Work has all of my extra cycles currently, as we're making some exciting changes. I am making time to watch your feeds, and I'm tell you, light itself cannot keep up with the Omarchy community! As I said before, I am cutting back on projects, massively. However, my focus on Omarchy and this community is now a staple for me. That said, it might sounds a bit silly...that I'm launching ANOTHER NEW PROJECT! This project is for me and my enjoyment, and for my love of @roadtovostok! Everyone has been going crazy for Jev, but I did not have access. I love the idea of fast decision engines, so I was already excited to jump on the bandwagon. Because I did not have access, I leaned on prior art from my own repos that had components designed to address similar needs. My first software project, ai-plays-as-ai-making-paperclips, and my first game repo (if you can even call it one), Universal-AI. Well in the middle of the sparse time I could put into this new project, which I'm calling JevJev, I got access! What was especially interesting to me is that getting JevJev to do anything in RTV took more work than the on-box decision engine I started with. However, JevJev is kinda rocking and rolling now! I'll be starting an AFK live stream here in a bit on my YT or X, but I'm on my lunch break from work so it's whatever gives me the least hassle. I won't be around for the stream, but I thought others might enjoy see Jev in action, becoming thee Ironman as JevJev, on the Road to Vostok!

I'll leave this running as long as I can while I'm working: nitter.net/i/broadcasts/1OGwbnVRg…

Built a tiny Omarchy plugin last night. Copy anything. Hit SUPER + SHIFT + Q. Scan the QR code with your phone. That’s it. No pairing. No account. No cloud. No setup. Omarchy Beam turns your clipboard into an instant QR code, right from the desktop. Sometimes the best tools do one thing really well. Open source. ⚡ github.com/TouchWorkStation/… #Omarchy #Linux #OpenSource #Hyprland

If you use Infomarchy, please go show it some love on the plugin site! Congratulations, @NixFred, and thank you for putting out such awesome code! A special thank you for turning it into an amazing community project! That's a layer on top of the code that adds effort and complexity for the maintainer, and I appreciate all the extra time you have given to that aspect. It means a great deal to me personally, and I cannot thank you enough!

The best thing I’ve done for AI-assisted coding isn’t a better prompt, although that has helped. It’s making the repo explain itself. Good tests. Clear docs. Small commits. Explicit constraints. All boring engineering habits. Turns out making a codebase easier for an agent to understand also makes it easier for me to understand.

@CompleteSkeptic Jev making my local routing come alive. it routes based on need which has always been a slow blocker for me and the grading on output success is second to none. llama switching to vllm etc unreal. The best next local lanes are already on disk: - Ornith 1.5 35B A3B Abliterated on the M3, for creative coding and less constrained drafting. - Qwen3.6 35B A3B MLX on the M3, for a faster Apple Silicon comparison lane. - Qwen3.8 27B MLX on the M3, to compare MLX and llama.cpp using the same model class. - DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 14B on GX10-002, through vLLM port 8113 after Minimax H3 drains. - Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B MoE on GX10-002, the fastest measured local text lane at about 103 tok/s when media is not occupying the GPU. - Nemotron Nano VL 8B on GX10-001 for vision triage. - GLM 4.7 Flash and Qwen3.6 27B FP8 on GX10-001 as scheduled vLLM comparison lanes.

