That is a category, not three coincidences. It is also still a product week. “Thousands of …https://omid.dev/notes/179009348551299773/Tue, 22 Sep 2026 19:41:00 +0330https://omid.dev/notes/179009348551299773/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 …https://omid.dev/notes/179008801845929901/Tue, 22 Sep 2026 18:10:00 +0330https://omid.dev/notes/179008801845929901/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. The …https://omid.dev/notes/179003000101553198/Tue, 22 Sep 2026 02:04:00 +0330https://omid.dev/notes/179003000101553198/Chat moves an idea quickly, but it is not where I trust it to live. Git-tracked Markdown is the durable layer; Jupyter is where an idea becomes executable; Obsidian is an optional way to browse the same files. The important part is not choosing one surface — it is keeping the …https://omid.dev/notes/178872844834633445/Mon, 07 Sep 2026 00:26:00 +0330https://omid.dev/notes/178872844834633445/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. The Oh My Zsh git plugin already has aliases for this, but the README only dumps the …https://omid.dev/notes/178818221780902383/Mon, 31 Aug 2026 16:50:00 +0330https://omid.dev/notes/178818221780902383/You may run pacman -Syu every day, but when did you last refresh every Node major you keep in nvm? I added update-nvm.sh for that. It updates each installed major to the latest patch, refreshes global npm packages, upgrades npm via --latest-npm, and runs corepack enable. If a …https://omid.dev/notes/178791816208184959/Fri, 28 Aug 2026 15:25:46 +0330https://omid.dev/notes/178791816208184959/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. What actually changes is a short list. The ones I am …https://omid.dev/notes/178732340829459207/Fri, 21 Aug 2026 18:11:14 +0330https://omid.dev/notes/178732340829459207/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.

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.https://omid.dev/notes/178458185134126036/Tue, 21 Jul 2026 00:40:41 +0330https://omid.dev/notes/178458185134126036/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, …https://omid.dev/notes/178682418525624388/Fri, 17 Jul 2026 23:35:00 +0330https://omid.dev/notes/178682418525624388/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. The 23.1 migrations will …https://omid.dev/notes/178389171074684451/Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:58:30 +0330https://omid.dev/notes/178389171074684451/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. I felt that old number. Swap thrashing, fans spinning up for no good …https://omid.dev/notes/178301047504398319/Thu, 02 Jul 2026 12:00:00 +0330https://omid.dev/notes/178301047504398319/I wrote a three-part Jupyter series and still didn’t really get it until someone reframed it as discovery vs. execution — not “another IDE you use alongside VS Code,” but the step before VS Code when you don’t know what the code should be yet. Updated Part …https://omid.dev/notes/178285418758283285/Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:46:15 +0330https://omid.dev/notes/178285418758283285/Fresh Kubuntu install, a handful of common apps — and snapd alone is already ~6 GB. That’s the part that gets me: Ubuntu inside Ubuntu, just to run software that could be installed and run like any normal package. The disk space isn’t the real complaint. It’s …https://omid.dev/notes/178272765881515454/Mon, 29 Jun 2026 13:37:14 +0330https://omid.dev/notes/178272765881515454/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.
