Took some photos over the Christmas holidays, to try out a new film. Turns out, the film is incredibly blue. So I have to do a bit of white balance corrections on scans in post. Still, it makes for some really nice winter mood pics xD

The focus of this week’s theme are shadows and they things they hide or reveal. Anything is allowed as long as shadows are the main theme. It could be the play of light and shadows in a scenery, a weird shadow puppet play, creepy shadowy creatures, or whatever else you can think of.

LWN has had a number of articles on immutable distributions, such as Bluefin and Bazzite, in recent years. These distributions have taken a variety of approaches, including using rpm-ostree, filesystem snapshots, and bootable container (bootc) images. But those approaches, especially the latter, lead to extra complexity for a user attempting to install new software, instead of just using the existing package manager. AshOS (Any Snapshot Hierarchical OS) is an experimental AGPL-3-licensed “meta-distribution” that tried a different approach more in line with traditional package management. Although the project is no longer updated, it remains usable, and can still shed some light on a potential alternate path for users worried about adopting bootc-based approaches.
