Funny I started with switching my Debian/Ubuntu servers to Fedora coreos first, then that got me installing Bazzite on my gaming PC, and now I have some variant of Fedora atomic on all my machines.

I'm working on a coding agent with built in sandboxing to restrict network access or filesystem access of commands run. It also has a few other interesting features I haven't seen in other agents and I'm currently focusing on polishing the UX across its cli, tui, and web ui. It's not quite ready for use yet and I've only recently begun dogfooding it. https://github.com/agent6-dev/agent6/

I also recently resumed working on picosnitch, a per executable network monitor for Linux. I rewrote the UI, ported the core from BCC to BPF CO-RE, and used AI to benchmark the completeness and accuracy of it. I let AI decide the tests entirely on it's own to hopefully eliminate any of my bias and published the results here [1]. It identified one gap I'll be fixing in the next release, and is currently the most complete and accurate bandwidth monitor on Linux.

Same here, I suspect the majority of people with average to small hands could never really one hand phones (with a good enough screen size) in the first place so it makes less difference to them.

> Otherwise, many of the best games are VR-additional that can be played flat as well, like Elite: Dangerous, DCS, or the racing games.

Also Skyrim VR was breathtaking, especially with mods to improve the scenery and clunky menus.

I use python more often than tools like awk, which I often forget the syntax of, so I made pyxargs to quickly run python code in the shell for small tasks like this

  sp current | pyxr -0 -g "(Artist)\s+(.+)\n(Title)\s+(.+)" -p "{3} by {1}"

Great article, I've always been impressed by this too. It's neat that it sounds like even amateurs with nothing but a regular DSLR can contribute to this as well.

> By precisely timing the duration of the occultation from many sites simultaneously, they can refine their knowledge of the size and shape of the asteroid.

> Betelgeuse is the 10th brightest star in our skies (+0.5 magnitude), so observers need only modest equipment to participate.

> the easiest way to capture the event is to use a simple DSLR camera on a tripod ... video frames must have a short (few-millisecond) exposure time ... Millisecond accuracy timing is crucial ... [an app] for timestamping occultation observations is called Occult Flash Tag (Android) or AstroFlashTimer (iPhone)