The Second Omarchy ATL Users Group was a hug success! oatlug.org/meetings/j1zuzuus Two weeks after the first one, OATLUG came back to Pour Taproom on the Beltline. Six people, a row of laptops along the bar, Omarchy on every screen, and ninety minutes in which nobody discussed Linux in the abstract. It opened with a card already left at the bar: say Omarchy without mangling it.; Most of the night was demos, and most of the demos were plugins somebody in the room had written. Herdr, with sessions named after the project directory they live in, so you stop hunting for the right terminal — Alt and an arrow key moves between them, and that is the whole keymap anybody needs. Pulse, which began as separate CPU, disk and RAM monitors until somebody at the first meetup said put them in one; it now surfaces whichever component is currently your weakest link, and you drill in from there. Infomarchy, which is not a window at all — it paints onto the desktop itself, lists the agents actually running, and clicking one drops you into its session. Burn Bar for token spend across Claude, Codex, Grok and local. A Tailscale monitor for every server, and the pitch that goes with it: free up to a hundred devices, and your workflow stops caring which house you are sitting in. A Sonos plugin that puts the speakers in the bar. Blip, which Tailscales home to a Mac Mini so iMessage works on Linux — everything except tapbacks. A Tesla plugin that locks the car, starts the climate and puts it on a map; the developer token is free, and the fleet tier is a thousand a month, which nobody needed. PR Hunter, which lists every project, flags the ones asking for help with their open-issue counts, and drops you into the herdr session for the one you pick. And btop in a Quake-style dropdown, which started an argument about whether you could point the same pattern at a business dashboard instead of a CPU. The best stretch was not a demo. Somebody wanted a hotkey Omarchy does not ship, and the answer was: Omarchy will not rewrite your keybinds, so go tell your agent. They did it at the table — asked for SUPER+D to show the desktop, the agent found the binding, wrote it, and it worked before the next round arrived. The same argument covered a misplaced function key, caps lock remapped to control, and one person who swapped Alt and Super outright because he likes his thumb on that key. Installing software went the same way: let the agent do it, because there is always one more thing. When SUPER+I failed to hide Infomarchy mid-demo, the fix was the same sentence — sic an agent on it — and it got fixed at the bar. That is the thesis somebody put into words later: the people most empowered by agents right now are not the best programmers. They are the ones with deep domain knowledge who could never quite write the code. An infrastructure person knows exactly what good looks like and has just been handed the ability to build it. The evidence kept arriving all night. Smart shades whose Bluetooth protocol got reverse-engineered agent walks you through an Android emulator, pulls the keys, lands it in Home Assistant. A Pokémon fan game rebuilt on an engine whose authors posted one last release in 2020 and walked away when Nintendo asked them to, now running with agent-drawn pixel art and every Pokémon replaced by the owner’s dogs. A sixty-page S-Corp return nobody could read, handed over with “read a year of my email and tell me what does not line up” it came back with three things worth taking to the accountant. And the story of the night: arguing with a colleague at ten at night over whether a confirmation number counts as PII, conceding when he made the better argument, redacting the post — and finding out afterwards that the colleague had just switched on a PII scanner bot. “I was arguing with a bot at ten o’clock at night. And it was so natural.” Somebody shipped their first plugin, and the reason is perfect these screens and keyboards are fingerprint magnets, so it freezes the keyboard and the display long enough to wipe the machine down. A member’s game got played in the room and got the feedback you only get in person: the challenge flashes and is gone before you have read it. It teaches keyboard combinations by spaced repetition, Anki-style, with courses that get harder, badges at the end, and a course that drills only the ones you keep missing. Then the hardware argument, which is what six Linux people at a bar are for. The whole Dell lineup was on the bar 13, 14 and 15. OLED against IPS. Framework’s ethos against Framework’s execution and the RAM supply holding up its shipping. ThinkPad keyboards and the people loyal to them. Apple silicon: M1 and M2 disappointing for this, M3 and M4 looking better, and a VM if you only want to try Omarchy without committing a machine. Backups too about ten dollars a month to Backblaze for every server, with the warning that they charge you on the way out, not on the way in. Pizza arrived mid-demo (thx @augman!) Then everyone turned their screens to the Omarchy logo and took the photo! There will be a third one. Bring a laptop. @dhh... @augman is showing real leadership of OATLUG. In the room: @augman, @nixfred, @IshanShah, @jttraino, @JeremyJ26571080, @navindra404 oatlug.org/meetings/j1zuzuus

All of you awesome people, you're doing awesome stuff, and I love it! I have not been able to keep up with posts the last few days, but I am keeping track of where I left off. If you're posting great stuff and I'm following you, I've either bookmarked it to return to, or I haven't caught-up that far yet.

If anyone has been looking at my work and liking what I do, please give @OnTheLiftAI a moment of your time! I don't think I've ever jived with a tech post more than this one! I have had a busy couple of days with personal and work duties, but hopefully later tonight I'll have a clean desk; as soon as I do, I'm headed straight to this elite calcium mech pilot's repo!

New version, and as usual, the repo has more than the end result. It's kinda like a workshop at this point. PRs are open, forks and clones are welcome! I did have to speed up the animations again, and I'm going to update my draft PR related to screensaver options/features. What did I learn? I need to stay away from art related projects. They take more time than I have to give, and my interests are in other areas, so that's where my personal focus belongs.

The community spoke. I listened. 👀 Antigravity Agents are coming to TouchWorkstation. The goal? 📱 Open your phone 🖥️ Connect to your workstation 🤖 Hand work to an agent 🚀 Keep moving Your machine. Your projects. Your agents. Still in development touchworkstation.com

I learned something valuable tonight. It’s ok to break something. Fix it and move on. Full native feeling Linux will be an app on your phone soon! Touchworkstation.com

It’s so simple that it is beautiful. @dhh

Anyone else been so passionate about something and when it finally works, you are not sure what to do next?

Omarchy on an old dell server “headless”using touchworkstation to use the operating system from my phone. It’s a match made in heaven. Thank you @dhh for the OS and inspiring me to make it mobile.
