  11. Some fedi moderation abuse shit I just saw:

    Apparently Graham Perrin, big AI pusher and FreeBSD reddit mod who jumps around various fedi accounts that aren't clearly identified as him, organized a false reporting campaign against Tomáš (Unix Surrealism) because he didn't like a post mocking the fascist dotfile cult Omarchy. Tomáš was at least temporarily suspended from infosec.exchange and probably lost all relationships on that instance.

    Graham is the kind of person who should not be welcome on fedi.

  12. NixOS Is Cool as Hell. Literally. ❄️🐧


    Declarative Linux configuration, cooler laptop temperatures, and why I'm falling in love with NixOS.

    Some Linux distributions make you productive.

    Some make you curious.

    And some make you spend three hours debugging a configuration file, question your life choices, finally fix it, and then proudly tell everyone that the experience was worth it.

    Welcome to NixOS.

    I'm running NixOS on my Acer Aspire 7, and I've discovered two reasons to love it. One is philosophical. The other is considerably more literal.

    NixOS is cool as hell, and my laptop feels cool, too.

    1. Philosophically cool: an operating system you can describe


    Most operating systems encourage you to configure things as you go.

    Install packages. Change settings. Enable services. Tweak the desktop. Repeat until everything works.

    NixOS approaches system configuration differently.

    Instead of treating your operating system as a collection of changes scattered across your machine, you can describe much of the desired system in configuration files.

    Want a particular kernel? Declare it.

    Need NVIDIA drivers? Configure them.

    Want specific applications, system services, and development tools? Define them.

    Then rebuild your system.

    sudo nixos-rebuild switch

    There is something beautiful about that approach.

    Your operating system becomes something you can inspect, version-control, and reproduce. With a well-maintained configuration, rebuilding your environment becomes much more predictable.

    You can experiment, track changes with Git, and roll back to an earlier system generation when an update goes wrong.

    It's not magic, and it doesn't capture every application setting or personal file automatically. But as a model for managing an operating system, it's genuinely elegant.

    Instead of merely using your computer, you're describing how you want it to exist.

    That is philosophically cool.

    2. Literally cool: my Acer Aspire 7


    Now for the other meaning of cool.

    My machine isn't exactly a low-powered office laptop.

    Here's the hardware:

    • CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500U
    • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Mobile
    • RAM: 16 GB
    • Storage: 512 GB NVMe SSD
    • Operating system: NixOS 26.05, codenamed Yarara
    • Display stack: Wayland

    This machine has enough power for development, Linux experimentation, and GPU workloads. It also has dedicated graphics hardware, which introduces another variable into the thermal equation.

    In my experience, my current NixOS setup has been pleasantly cool during everyday use.

    Less of that uncomfortable laptop warmth, a more pleasant working experience, and the satisfaction of having a system that feels right for my hardware.

    There is an important technical distinction here: NixOS doesn't automatically lower temperatures simply by being installed. CPU power management, GPU activity, background workloads, drivers, fan curves, and room temperature all matter.

    Still, a cool-running Linux machine is something worth appreciating, especially when you're using it for hours every day.

    And yes, I intend to measure temperatures rather than rely entirely on the highly scientific instrument known as my hands on the laptop chassis.

    3. The funny part: configuration hell is part of the attraction


    NixOS isn't always easy.

    You might want to install one package and end up learning about module options, package attributes, flakes, and configuration evaluation.

    A seemingly straightforward change can lead you down a documentation rabbit hole.

    Then something breaks.

    You investigate, adjust the configuration, rebuild, and try again.

    Eventually, it works.

    And somehow, instead of swearing off Linux forever, you find yourself wanting to configure even more of the system.

    That's the strange appeal of NixOS. It rewards curiosity, patience, and a willingness to understand what's happening underneath the desktop.

    The configuration files can be frustrating, but they also make the system feel like a project you genuinely own.

    4. Cool hardware and cool software belong together


    For me, the appeal isn't just about temperatures or declarative configuration in isolation.

    It's about having control.

    I can experiment with my Linux environment, learn how system components interact, customize my workflow, and build a setup that suits my hardware.

    When the laptop runs comfortably and the system behaves as expected, the experience gets even better.

    And when something breaks, at least I have a configuration I can inspect instead of trying to remember every change I've made over the last six months.

    That combination of control, reproducibility, and practical comfort is what makes NixOS so compelling to me.

    Final thoughts: cool in every sense that matters


    NixOS is philosophically cool because it challenges how you think about operating systems.

    It's technically cool because declarative configuration and reproducible system generations offer a powerful way to manage Linux.

    And in my experience, it's literally cool because my Acer Aspire 7 has been running pleasantly during everyday use.

