Is it actually true that the Caesar salad was invented in Mexico, not Italy?

Always figured this was an Italian classic, but apparently it was invented in 1924 by a chef named Caesar Cardini at his restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico. Supposedly the restaurant is still open and still serves it the same way today. Anyone know more about this? Feels like one of those food facts everyone gets wrong.

I built a unified dashboard because keeping track of apt, snap, flatpak, and AppImages is way too confusing. Meet AptCrate.

Hey r/pop_os,

I’ve been doing some research lately and one of the biggest pain points I consistently hear from Linux users (and experienced myself) is how fragmented package management has become.

Between apt for system packages, snap and flatpak for sandboxed apps, and AppImage for portable binaries, it's virtually impossible to tell at a glance where an app came from or how to update it. We end up juggling four different tools just to see what's installed or out of date.

So, I built AptCrate. It’s a unified dashboard for Linux package management, and I developed it right here on Pop!_OS.

What it does:

  • Unified package list: See every installed package across apt, snap, flatpak, and AppImage in one table.
  • Update detection: See at a glance which packages have updates available.
  • Bulk & Individual updates: "Update all apt," "Update all flatpak," or just update a single app with one click. No frozen UI, you see the actual command output live.
  • Uninstall: Safely remove flatpaks, snaps, and AppImages right from the dashboard.

I’m currently releasing v1.0.0! I built and tested this specifically on Pop!_OS, though it should work on other Debian/Ubuntu-based distros. I'm planning to distribute it in different formats at a later date, but you can build and run it from source right now.

You can check it out on GitHub here: https://github.com/neojakey/AptCrate

I'd love to hear your feedback or if anyone has feature requests!

[FOR HIRE] Senior Full-Stack Developer | PHP 8.x, MySQL, Tailwind & AI Integration | $65/hr

Hi everyone,

I'm a senior full-stack web developer with over 30 years of experience building, fixing, and maintaining web applications. My main stack centres on vanilla PHP 8.x, MySQL, and Tailwind CSS, backed by extensive experience designing REST APIs and setting up modern AI workflows.

If you have a project that needs a steady hand, here is where I usually help:

  • Building web apps & MVPs from scratch: Clean code, fast load times, and simple architectures that scale easily.
  • Tackling legacy code: Cleaning up messy PHP codebases, squashing stubborn bugs, and speeding up slow database queries.
  • APIs & integrations: Designing REST APIs or hooking up third-party services like payment gateways and CRMs.
  • AI & automation: Adding LLM features, RAG setups, or automated agent workflows directly into your web application.

Rate & Setup:

  • Rate: $65/hr (or fixed-price quotes if you prefer a clear project scope).
  • Availability: Immediate. I work remotely and easily overlap with US and Canadian business hours.
  • Portfolio: pauljacobs.dev

If you need an experienced developer who gets things done cleanly without hand-holding, drop me a message or chat on Reddit.

I built TempTyle, a native temperature monitor for Pop!_OS and Linux

I got tired of running sensors in a terminal every time I wanted to check how hot my machine was running, so I built TempTyle: a small Electron app that shows CPU (Intel and AMD), NVIDIA GPU, NVMe, fan, and RAM temperatures in one window, with a dark glassmorphism look that fits Pop!_OS.

A few things it does:

  • Live per-core CPU temps with color-coded bars, plus GPU utilization/VRAM/power draw if you've got an NVIDIA card.
  • A 10-minute rolling graph of the package temperature next to the main reading, so you can see trends, not just a snapshot.
  • A Preferences window for °C/°F and launch-on-login.
  • An optional tray icon that shows the live temperature as a number in its heat color, so you can glance at the panel instead of opening the app.

It's MIT licensed, and there's a .deb and an .AppImage if you don't want to build from source. Repo's here: https://github.com/neojakey/TempTyle

Still early. AMD GPU support (via rocm-smi) and broader packaging (Flatpak, AUR) are next. Feedback and issues welcome.
