Omarchy 3.4 is out! Massive release with 61 contributors, three new themes, tailored Tmux, new screenshot flow, new agent features (claude by default + tmux swarm!), keyboard RGB theme syncing, and a million other things. https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/rele…

Peterson's concept of The Meaningful Burden helped me see why open source is such a rewarding work. Even as we grimace from the load and the ungrateful. Don't wish for the responsibility to be lighter, strive to become stronger. https://world.hey.com/dhh/the-responsibi…

I really haven't thanked Apple enough for leading me to Linux. I mean that with zero irony and zero shade. This has been one of the top five quests of my career. And I'd never had pursued it if they hadn't turned into The Navy. Thank you, Captain Cook! 🙏

Omarchy 3.4 RC1 is ready for folks willing to help test the next release. Unified screenshot flow, tailored Tmux setup, Asus Zephyrus compatibility, keyboard backlight theme syncs, two new themes, tons of fixes. Shaping up super nice! https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/pull…

Kimi K2.5 on @opencode Zen is hilariously cheap. I bought $20 worth of tokens two weeks ago, and I still have $10.89 left! After 3M tokens! If there's a bubble in AI, it's pricing a million tokens at $25 (and beyond).

Next version of Omarchy will have a delightfully configured Tmux setup out of the box. Many terminals, including Ghostty, have panes and tabs built-in, but let me show you why I've still come to prefer Tmux.

The game is changing. It's always been changing. Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. But however the new board is set, you'll win nothing by turning bitter about whatever old advantages you've lost.

Some times AI dazzles you with spectacular feats of ingenuity, but much of the time it just clears away all the little toils that can compound to steal your day.

The kind of AI cynicism that backs someone into the corner of "if AI is so great, why isn't all software perfect yet" is secretly the most accelerant-forward optimism possible. We've known these new supreme models for ~3 months and you already demand perfection? BASED URGENCY!

Taalas is crazy. My go-to (ha!) prompt for creating a simple wiki system in 0.062s with 15,000 tok/sec?! It looks like it's cheating, but it's real. Unbelievable. https://chatjimmy.ai

Omacon is happening April 10 at the Shopify SoHo Space in New York City. Eight great speakers, 130 attendees, and a guaranteed good time with folks who love THE NEW LINUX VIBE. Tickets go on sale in 24 hours. Set your alarm! https://omacon.org

Kevin: "I just raced Claude and Kimi K2.5 against that bug that Ryan was talking about. K2.5 fixed it in 21s. Claude took just over a minute to make the plan, then about 2 minutes to execute on it. Both had the same fix, though." (K2.5 is now my main driver. Opus just backup.)

Asus seems to have killed with the new Panther Lake ExpertBook. Better screen, better keyboard, 50% lighter(!), matching battery life, and overall great performance vs M5 MacBook Pro. Huge credit to @intel for this turn around!! https://youtube.com/watch?v=Q77AzvY3FTE

The first thing I do now when setting up a new Linux box — whether server or client — is to get an agent installed. Just did a new minimal headless Arch server, and Kimi K2.5 just nailed all the little fuzzy details at an amazing speed. It's so quick served from @opencode Zen!

Hilarious how we used to earnestly discuss whether the 10x programmer was real.

The Year of Linux (on the graph).

Omarchy 3.4 will ship with a new Remove > Preinstalls option, so purists can get that barren default setup they've been asking for. Just Neovim, terminals, browser, media readers, and the defaults. Take it, heathens!

We built Upright to replace Pingdom at 37signals for monitoring all our services, and now we've open-sourced it too. Global checks, playwright smoke tests (with video recording!), detailed uptime tracking, and feeding into Prometheus + Grafana. Enjoy! https://dev.37signals.com/introducing-up…

The original plan for Fizzy was to ship the SaaS version with one sqlite database per customer. That didn't end up happening, but we built all the Rails infrastructure needed to make it possible. Mike goes through it all here: https://youtube.com/watch?v=J1I3puqWDEw

I've really come to love Tmux's programmability. Next Omarchy will have a "nic" function that starts current directory with this 3-way split: Neovim, Opencode, Terminal. Everything a programmer needs!