    I'll still need consistent temperature measurements to establish whether my setup is actually cooler than my previous one. But the experience so far has given me another reason to keep exploring.

    NixOS isn't the easiest way to run Linux. It doesn't need to be.

    Sometimes the interesting part is learning to do things differently.

    Cool ideas. Cool configurations. Cool temperatures.

    What more could a Linux enthusiast want?

    Well, perhaps a configuration that builds successfully on the first try.

    We can dream. 🐧❄️

  17. Diversity is a must. In the past year we made a few decisions that we had to roll back again, which I could directly attribute to lack of diversity in our module.

    Blender is for everybody, and I want everybody to feel welcome to be an active part in the community. And that also means being part of module meetings, where decisions are made. For example the decision to remove a feature nobody is using -- guess what, people _were_ using it, just nobody from our group. Diversity would have helped.

  23. A Look Back at X-Men 2099 #24 (1995)

    Disclaimer: This is my original work with details sourced from reading the comic book and doing personal research. Anyone who wants to use this article, in part or in whole, needs to secure first my permission and agree to cite me as the source and author. Let it be known that any unauthorized use of this article will constrain the author to pursue the remedies under R.A. No. 8293, the Revised Penal Code, and/or all applicable legal actions under the laws of the Philippines.

    Welcome back, superhero enthusiasts, 1990s culture enthusiasts, X-Men fans and comic book collectors! Today we revisit the Marvel Comics shared universe through one of the many tales of the X-Men 2099 monthly series.

    One of the things I enjoyed the most about the X-Men 2099 series was its expansion of the 2099 universe lore as well as the portrayal of uncertainty that mutants deal with in the more desolate parts of America (far away from Spider-Man 2099 and Punisher 2099). Along the way, the futuristic X-Men themselves were really torn down by a series of unfortunate events that includes the departure of their founder and leader Xi’an (eventually Controller X of the Theater of Pain). With the team members separated by circumstances, they were given their own tales and character development periods.

    With those details laid down, here is a look back at X-Men 2099 #24, published by Marvel Comics in 1995 with a story written by John Francis Moore and drawn by Ron Lim.

    The cover.

    Early story

    The story begins in southern California where the Slaughterhouse gets shaken by the force of a gamma bomb that detonated far away. Inside the facility, Quiver and Sham struggle as they sneak carefully. They intend to escape even though the odds are against them.

    Nearby, the demonic Theater of Pain leader Brimstone Love strikes Junkpile (now with SHIELD serving the new President Doom 2099) hard and seriously damages him. With Junkpile down, the evil leader believes that Doom’s best is a failure and the Theater of Pain has nothing to fear from him. Brimstone Love issues an order to have Junkpile disposed.

    Several feet below the ground, Skullfire and Luna find themselves contained after getting captured. For Luna, Xi’an is a lost cause and she prefers to find Shakti and escape. Skullfire, however, insists on pursuing Xi’an even though their situation looks very hopeless. As the two try to escape, they end up facing the muses of the Theater of Pain’s bloodsport arenas…Euphoria, Felicity and Bliss. Luna was previously one of them…

    Quality

    Shakti represents the remaining X-Men while her former superior Xi’an has fully sided with the evil Theater of Pain as Controller X.

    Being the comic book that immediately precedes issue #25, there is a lot of creative stuff here that X-Men 2099 fans will enjoy. The Moore-Lim duo took their time in setting up the eventual restoration of the futuristic X-Men as a team while carefully telling the dangerous events they will face with the Theater of Pain standing in their way.

    Fans can find small moments that can be enjoyable or even intriguing to discover such as Luna facing off with her Theater of Pain “sisters” of long ago, the reuniting of Bloodhawk with Meanstreak and Krystalin followed by the justification behind their decision to get involved, and more. What I find very compelling to read is Shakti’s interaction with Controller X (Xi’an behind the mask obsessively serving the Theater of Pain) and the rising danger the Theater’s operation is brewing. There is richness in the dialogue between Shakti and Xi’an, and the symbolic division between them – Shakti representing the X-Men and their former leader Xi’an now serving the evil ones – is really powerful to see.

    The storytelling as a whole has a lot of depth behind it, and the build-up of the events is undeniably powerful. As the story progressed, the tension also grew stronger and you can feel the danger that awaits the futuristic X-Men.

    Conclusion

    Bloodhawk is back with Meanstreak and Krystalin.

    X-Men 2099 #24 (1995) succeeds a lot on setting-up the big conflict of issue #25 and it also sets in motion the eventual reuniting of the X-Men. Along the way, there are small details here and there that will compel you to revisit previous X-Men 2099 issues. Brimstone Love’s evil was emphasized more here and Controller X/Xi’an’s determination to serve him and make a lot of people suffer under the Theater’s operation added a lot of tension to the plot. Consider this a very important read before reading X-Men 2099 #25.

