l00sedon CVE-2026-111943: Compromised Intermediate Certificate Authority

For me, this comment actually bolsters the argument for containers imo. It's a lot easier to rebuild a system image and redeploy it out across a bunch of apps than it is to update a bunch of VMs (maybe ansible/puppet makes it moot). Idk

l00sedon CVE-2026-111943: Compromised Intermediate Certificate Authority

I honestly think you're better off with RHEL. They might have been slow to act in this situation, but do one scan on a Debian vs a RHEL system container image and I'm confident Debian's will show a lot more red than RHEL (even with the fedora)

l00sedon Actively exploited sandbox RCE in all Chromium versions

It's so ubiquitous and unavoidable at this point.. I was at a conference lecture in 2020 where someone was suggesting disabling JavaScript and I thought the same thing— how absurd. The times have really changed...

l00sedon Termixer (TUI DJ Mixer)

Totally! I'd love to work that in somehow

l00sedon Termixer (TUI DJ Mixer)

Nice! Thanks!

l00sedon Termixer (TUI DJ Mixer)

That's rad!

l00sedon Termixer (TUI DJ Mixer)

I'll come out and say it, heavily AI-assisted. First rust project, and wanted to dive on in with something that I'd been wanting to make. Lots of iteration, almost entirely free opencode tier models and agentic edits. I know what behavior I'm looking for though, and rust is pretty good at finding obvious errors (clippy too). It's not a production app, and it's just for fun, so ya. :)

l00sedon Termixer (TUI DJ Mixer)

Exactly! And ghostty shaders!!

I was thinking of doing something like aaa (ASCII art animation) to play videos in the pads section...

I've actually gotten it running on the steamdeck which is freakin dope and hilarious

l00sedon Termixer (TUI DJ Mixer)

I think for algorave stuff it's great because I'm already at the keyboard, but I totally agree with you otherwise. I was thinking (way too complex at this point) of adding control macros to be able to "turn" 2 knobs at once, because that's something real hands and knobs can do, but not this TUI atm.

l00sedon ZCode – Harness for GLM-5.2

Haha I pretty much commented the same thing one minute apart.

l00sedon ZCode – Harness for GLM-5.2

OpenCode was the first agent harness I used, and I have always like it. You can configure a wide variety of providers, but it's open source and has a number of core contributors.

The other opinionated option is Pi (the Pi agent harness). This is a great lightweight option and also supports a number of providers. You can also use local model servers.

l00sedon Cold-blooded software (2023)

Exactly my thoughts with Nextjs. Haha So sad...

l00sedon Cold-blooded software (2023)

That's true. Even then, though, you're dealing with backwards-compatibility support as the system updates. A compiled binary might run well for the systems it was compiled for, but what about longer timelines (a decade)? Will the newest system be able to easily run that compiled binary? Not always... and there's always the possibility it might include vulnerabilities that weren't discovered until later.

I was reading about terminal text editors (em, en, vi, vim, neovim, etc.), and it's interesting how some of the software that "lasts" is more like Theseus' Ship. All the original components replaced over time, but the core concepts last.

l00sedon Cold-blooded software (2023)

Really nicely written and quite thought-provoking. I think about when I die, will anyone be able to use or maintain any of the software I've written? Updates and patches are something so entwined with software that I doubt much of my code would be worth using if it suddenly froze.

It puts a beautiful spotlight on OSS communities and what they do to keep software alive through refactoring, iteration, patching. Also, on well-written documentation— perhaps that's even more important than the code for longterm maintenence and value. A good thesis that encourages someone to write it again, and better?

l00sedon Dotter: Dotfile manager and templater written in Rust

I've been using dotter for 5+ years and it's been an amazing tool. Doesn't go all in like NixOS, but lets you get close to that functionality by allowing templating to reuse a single dotfile repo across different systems. I also like how you can easily conditionally select configurations and scripts to load depending on environment.

Hey thanks! Glad you think so!

l00sedon Distro-Hopping and RICEing

I went from using Windows 95 as a kid to macOS as a professional software engineer. Now, and in between, I've explored a number of unique Linux distros, desktop environments, and window managers. I wanted to share my experience and my love of all things Linux.

l00sedon From QED to Neovim

At first I thought you were making a joke. Like I'm a caveman, my editor is an anvil. Now I'm curious. Will check this one out.

l00sedon From QED to Neovim

That is really rad :) I don't have any core memories with thermal printer output, but my dad did play pong with us on his commodore 64.

l00sedon From QED to Neovim

LazyVim wasn't even around when I first tried Neovim. Knowing what I know now, this would definitely be my distro of choice. The maintainer, Folke, is an incredible programmer and has made many of the most popular plugins used by the community.

l00sedon From QED to Neovim

I started from Vim and ended up migrating my dotfiles to Lua. I was really glad when I bit the bullet because I was able to keep most of my favorite functionality but start using more of the modern Lua-base plugins. Lazy.nvim is a really great package manager— super simple.

I ended up stealing some LSP config from AstroNvim or another Nvim "distro". I've never tried committing to one of those prebuilds though. I was always hacking at my own configs. I do like to skim some of the code though because they are generally implementing much better design patterns. I'm sure that the community will do a better job than me with Lua 9/10...

The obsessive dotfile management does help to give you a deep understanding of your editor though— I will say that.

l00sedon From QED to Neovim

Yes, I could have been more equitable for sure. Maybe I can do a better Emacs deep-dive someday.

I'll have to also look up SOS— thanks for mentioning! Haven't heard of Nvi, but that looks interesting. Thanks for sharing those. I'll have to make some edits to the post. I keep getting good add-ins like that. Love learning more about this stuff.
