Data Science
There seems to be mixed reactions to this suggestion. I don’t know enough to understand why.
I think they’re using it strictly in Tiling mode and are using directional switching. I generally work with only one window visible so I’m not sure how much I’m going to like COSMIC where that workflow seems not to be the primary focus. But it is only in alpha and I’m not actually going to give it a real try until it becomes the default in Pop!_OS. I Hope it’s not too big an adjustment for me.
I was just guessing based on the SwapWindow name. That you copied definition doesn’t help me understand what it’s supposed to do.
I’m surprised that [Super] + [Tab]
and [Alt] + [Tab]
aren’t exactly what you’re looking for because System(WindowSwitcher)
seems like the name of something that would do exactly what you’re after.
I haven’t installed COSMIC, so I can’t test it all out myself right now. But it feels like something that should exist as you described.

Nice article.
why bother? Why I self host
Most of this article is not purely about that question, but I dislike clickbait, so I’ll actually answer the question from the title: Two reasons.
First of all, I like to be independent - or at least, as much as I can. Same reason we have backup power, why I know how to bake bread, preserve food, and generally LARP as a grandmother desperate to feed her 12 grandchildren until they are no longer capable of self propelled movement. It makes me reasonably independent of whatever evil scheme your local $MEGA_CORP is up to these days (hint: it’s probably a subscription).
It’s basically the Linux and Firefox argument - competition is good, and freedom is too.
If that’s too abstract for you, and what this article is really about, is the fact that it teaches you a lot and that is a truth I hold to be self-evident: Learning things is good & useful.
Turns out, forcing yourself to either do something you don’t do every day, or to get better at something you do occasionally, or to simply learn something that sounds fun makes you better at it. Wild concept, I know.

Things that broke in the last 6 months
Things I learned (or recalled) in the last 6 months
- You can self host VS Code
- UPS batteries die silently and quicker than you think
- Redundant DNS is good DNS
- Raspberry PIs run ARN, Proxmox does not
- zfs + Proxmox eat memmory and will OOM kill your VMS
- The mystery of random crashes (Is it hardware? It’s always hardware.)
- SNMP(v3) is still cool
- Don’t trust your VPS vendor
- Gotta go fast
- CIFS is still not fast
- Blob storage, blob fish, and file systems: It’s all “meh”
- CrowdSec
Conclusion
He made up hypothetical scenarios that nobody asked about, and then denigrated Rust by attacking the scenarios he came up with.
This seems to be the textbook description of a strawman argument.
It’s also a microkernel and intentional not POSIX compliant (but it’s close to compliant). I like the project, but it’s very experimental on purpose, so we should set our expectations accordingly. I’d love to see it become a success, but it may not be or it may only be successful in a smaller niche than the current Linux ecosystem.
That said, it seems very open to new contributors. I hope more people can help it along.
I’m going to need more than a week to process this
What self-hosted services did you set up passkeys on? How did setting it up go?
Is there a passkey setup that’s easy to self host? I think passkeys with a backup would be best.
I’m expecting that everything that the statistical models reveal or make convincing results about which benefit the owners of the models will be exploited. Anything that threatens power or the model owners will be largely ignored and dismissed.
The few laws that govern this type of activity will be strictly adhered to, right?
You should be aware that this is classified and marketed as a microcontroller, so it’s just a bootloader to some code with no OS or a RTOS.
Something like the RPi Zero is a SBC that’s relatively close in size.
The two rooms linked above are mirrored, so you can use either XMPP or Matrix, from any client you prefer, on pretty much any platform under the sun!
There’s no XMPP link in the README above the quoted statement.
Awesome! Best of luck to the new team!
My interpretation:
It means unstable (expect the beta version to be different than the alpha version in possibly fundamental and significant ways), and possibly buggy (let them know what problems you run into). If you’re okay with that, have at it!
