I am using VPS. I thought about self hosting locally but decided against. I am running the forgejo site and butterbian.org and justasguylinux.com from the new vps,

2026-07-27 20:03:54 UTC

I have left Codeberg's hosting — not Codeberg. I'm staying a contributing
member, and no, this isn't about the recent vote.
Honest reason: reliability. Slowdowns and outages are too common, and
your apt updates — and every ISO I ship — depend on my URLs answering.
Everything now runs on Butterforge, my self-hosted forge:
https://justaguy.dev
Nothing breaks: every Codeberg repo is an auto-synced mirror.
Switching apt is one line, whenever or never:
https://justaguy.dev/butterrepo
Spread the source.

Matt and I chatting about something random. Forgot to look at my notes from last week. This bodes well.

Someone in chat asked if I was going to add COSMIC to butterknife.
It's not in stable — stable never gets new packages after release. So the sensible answer would have been "no."
My time is far too precious to devote to more scripting 😉. Plus, I need to sleep occasionally.
But no, I'm an idiot and my time is just not that valuable. So I created the metapackage and built a community APT repo for COSMIC on trixie.

Not in butterknife yet.

New on JustAGuy Linux: oxwm-setup 🧈
A dwm-like X11 WM you configure in ONE Lua file with instant hot-reload — edit config.lua, hit Mod+Shift+R, done. No recompile, no logging out.
Built by @tony-btw in zig. I just spread the house butter on top: dwm-style keybinds, a clean bar, and a 6-theme switcher.
Ships as a .deb via butterrepo, so install is just `apt install oxwm`.

New Butterbian ISOs are up 🧈 — XFCE 0.3.2 and butterknife 0.2.7.
Debian 13, BTRFS + Timeshift + grub-btrfs, configured from day one.
What's new:
• XFCE now installs on legacy BIOS, not just UEFI
• GRUB snapshot menu refreshes after every apt change, not just kernel updates
Download: https://get.butterbian.org
Release notes:
XFCE → https://codeberg.org/justaguylinux/Butterbian-XFCE/releases
butterknife → https://codeberg.org/justaguylinux/butterknife/releases

New ISOs out — Butterbian XFCE 0.3.0 and butterknife 0.2.0, both built on Debian 13.5.
What's new:
- Snapshot stack tidied up: Timeshift handles retention, unused @snapshots subvolume gone
- Firefox hardened out of the box on XFCE (strict tracking protection, HTTPS-Only, uBlock Origin bundled)
BTRFS + Timeshift + grub-btrfs as always — roll back from GRUB if an update breaks something.

butterknife 0.1.6 out today. Fixes a real bug: the installer was placing
system dirs (/, /etc, /usr) with the wrong ownership on the target — user
instead of root. Breaks nix-daemon and similar permission checks.
New installs from the 0.1.6 ISO are clean. Existing users have a short
recovery script in the release notes.

Thanks to @Ddubs for finding it.

Directly from HR 8250, Sec. 2(a)(1):
"An operating system provider... shall: (1) Require any user of the operating system to provide the date of birth of the user in order to— (A) set up an account on the operating system; and (B) use the operating system."
Every user. Every time. Not parental controls — a federally mandated gate on OS use. Full text: congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/8250/text

The bill's own words:
"Require any user of the operating system to provide the date of birth of the user in order to... use the operating system."
— HR 8250, Sec. 2(a)(1)(B)
Parental controls are optional and local. This bill bars anyone from using an OS without surrendering a date of birth.

I am a FOSS Advocate.
Federal Law alert.
HR 8250 is worth your attention.
It forces every OS to check your age and hand it to every app you open.
Meta spent an estimated $2B lobbying for laws like this. When a kid sneaks onto Instagram, it's your OS's fault — not Meta's.
Linux distros are already pulling out of US states. An open-source calculator is geo-blocking Colorado.
Facebook walked into Congress with a checkbook. Call your rep and oppose HR 8250.

Just a quick heads up in the Debian Community, Debian 13: 13.4 release is tomorrow. Not sure why I am enthusiastically posting about bug fixes and security updates, but I appreciate the effort that goes into the project.

2026-03-11 22:00:22 UTC

Butterrepo updated today with new .deb packages for Debian trixie:
- Zen Browser 1.19.2b
- Ghostty 1.3.0
- Helium Browser 0.10.2.1

Sorry to be that guy (just a guy), but:
Codeberg has been under a DDoS attack for hours. I've been supporting, praising and recommending Codeberg for a while now, and situations like this remind me why - a small team running on community donations, fighting to keep FOSS infrastructure alive.
If you rely on Codeberg, consider donating. I will be adding to my donation tonight.

Wow! This is unfortunate. This DDOS attack and a community run service means you have to be patient.

I’ve never really done community building before.
I’ve mostly just hung around Matt’s The Linux Cast Discord.
But I decided to build something of my own.

Thanks for the shout. Appreciate you.

I was maintaining separate repos for Helium and Zen browsers. When Neovim v0.11.6 came out today,
I almost created a third one before realizing: why not just consolidate everything into one repo?
butterrepo now handles updates for all three, with room to add more as needed.
