Recently I was reviewing some shell script a colleague had written: if grep -e '@[^@]\+@' "$DIR/install.sh" ; then I thought the \ before the + was a mistake, and also pointed out that if + was to be used we’d probably need to pass -E for extended regular…

Over the past few months I’ve been working on a Linux distribution derived from Chimera Linux, and it’s now available for download.

MOREFINE M700S Mini PC Ever the fan of an underdog, I recently acquired a new mini-PC with a Loongson 3A6000 CPU.

A summary of my personal tech stack as we start 2026.

View of sugar cane fields from where I was working. 💡 What Is Chimera Linux?

Since declaring in my last post that “it was time to return to slightly less frivolous projects for a bit” I instead spent the last week-and-change attempting to make Chimera Linux run on Pentium class 32-bit x86 hardware.

Over the last week I’ve had a lot of fun building a little retro-themed website that I’m hosting at home.

Stylus is an open-source browser extension for managing and applying “user styles”—custom snippets of CSS—to websites.

Ghostty by Mitchell Hashimoto is the new hotness in the terminal emulator world.

In my quest to make linkedlist.org—my link blog—faster, I set up multiple deployments around the world.

Ubuntu running on Yoga Slim 7x Over the course of the last few months some fine folks in the Linux community have been plugging away implementing support for Qualcomm Snapdragon X based ARM laptops.

Almost two years ago, in January 2023 I migrated my Fediverse presence from a self-hosted Pleroma instance to a single user Mastodon instance hosted by masto.host.

I’ve started a new tech focused link blog over at linkedlist.org.

JSON Feed is a specification for representing an RSS-style feed in JSON.

I have set up a mirror of repo.chimeralinux.org on a server in Australia (Brisbane).

My latest project, Feedlynx, is a self-hosted tool that allows you to collect links in an RSS feed1.

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x Snapdragon For the last two weeks I’ve been testing out my new laptop, a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x (14", Gen 9) Snapdragon.

I received a reply to my Tech Stack 2024 post asking: Why Chimera Linux?

Apparently people are excited about funding independent browser efforts this week.

Inspired by Alex Chan’s Tools of the trade post I thought I’d note down my current tech stack and then revisit it in a few years to see how things evolve.

This post describes how I exported my 500+ YouTube subscriptions to an OPML file so that I could import them into my RSS reader.

Today I compiled my titlecase Rust crate to Web Assembly and wrapped a web-page around it so that it can be used online.

I needed three low capacity micro SD cards for an upcoming project.

I took a few hours this weekend to experiment with building a hybrid native app with Gleam and Tauri.

I use Chimera Linux as the primary OS on my laptop (as opposed to my desktop, which is still running Arch Linux for now).

I tried creating an OpenBSD 7.3 virtual machine on my new computer (Arch Linux host) and the installer kept crashing with the error: Screenshot of the installer crash. dc_atapi_start: not ready, st = 50 fatal protection fault in supervisor mode trap type 4

I decided I wanted to add some more local folks into my YouTube subscriptions.

Instead of using my funemployment to build useful things I have continued to build things for old versions of Mac OS.

After my post on trying to run Rust on Classic Mac OS post I continued trying to find a modern language that I can use to build classic Mac OS software.

I recently acquired a Power Macintosh 9500/150 and after cleaning it up and building a BlueSCSI to replace the failed hard drive it’s now in a semi-operational state.

On my main machine I use an excellent cross-platform tool called Docuum that automatically cleans up unused docker images.

Inspired by Rach Smith’s post on using userstyles to hide YouTube shorts I came up with some CSS to hide those annoying Sign in with Google pop-ups.

While reviewing some Rust code that did something like this: let a = n / d; let b = n % d; I lamented the lack of a divmod method in Rust (that would return both the quotient and remainder).

The garage door monitor that I built earlier in the year has by all accounts been running perfectly since I installed it.

The Read Rust Twitter account crossed over 10K followers in the last few days.

Sometimes I come across a web page that I’d like to revisit when there’s new content.

I’ve accidentally left our garage door open a few times.

After verifying with friends that eBook readers do a decent job of rendering technical content I purchased a Kobo Libra 2 this week.

Three years ago I published, Rebuilding My Personal Infrastructure With Alpine Linux and Docker, in which I described how I was hosting various applications using an Alpine Linux host and Docker on a virtual machine at Vultr.

I’m working on a web-based side project in my spare time.

A few weeks ago I got up at 2:30am and attended virtual RustConf 2021.

On 24 August I received an email from Vultr saying that my server had used 78% of its 3Tb bandwidth allocation for the month.

Near the conclusion of my #100binaries Twitter series I started working on the blog post that contained all the tweets.

This is page two of my #100binaries list containing binaries 51–100.

I recently completed a #100binaries series on Twitter wherein I shared one open-source Rust tool or application each day, for one hundred days (Jul—Nov 2020).

After nearly 3 years and more than 3200 posts I’m going to slow down the posting frequency on Read Rust.

I have my system configured1 to use JoyPixels for emoji, which I consider vastly more attractive than Noto Color Emoji.

This week I discovered some details of digital display technology that I was previously unaware of: pixel formats.

I don’t have time to build all the things I’d like to build, so I’m offering bounties on the following work.
