• Arch Linux takes a pounding as DDoS attack enters week two — For now, the Arch team is working to mitigate the attack's impact, which highlights a bootstrapping issue. Tools designed to shift traffic to mirrors in the event the main infrastructure is unavailable rely on a mirror list obtained from that same main infrastructure.
• DHH on X — "Omarchy 2.0 release might have to wait a little longer. The AUR DDoS attack has picked back up, but the upside is that we're building in all sorts of resilience for the installer to deal with the assault! And meanwhile, we'll build a complete Omarchy package mirror for all.
• DHH on X — "We're pulling AUR out of the Omarchy install hotpath. It's an incredible resource, but we actually only need a handful of packages for the initial setup, and we can just host those ourselves. AUR really needs a new mirror strategy to avoid this predicament."

It also provides statistics like signal frequencies and average method call times.

• Running OpenBSD 7.5 on your laptop is really hard (not) — I couldn't use OpenBSD exclusively; there's software that I need/want which isn't available. But I do appreciate certain of OpenBSD's qualities: it's a simple, ultra-lightweight, traditional UNIX.
