I set out last week to replace my #passwordmanager #gopass. My requirements: keys live on my #yubikey, unlocking one secret doesn't expose the whole vault, native #Wayland UX, per secret fingerprint/pin policy.

Survey: severely lacking. I was not looking for a project, but the #linux desktop really needs this.

To stay motivated I raised the bar: native #cosmic and #android too, learning #slint on the way. Not a webview. Secrets done right: constant-time and zeroized.

Now we're cooking on gas!

I noticed that #cosmic lets you control multiple audio channels now. I was playing with it and saw you can even direct the streams to different outputs. I don't think I have ever tried to look into that when I was a Windows or macOS user. I am not sure what I need the feature for personally, but I do find it neat.

Stworzylem sobie w ramach testow obraz #Bazzite wraz z managerem okien #Cosmic i... wlasnie go usuwam. To jednak nadal nie jest tak dopracowane i nie ma tego, czego bym potrzebowal od managera okien, moze za pol roku.
Ale dobrze, ze na #Linux.ie mozna w miare bezbolesnie przeprowadzac takie eksperymenty. ;)

We just love stuff like this!💥😊 Astronomers have discovered an entirely new class of #cosmic object: a “black hole star”! Dubbed MoM‑BH*‑1, the object looks like a star but shines ~100 billion times brighter & is wrapped in a solar‑system‑sized cloud of hydrogen - & may be the first of many! #JWST https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/aug/12/astronomy-discovery-new-cosmic-object-black-hole-star

Okay, anyone else looking to try out the very promising looking #AerynOS: the installer is fast and simple, but it's also not for beginners *or* people obsessed with controlling every step of the process.

You will have to use gParted/fdisk to set up your partitions, including a 256mb+ efi, 4gb+ boot, and then your main partition, which they recommend should be xfs; f2fs and ext4 are other options, but they don't work as well with the new fun moss tooling.

Anyway, it comes with #Gnome, #Plasma (in plm or sddm flavor), or #Cosmic for desktop choices, and also no WM/DE or even headless install.

The Owlbear is Going Gnome.

Currently trying out the Cosmic desktop interface and I must say its pretty awesome so far. Doesn't get in your way, tiling works really well, and there's customization where you want it.

I miss the lightweight simplicity of LXDE, but the X.Org vs experimental Wayland debacle is just too much for me right now...

If I need to stick with Gnome, I'll at least try out Cosmic for a while
