Wie ist denn das mit einem Elektroauto, wir wohnen ja in der Stadt und sind daher auf öffentliche Ladestationen angewiesen?
Amsterdam, Haarlem, Hoofddorp und bei uns auf dem Dorf sehen aus wie jede beliebige andere Gegend in den Niederlanden: Fagr halt und Kabel dich an es gibt überall was und es ist immer was frei.
Was ist an Ende eine Frage des politischen Willens.

Today in InfoSec Job Security News:
I was looking into an obvious ../.. vulnerability introduced into a major web framework today, and it was committed by username Claude on GitHub. Vibe coded, basically.
So I started looking through Claude commits on GitHub, there’s over 2m of them and it’s about 5% of all open source code this month.
https://github.com/search?q=author%3Aclaude&type=commits&s=author-date&o=desc
As I looked through the code I saw the same class of vulns being introduced over, and over, again - several a minute.
Das man sich die #KI Agenten selber bubble wrappen oder in dev.container sperren muss, lässt nichts gutes hoffen. Während man bei #opencode noch diskutiert, ist claude code da schon weiter und bringt sowas mit. Ich fürchte der Großteil der Anwender lässt den Kram einfach direkt auf den Host los 🙈.

After evaluating fedora atomic desktop #silverblue on a playground/travel thinkpad, I decided to rebase to #bluefin. This feels like the future of #linux desktops. I like the combination of bootc for a stable, reproducible system and the flexibility of flatpak, distroboxes and homebrew to run your apps and tools.
Next I decided to switch to bluefin on my desktop, too. Even the #affinity setup now feels way cleaner sitting site by site in a dedicated distrobox.
inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me
for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment
@BenjaminNelan I started using https://github.com/seapear/AffinityOnLinux - maybe that’s the project you gave a try, too. I’m not using the installer right now, as I would like to keep the wine environment isolated. But there are a lot of great guides with helpful information in this repo.
#affinity on #linux is a bit more tricky. I evaluated #winapps, but still need to run Windows in the background is also something I don’t like although I’m impressed by winapps-org as a simple test environment. Currently I’m following the wine route with input from #AffinityOnLinux with some progress but still some render glitches - let’s see if this end up in practical use
Up and running:
- FreeCAD
- PrusaSlicer
- Bitwarden
- Vivaldi
- vscode
- Steam
- Heroic Launcher (Epic, GOG)
Todo:
- Affinity suite
Won’t go back to #windows11
I wrote Zig bindings to quickjs-ng with 96% API coverage (~240 exported C decls) with unit tests, examples, and doc strings on all functions in less than 6 total hours with AI assistance. I never want to hear that AI isn't faster ever again. https://github.com/mitchellh/zig-quickjs-ng
This isn't slop. I worked for those 6 hours.
I was reviewing everything it outputted, updating my AGENTS.md to course correct future work, ensuring the output was idiomatic Zig, writing my own tests on the side to verify its work (while it worked), and more. My work was split across ~40 separate Amp threads (not one mega session, which doesn't work anyways unless you're orchestrating).
I have a ton of experience writing bindings to libraries for various languages, especially Zig. I have never achieved this much coverage in so little time with such high quality (e.g. test coverage). My usual approach is to get bind just-enough of the surface area to do my actual work and move on. This time I thought I'd draw the whole owl, because it's a new world. And I'm very happy with the result.
Anyone with experience writing bindings knows that you do some small surface area, then the rest of the coverage is annoying repetition. That's why I usually stopped. Well, LLMs/agents are really, really good at annoying repetition and pattern matching. So going from 5% API coverage to 95% is... cake.
There is probably some corners that are kind of nasty still, but I've been re-reviewing every line of code manually and there is nothing major. Definitely some areas that can just use a nicer Zig interfaces over the C API, but that's about it.
I plan on writing a longer form blog showcasing my threads, but you can at least see the final AGENTS.md I produced in the linked repo.
I love the Mac but recent changes, idiotic Liquid Glass and a company that has lost it's way has made me never want to upgrade to Tahoe. So, I think 2026 is the year of Linux for me. In a few months I will be "in between" projects so this might be a good time to change. The big issue is a C++ IDE. I'll give JetBrains a good try. I hear mixed things.
This time for sure!
