PS. I would run Fedora on it 😂
Nice write-up about resurrecting an old MacBook with Framework stuff - results in 'FrameBook' (catchy name!). Looks very nice!

TIL: Podman, by default, copies the content of host's /etc/hosts to container /etc/hosts.
To prevent this, put the following content in ~/.config/containers/containers.conf:
[containers]
base_hosts_file = "none"
How do I separate agents from my host machine using containers? I wrote a bunch of wrappers to run them and Containerfiles to build them.
Everything is available at https://github.com/elwin013/agent-container
Why did it fail to commit? Because there was no local Git settings available to use.
The reason for that is that I run it inside a container. Call me paranoid, but I would not run an AI agent on my machine without any separation.
Yesterday I was working with an agent refactoring some code.
The agent applied the changes, praised itself for the nice code, and tried to commit. It failed to commit and then reset the changes. 😂
The next step was "Oops, I removed the changes, I will now recreate them". 😂
Screenshot showing result of Spectacle (KDE screenshot tool) that OCRed numbers correctly.
And a new version of Spectacle (screenshot tool, version 6.6.0) on KDE read those number correctly - locally. 😁
I can see that underneath they're using Tesseract to OCR.
Funny TIL - Apple Silicion chips (including those on mac books) have accelerometer built in, but not exposed. But somebody found it and wrote a script to read data from it 😄

Java CLIs in 2026:
- scaffold with PicoCLI picocli.info
- style with Tamboui tamboui.dev
- launch with JBang www.jbang.dev
- release with JReleaser jreleaser.org
Not sure what provider to suggest (using mostly openai gpts) but I'm using them with opencode for agentic work. Works pretty well.
OTOH I heard that Gemini is working pretty nice too, but not yet tested.
I just saw an announcement for TamboUI on Reddit - a terminal UI library for #Java.
It looks awesome! 🎉
Link to the page: https://tamboui.dev/
I am looking forward to seeing the video about it 🤩
And the video link with 'unboxing the package from Japan' - https://youtu.be/Zw8cdeGEJ18?t=1011
And I learned about it because I found out that arhn.eu has the "After Hours" YouTube channel, and I watched some of the older videos.
In one of them - about package from Japan - Archon shows that interesting accessory
A very nice feature of @jooq.org - implicit joins!
No need to explicitly join child tables to retrieve parent's columns. SQL that feels like ORM :)
Today I found out that #Firefox has a feature called 'containers' that allow to separate different accounts in single profile. Nice! 😎

"Six and a half ridiculous things to do with Quarkus" - @hollycummins.com
Quarkus + demo-driven + ridiculous examples? Sounds like fun - and usually there are real gems hidden in the chaos 😄

"Java Modernization: Breathe New Life into Your Codebase Without Breaking the Bank" - richard.fichtner.dev
If you're stuck on old Java/framework versions, this looks like a pragmatic take on modernization and trade-offs.

I have a Raspberry Pi somewhere in the closet. Looks like it might be time to finally do something fancy with it 😄

And here we are - Tuesday, the last day of jChampions Conf!
Just like the previous days, we've got 7 sessions today and again (coincidence? I think not!) these three look the most interesting to me 👇🧵
On Apple M3, a Linux KDE plasma desktop under Fedora Asahi Remix is now WORKING! Super excited to share this update and happy to answer any questions! Co-credits to noopwafel and Shiz. :)
Which one would you pick? 👀
"Seven Habits of Highly Effective AI Java Coding" - @vilojona.bsky.social
Being productive with AI tools is quickly becoming a day-to-day skill.
Curious to see patterns for using LLMs safely, effectively, and without accidental chaos 😄

"Test Smarter, Not Harder: Achieving Confidence in Complex Distributed Systems" - @eliasnogueira.com
Testing is hard. Distributed systems make it worse.
Hoping for practical tips on reliable, fast test pipelines that don’t collapse under complexity.

"Spec-driven Development: How AI Changed Everything (And Nothing)" - @martinelli.ch
No description on the schedule… which makes me even more curious 😅
AI + specs + reality check? Sounds like a fun combo.

Day 3 of jChampions Conf is on! 🚀
Agenda is packed again, but these 3 talks caught my eye 👇🧵
Will you watch any of these? Or did some other sessions catch your eye? 👀
🔈 (9:00pm CET) "API = Some REST and HTTP, right? RIGHT?!" by @rustam.no
Real-world API challenges? Count me in. Especially if we’ll cover how to build maintainable, scalable APIs - and when not to use REST (hello GraphQL and gRPC).
