Did some optimizations yesterday:
- speakersafetyd was running at almost 50% of one core all the time, reduced that to about 5%
- WiFi chip kept warming up, even though there was no WiFi traffic. Turns out the issue was coming from the performance cores being too eager so dialed that down, how the highest temp I get is 40-45 degrees
- built a quick temperature monitoring widget on the mac with Claude to see the actual temperatures
- first such build I ever did on the mac using the Omarchy skills
- tried to hunt down a bug that made the speakers click, didn't find the reason, introduced logging in the running kernel to at least have something for next time it shows up
Am I the only one loosing track of github comments/reactions/etc? I just received one on my app, previewed the notification with a long press, now I can;t find it anywhere.

To reiterate -- standing on the shoulders of giants is what made this possible, thank you for the amazing work of the @AuroraSilicon contributors

Omarchy is forever free. There's no monetization scheme coming. I'm already rich and the Omacom Foundation is a well-founded nonprofit.
The only ulterior motive here is to make Linux win on the desktop and create the perfect, malleable computer for all to enjoy!
A take I agree with a lot.
I used to be a language lawyer. In the late 80s I _studied_ the ARM (Annotated Reference Manual for C++). I knew the language cold, inside and out. I could make it do backflips. I shipped a lot of code using it. A LOT.
I’ve attacked other languages with a similar intensity and depth. Until recently, that was simply the only way to become adept at building software systems.
I now consider the deep understanding of a language to be a supreme waste of time and effort. I don’t want to learn Rust, or Golang, or Typescript, or any of the thousands of other languages out there. I’ll leave that to my agents.
What I need now is to understand the high level gestalt of the system. I want to see the systems and subsystems. I don’t need to inspect the cogs. If I truly need to understand a detail at the cog level, I’ll interrogate my agents. I’m not going to pretend to be a language expert anymore.
Managed to make the camera work as well, ok quality. Some optimization on the way.
Good progress today! @omarchy now boots from disk on my MacBook Pro 14" M5 Max. Working: all 18 cores, internal display with brightness keys, keyboard + backlight, trackpad, Wi-Fi incl. 6 GHz, Bluetooth, speakers + mic, battery, lid, power off, USB-C. Next: continue GPU and sleep optimisation.
This is just sad. You can have rules that make the LLM work legal and ethical and still use them.
"LLMs engender harms to the pillars of Asahi Linux: software freedom, the open-source community, the open Internet, the environment, digital privacy, user consent, and software developers themselves... we broadly forbid the use of generative AI." 🙄 asahilinux.org/llm-policy/

Asahi changing to GPLv2 changes nothing, btw. The Linux kernel is already GPLv2! We make all the source changes we have against the Linux kernel available, as we do with anything based on Asahi. Omarchy itself is MIT, the most permissible license. Enjoy!

@dhh some good progress above. It may sound like a brag, but I am quite happy with it. PRs also open, looking for feedback.

Deep sleep update:
0.05 W averaged over a 3-hour sleep, nearly 10x less than Linux s2idle (0.44 W) on M1 Air
Just booted @omarchy from its own disk for the first time on M5 Max (for me at least).

This is awesome! It's the single feature I miss a lot from Linux given that my phone is and likely be iPhone due to communication with my parents.

Minutes after me going to bed my agents stopped again, even though I specifically asked them to keep going.
By agents I mean various Claude versions. Anyone have a way to make them work while not watching what they do? I find that any combination of effort or ultracode gets me here.
On my side what works on the M5 Max 14: nvme, all cpu cores, wifi/wifi 6GHz, bluetooth, useb2 sometimes 3, sleep, battery, backlit, PMP powered.
DCP, GPU in progress.