    Overall, X-Men 2099 #24 (1995) is recommended.

  29. Gadget Review: LiberNovo Omni - the USB-C powered office chair

    shkspr.mobi/blog/2026/10/gadge

    Whenever a company asks me to review their gadgets, I always ask if it is USB-C powered. If not, I'm not interested. So, welcome to the future where your chair is USC-C rechargeable!

    WHAT?!

    The LiberNovo Omni looks like a standard office chair - but has two secret features.

    First, is that it is exceedingly comfortable. Full foam cushions, lovely headrest, and a recline which almost gets you horizontal.

    Second, it is USB-C powered. There's a small battery pack which plugs in to the chair. Why? Read on!

    OK, let's start at the beginning.

    Assembly

    Flat-pack chairs like this are normally notoriously hard to assemble. The LiberNovo bucks that trend - not only does it include a how-to video, it prints the instructions on a MASSIVE piece of cardboard.

    I'm used to peering at tiny black-and-white diagrams in a flimsy paper booklet. IKEA could learn a thing or two from this.

    The screws are all labelled and a hex-driver is included. What's an even nicer touch, however, is some safety gloves:

    That's the sort of thing which doesn't cost much to the manufacturer, but is such a thoughtful gesture. There's nothing too sharp as you assemble, but who wants to cover their new chair in blood, eh?

    The parts come in two large boxes, but there aren't that many separate bits.

    Building it took about half an hour. It's easier with a friend to help - as are most things in life - but doesn't require much skill.

    Go Back To The USB-C Part Again Please?

    The battery pack is a 2200mAh unit with a USB-C port to recharge. It connects in to the chair with this slightly unusual connector:

    The internals of the chair have a USB-C cable to connect everything up.

    LOL!

    YES BUT WHY DOES A CHAIR NEED A BATTERY PACK??!?!

    On the side of the left arm-rest are three buttons.

    Two of them move the lumbar-support up and down. Depending on how your back is feeling and how far you are reclined, you can adjust the the back-support position.

    And the 3rd button?

    That's the build-in back massager, silly!

    Is that useful?

    Yes. Being able to instantly adjust the back support without having to twist around is fantastic, especially for those of us reaching a certain age.

    The "massage" feature essentially just moves the support up and down for five minutes before returning to its previous location. When sat upright, it feels great. But the real benefit is when you're laying down.

    How flat does this thing go?

    160° - not quite flat, but good enough when you're taking a break from Typing Real Hard. You don't want a photo of me sprawled out, so LiberNovo have helpfully provided some stock photos of much better looking folk.

    It is incredibly stable. At no point did it tip over or feel like it was going to deposit me on the floor. What really helps is the included foot stall.

    No Feets On Seats

    Unsurprisingly, this is not USB-C powered. A sturdy plastic footrest with a deeply padded leg rest on top.

    Again, assembly was a cinch - follow the large printed instructions and clip it together. It's rated for 40㎏, so you shouldn't stand on it but it is more than enough to rest your weary legs.

    Price

    I hope you're sitting down for this.

    Direct from LiberNovo, you can expect to pay around £700 - although there are bundles with extra batteries, the footrest, and even an eye mask which will shoot that price up. You can get the full bundle on Amazon for around £1,000.

    There's two ways to look at that price. Firstly, youch. But, alternatively, that's still cheaper than a Herman Miller Aeron. And Herm's doesn't come with a built-in lumbar massage.

    (There is also an upgraded version which has a built in fan under the seat. Personally, I suggest eating a healthier diet.)

    I can't deny that's a chunk of change. If you're anything like me, you probably spend most of your day sat down. You might as well sit on something comfortable.

    Final Thoughts

    Having the back-rest adjustable via arm-rest buttons is a genius touch. I just wish it went further. I'd love a control panel (or, dare I say it, app) which let me adjust the seat height, recline, headrest position etc. Who can be bothered with fiddly manual levers when electricity can do the work for us?

    Building this chair was a breeze - and it was delightful to get a pair of safety gloves with it.

    The chair is extraordinarily comfortable and the back massage, while not on the level of a "shiatsu" style heated massage pillow, is delightfully pleasant. Would I lie all the way back and sleep in it? Yeah! Certainly more comfortable than an economy airline seat.

    If you spend a lot of time sitting at your computer, your arse deserves something supportive. Your back deserves some love too. Yes, the USB-C power-pack is a little bit of a gimmick - but it is a hell of a good one.

    In my opinion, this is worth splashing out on.
