Picked up the Home Assistant addon project again. Notes:
- Home Assistant was evidently designed by a committee of crackheads.
- Nothing works like it logically should: not the UI, not the backend.
- Physical directories do not correspond to paths in the application: /www/community/something/somefile.js is called /hacsfiles/something/somefile.js when you're adding it as a resource.
- I fucking hate json.
- AAAAAAAAAAAAA
- stab stab stab

A tool for managing encrypted directories using the Linux kernel's fscrypt API. Instructions for the Steam Deck here.

Just learned the hard way that you really don’t want to use iCloud Drive to transfer files from one PC to another. It’s very fussy about file names and requires you to zip up folders if you want to transfer more than just individual files. Drop box on the other hand is a dream - just drag and drop whatever directories you like.

Windows laptop is so gummed up it's taking minutes to react to simple search in the directories. And I can only conclude onedrive is the issue here, possibly also #EndOf10? I have disconnected the wifi while I try to run the backup.
So far the linux mint download to USB drive from danish hosted mirror site has been the easy part! 5/n

I'm using #git subtree for the first time in a real setting. It feels nicer than git submodules, because you can just commit and everything downstream is included. You can then push the individual subtrees later and it'll pick only the commits that actually touched their directories. `git log` gets a bit crowded though with duplicate commits (from parent and subtree repos). And there's no …

The Anatomy of a macOS App
How Mac applications evolved from a multitude of resources to a bundle formed from a standard layout of directories, and how they have come to be largely self-contained in macOS 26.

FMCache: File-System Metadata Caching in Programmable Switches
Fast and scalable metadata management across multiple metadata servers is crucial for distributed file systems to handle numerous files and directories. Client-side caching of frequently accessed metadata can mitigate server loads, but incurs significant overhead and complexity in maintaining cache consistency when the number of clients increases. We propose FMCache, an in-switch file-system metadata caching framework that leverages programmable switches to serve file-system metadata requests f…
