browser that runs inside of kitty. I've moved on some of my machines away from kitty as the maintainer has seemed so hostile and there are other great therminals out there, but I'm going to give this a go. I have kitty running on my hyprland setup as it is the default anyways. It is actual chromium rendering to a kitty graphics protocol.

HomeBox
https://homebox.software/en/I stumbled onto homebox this morning scrolling a newsletter and it looks like something I've been lightly thinking about for a while. I have wanted a way to track all the things in my house, but I haven't given it enough thought to come up with the specific manner in which to do it. I've seen other asset trackers but today this one excited me. I spun it up at home quick and it looks great - It'll take quite a lot of time to fill it out but here's a few features I love out of the gate:
- the default setup seems very useful - pre-populated locations and tags for cataloging assets reduces the barrier to entry for me
- it's pretty nice lookin
- there's a label generator including qr codes that take you to the record in your homebox... I had an idea for something like this a while ago - qr codes to link to instructions for things around the house (like cleaning the oven or something). So it's neat to see that similar idea played out in another more useful way!

https://postmarketos.org/blog/2024/06/16/v24.06-release/This is the OS you can install onto an old phone to run linux on it - using this OS you could set-up a cluster of phones. I'm interested in this someday, although today the to-do list is too long to worry about it
