Beyond package management: How Nix refactored my digital life

(You can find my Nix config over on Github) I'm a disorganised person. My workflow is to bounce around a codebase for days/weeks at a time and when I come up for air I'll usually have left a slew of configs, tools, scripts, repos scattered around my computer like the socks near the bed, or the pile of paperwork on my desk.

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Ends Its Bumpy Season With a Similarly Bumpy Finale

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season has been its bumpiest ride yet, with more lows than highs. But in something that feels like somewhat of a reset for the series, its finale brings together elements from a few of those highs (and a few of those lows, for good or ill) to deliver an ending that at the very least brings the Enterprise into proverbial spacedock smoothly… if not without a few scrapes along the hull.

Tonverk is Elektron’s new polyphonic sample mangler and groovebox

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-10-13 03:36:45

Elektron has built a cult-like following over the years with its unique and, at times, esoteric take on electronic musical instruments. On paper, Tonverk is a seemingly over-powered sampler that continues that tradition. It’s the rare piece of hardware capable of creating multisampled instruments on its own. It turns a single sample track into a nesting doll of multiple samples. And it’s loaded with an absolutely absurd amount of routing and audio processing features. Tonverk is certainly capabl

New VMScape attack breaks guest-host isolation on AMD, Intel CPUs

A new Spectre-like attack dubbed VMScape allows a malicious virtual machine (VM) to leak cryptographic keys from an unmodified QEMU hypervisor process running on modern AMD or Intel CPUs. The attack breaks the isolation between VMs and the cloud hypervisor, bypassing existing Spectre mitigations and threatening to leak sensitive data by leveraging speculative execution.

Robert Triggs / Android Authority At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel about the iPhone 17. To me, all of the leaks pointed towards another year of the same old, same old. But then, Apple unveiled its base-level flagship, and it had some tricks up its sleeve.
