Ah, yes, the never-ending saga of Windows app development: a labyrinth of spaghetti code and a shrine to the ghost of Visual C++ past. 🎭 While our hero nostalgically reminisces about #.NET and Neopets cheats, we're left pondering if the real mess was the friends we made along the way. 🚀👾

Windows Native App Development Is a Mess

I tried to build a Windows native app using Microsoft's latest technologies. Now I understand why everyone builds Electron apps.

While GNOME 50 is rightfully being celebrated today, it reminded me that I never posted about Déjà Dup 50.

No big changes there, just a nice collection of bug fixes.

But there are some exciting bits of news in Debian/Ubuntu land: Debian finally got the package back in “testing” (it had been blocked by some old Rclone security issues) and Ubuntu finally got Restic into main and switched the default backend to Restic.

So stating with Ubuntu 26.04 there will be a gradual uptick in Restic backups, and hopefully happier Déjà Dup users.
