[Hyprland] First rice, something monochrome

[KDE Plasma] Red themed KDE. My first rice ever.

Finally stopped dual-booting with Windows 11. I'm a full Linux user now. I'm not new to Linux, but I still have a lot to learn. My journey with Linux started with Ubuntu back in 2020, then went back to Windows 10, to Windows 11, to Fedora Workstation, back to Windows 11**,** to Fedora KDE, to EndevourOS, to CachyOS, and then finally back to Fedora KDE 44. Then decided to try ricing it. And I hope you like it!

[OC] Halley now has an infinite world-space shader wallpaper 👀

Added a new background system: a shader-based space wallpaper that exists in world space instead of being tied to the screen.

So when you move through the spatial layout, the wallpaper stays anchored and everything moves over it. It effectively feels infinite, which makes the whole spatial model feel way more coherent than a normal static wallpaper.

flow v0.1.1 is out!

flow v0.1.1 is out

This release is mostly about making the UI work better in more environments while cleaning up a lot of rough edges.

New in this release:

  • Added a new --mini mode that shows only the live graphs. Useful for smaller terminals.
  • Press m to switch between Hero, Compact, Mini and Tiny views without restarting.
  • The dashboard now automatically switches to a smaller layout if your terminal isn't tall enough.
  • Refreshed the UI with cleaner borders, gradients and typography.
  • Added a cleaner help dialog and status bar.
  • Peak throughput now briefly flashes when a new session record is reached.

--tiny also got a pretty big overhaul.

It no longer depends on Bubble Tea or terminal detection, so it now works properly inside tmux #( ), cron jobs, pipes and redirected output. --tiny --no-color now produces plain text with no ANSI escape sequences.

Also fixed:

  • Daily totals not resetting correctly across month/year boundaries.
  • Hangs when network counter reads failed.
  • Config file creation on macOS and Windows.
  • Platform-specific config paths on Linux, macOS and Windows.

If flow has been useful to you, consider sponsoring the project. It helps me dedicate more time to maintaining it and building new features.

A GitHub star, bug report, or even sharing the project is just as appreciated.

[SMARTPHONE] Arch Linux with framebuffer display driver running on Samsung Galaxy S7

A few days ago I started porting Arch Linux to my old phone. Before it could only be accessed via ssh or adb, now I managed to use /dev/fb0 to write to the screen.

Touchscreen does not work on X11(for now), so I had to use a USB dongle

DE: xfce4 aarch64

Window manager: X11

Video driver: fbdev

This is not running on top of android, this is fully native

[OC] Golazo - Follow football from your terminal; new World Cup features

I posted this project several months ago but wanted to share an update now that the World Cup 2026 is happening. I’ve added several improvements, new features and add optimizations to the code. Still actively working on it, but wanted to share the latest version here today in case some people like it.

When streaming is not an option, this app gives me an option to follow or catch up on football matches, right from the terminal.

  • Real-time match events with auto-refresh

  • Finished match stats, formations, player ratings, etc

  • Goal notifications, official highlights and goal links embedded

  • 70+ leagues worldwide & customizable to track only your favourite ones

  • New World Cup 2026 view: groups, top scorers, knockout bracket, etc

Install: brew install 0xjuanma/tap/golazo and other options in repo README

https://github.com/0xjuanma/golazo

Thank you for all the support so far, all contributors and everyone who reported issues or shared this. Hoping to get more people to try this out, share it and enjoy it now that football(i.e, soccer) is on everyone’s mind because of the World Cup. Cheers!

[OC] Thanks for 200+ stars! Metropolis (Cyberpunk city system monitor)

Metropolis now has 200+ stars and I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone. I posted about Metropolis, a system monitor that turns your system metrics into a living cyberpunk skyline, and we have come a long way already since then. The amount of support, feature requests, and contributions is so incredible and something I never would have expected. It’s kept me motivated to keep improving and maintaining the project.

GH repo: https://github.com/5c0/metropolis

Since the first version released, we have added installation support on Crates.io, AUR, Winget, Nix, and most recently MacOs via Homebrew. The program itself has been compressed 10x, it’s now super tiny and lightweight (<1mb). We have added some really cool custom themes(See theme gallery in discussion section on GH), and made the entire program fully customizable by adding a config.toml, a template, and cli args.

I love you all, thank you again for all the support. Thank you to all the people who have contributed whether it be by opening a PR, creating a custom theme, or even just starring the repo and sharing it.

flow: a network monitor for your terminal that actually looks like it belongs in 2026

I got tired of network monitors that look like they were designed for a BBS, so I built flow. It's a real time bandwidth monitor with Braille grid waveforms, spring smoothed numbers, and glowing borders that react to traffic load.

What it does

It shows live download and upload throughput with units that auto scale from B/s up to GB/s. The waveform is a high res Braille grid scrolling at 30fps, and the borders glow brighter as traffic picks up, going from a dark idle state to bright cyan and emerald under load. Numbers are spring interpolated so they glide instead of jumping around. It tracks session peaks, flashing white when you hit a new record, and keeps a running daily total.

There are three views that adapt to your terminal width. Hero is the full dashboard. Compact strips it down to numbers only. Tiny is a single line built for tmux status bars.

Philosophy

If a feature doesn't help you understand your network in under a second, it doesn't make the cut. No CPU panels, no packet counters, no multi pane clutter. Just download and upload throughput, done well.

Usage

flow                        # hero view, auto interface
flow --compact              # numbers only
flow --tiny                 # tmux status bar
flow --json                 # one-shot JSON for scripts
flow --once                 # one-shot plain text

tmux integration

set -g status-right "#(flow --tiny --no-color)"
set -g status-interval 1

Install

go install github.com/programmersd21/flow/cmd/flow@latest

or AUR:

yay -S flow-network-monitor-bin

or homebrew:

brew install programmersd21/flow/flow

Pre-built binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows (amd64/arm64) are on the releases page.

It works with zero config out of the box. If you want to tweak the refresh rate, history length, or units, there's an optional TOML config at ~/.config/flow/config.toml.

Platform support

It runs on Linux (/proc/net/dev), macOS (sysctl), and Windows (GetIfTable2, no admin needed). Idle CPU stays under 1%.

Would love feedback, especially on the tiny/tmux mode. Curious if the info density is right for people running it in a status bar all day.
