Notes

Short thoughts and quick notes — not full blog posts.

In about a week, Cursor Projects, the OpenAI Agents API, and Claude Code Projects all shipped the same shape: a coordinator, parallel workers, shared memory, durable cloud sessions. That is a category, not three coincidences.

Ubuntu 26.10 “Stonking Stingray” hit Beta Freeze (Sep 21). Beta images are aimed at Sep 24; final is still Oct 15. The interim release is doing the boring-but-load-bearing work toward 28.04: dbus-broker replaces dbus-daemon for system and session buses, Rust uutils coreutils finishes the cp/mv/rm holdouts, and the kernel target stepped up to 7.3.

InfoQ covers what Chrome/Edge 150 are shipping: declarative out-of-order HTML streaming — placeholders first, later chunks patch them in, without a framework-owned DOM move script. Safari and Firefox have signaled interest; the JS streaming DOM APIs are still catching up.

After a few merged pull requests, local clones fill up with feature branches that no longer exist on origin. Git still has the local refs; the remote-tracking branch is what disappeared.

You may run pacman -Syu every day, but when did you last refresh every Node major you keep in nvm?

pnpm 12 is stable: a Rust rewrite that is deliberately not a migration. Commands, flags, settings, and the lockfile format from v11 carry over. latest on npm still points at 11 — install 12 with pnpm self-update next-12.

Still no follow-up on aur-general ten days after aurweb v6.5.0 restored AUR pushes and package adoption. Registration remains closed, while adoption requests require Package Maintainer approval and expire after 14 days if unanswered.

Before chasing fancy shell prompts, make sure your session survives a disconnect. A resilient terminal matters far more than another zsh customization.

Tools like GNU screen, tmux, and Zellij keep long-running remote work alive when your SSH connection drops.

I’ve always appreciated one small detail in Manjaro: matray. As a long-time user, it feels like the distro respects my time by providing a simple tray app backed by a dedicated news source (https://manjaro.news/). Important announcements reach users through one official, consistent channel instead of expecting everyone to monitor forums, blogs, or social media.

Nx 23.1 shipped on July 15 with TypeScript 6 support — five days after I wrote about TypeScript 7. That timing is the story. The native compiler is the headline; the monorepo still has to sit on TypeScript 6 until the rest of the toolchain catches up.

Nx 23 is out, and buried in the performance section is the line that made me nod hardest: the daemon’s memory footprint on their own repo dropped from around 1.5GB to roughly 200MB — about a 7× reduction.

Fresh Kubuntu install, a handful of common apps — and snapd alone is already ~6 GB.

If you install Mattermost on Manjaro via pacman/AUR — not Snap; the Snap build does not hit this — do not enable “Start app on login” in Mattermost’s own settings.

Dear NX, are you going to update to Angular 22? I’m waiting!

You may do apt dist-upgrade or yay or pacman -Syu everyday, but do you nvm install --reinstall-packages-from=current 'lts/*' too?

I now use update-nvm instead — see the note on update-nvm for install steps and usage.

Who made this mega commit? I should fire him!
