It gives you the stability of the Debian distro, the ease of use of the Cinnamon desktop, and the power of AI, containers, and virtualization.â BunsenLabs: âBunsenLabs Linux Carbon is a distribution offering a light-weight and easily customizable Openbox desktop. The project is a community continuation of CrunchBang Linux. The current release is derived from Debian 13 âTrixieâ.â I remember running CrunchBang Linux back in college on my ASUS Eee PC, so seeing this as continuation of that, i wanted to look into it. ITâs FOSS: 7 Features I Like in Ptyxis (The New Default Ubuntu Terminal) I dug old my old Surface Go to play with & saw i still had it running a very old version of Xubuntu. While i was first looking into upgrading it to the most recent Ubuntu-flavor release (before i thought of CrunchBang \ BunsenLabs), I was looking a bit into the new Ubuntu release & came across the posts about Ptyxis & wanted to take a look. Ubunlog: This is Ptyxis: the new GNOME terminal for modern Linux environments that will run Ubuntu 25.10. Rockford Lhotka: Running Linux on My Surface Go Since itâs been a while since i set anything up with the Surface Go, I just wanted to double check documentation because i believe there was a custom kernel i needed to run for everything to be working properly. Even with this from 2025, will still be more up-to-date than what i might have saved. https://nerds.xyz/2026/05/linux-lite-8-rc1/ Miscellaneous ITâs FOSS: Good News!

Time to take a look. GitHub: ckolos / humblebundle-downloader: âDownload your Humble Bundle Libraryâ I had recently purchased another book pack off of Humble Bundle & was trying to use the tool to mass download them all versus having to go one-by-one, but ran into a few issues. First⊠had to remind myself about Python virtual environments (Python venv: How To Create, Activate, Deactivate, And Delete). - python3 -m venv venv - source venv/bin/activate - And specifically for the Humble Bundle downloader: pip install -e With Ubuntu 26.04 adding a âProjectsâ folder, of course this was the one âserverâ where i had moved my âDevelopmentâ folder into âProjectsâ, just because. That caused a problem because the virtual environment was hardcoded to use the path that included âDevelopmentâ. After figuring that part out, received an error when trying to use the tool. I believe itâs that my session cookie is expired, so just have to give it another try later. selh.st: Self-Host Weekly (1 May 2026), by Ethan Sholly. Copy Fail: I have this listed above as well, but since itâs pretty significant, it canât hurt to have it added a second time. NIST: CVE-2026-31431 GitHub: grimmory-tools / grimmory/: docs(governance): define the projectâs governance structure and decision-making framework#1000 Really just making note for myself to check on my container & see if i loaded all my books or was still in the middle of anything. I thought the post would be an interesting read as well. GitHub: Hound-Media-Server / hound: âAll-in-one Media ServerâFind, watch, track, and manage your mediaâ Interesting, but since it uses P2P sources, i donât want to have to be concerned with copyright violations. As much as i want to get off Plex to Jellyfin, the former at least has the feature of showing you where something is available, if you donât have it on your own server. âWatch and Track Movies and TV Shows. Self-hosted version of Plex/Stremio + Trakt, Simkl, etc. Hound aims to be a complete ecosystem of watching, tracking, downloading, and archiving media. Hound is a fully-featured media server, like Jellyfin or Plex, but with the additional ability to stream content through P2P (torrent) or HTTP/Debrid sources. With Hound, you get the benefits of fully controlling your media like Jellyfin, but can also stream instantly like Stremio. Itâs the best of both worlds.â GitHub: dmunozv04 / iSponsorBlockTV: âSponsorBlock client for all YouTube TV clients.â SponsorBlock: âSponsorBlock is an open-source crowdsourced browser extension and open API for skipping sponsor segments in YouTube videos. Users submit when a sponsor happens from the extension, and the extension automatically skips sponsors it knows about using a privacy preserving query system. It also supports skipping other categories, such as intros, outros and reminders to subscribe, and skipping to the point with highlight.â I donât really use YouTube anymore (& no longer have a YouTube TV subscription), but wanted to look into it.

GitHub: nandyalu / trailarr: âTrailarr is a Docker application to download and manage trailers for your Radarr and Sonarr libraries.â I actually have the trailers turned off on my Plex install, i think due to performance or some kind of issues they caused⊠so maybe this isnât worth looking into. GitHub: zulip / zulip: âZulip server and web application. Open-source team chat that helps teams stay productive and focusedâ Zulip: âOrganized chat for distributed teamsâ This would probably be overkill for anything to self-host, but i wanted to look into it. Maybe as a local Discord replacement? All i really used Discord for was local network alerts, so not like i need channels \ users available to use it.

All data is stored locally.â Faved: âA bookmark manager that combines powerful tagging, instant search, and a clean interface that doesnât break as your library grows.â Iâm currently using Karakeep for âread-it-laterâ purposes, & wanted to see if this would be a replacement for that, or really just a pretty bookmark manager. GitHub: grimmory-tools / grimmory: âGrimmory is an independent community fork of Booklore.â Grimmory: âA modern way to organize, access, and self-host your digital library.â As mentioned above, i need to revisit my eBook situation & see where i left off on configuring this.
