📰 BleachBit’s new TUI lets you clean without a desktop environment
Open-source cleaning tool BleachBit has gained a text-based user interface (TUI) as an optional alternative to its standard graphical frontend. Unlike BleachBit’s existing CLI, which is intended for non-interactive use in scripts, the TUI is fully interactive, you navigate the interface with your keyboard (there’s limited mouse support) to select, preview and clean out cruft.

The ZimaCube 2 is a nice and polished, literal cube, to serve as your personal cloud / network attached storage (NAS) device.

📰 I turned my Raspberry Pi into a pocket Linux server that runs from a power bank, and it's weirdly useful
With most x86 devices in my arsenal already engaged in DIY projects, I’ve gone back to experimenting with ARM boards. In fact, I've been running a bunch of lightweight LLMs on my single-board computers, and they’re surprisingly decent at running sub-4B models. Toss them in a cluster, and they can even handle the likes of 9B LLMs (provided you’re willing to overlook the abysmally low token generation rates).
