Installed Linux on a new laptop yesterday, and needed to find a USB stick in a dusty drawer. The stick previously had Arch Linux Installer 2021 on it! I can't think of any other uses for the device these days.

I've been really enjoying paru as a pacman substitute on Arch Linux: https://github.com/Morganamilo/paru It allows you to update both normal and AUR packages in one go, which is super convenient. It also shows you PKGBUILD files, so there's still a human audit step for AUR.

New version of difftastic is out! * Fixed a nasty crash that was relatively common * Minor display and performance fixes https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic/releases/tag/0.60.0
