Is SaaS dead?
I analyzed 758 startups with over $1,000 MRR on TrustMRR.com.
1. Their revenue over the last 4 months is slightly declining.
That compounded decline would be about 11% per year. At a steady pace, that's 45% degrowth in 5 years.
2. B2B revenue is holding up better than B2C.
Median revenue growth was 0% for B2B (255 businesses), versus −6.2% for B2C (257).
3. Existing momentum tends to persist.
Among businesses whose revenue grew at least 5% from June to July, 54% subsequently grew MRR. Among those whose revenue previously fell by at least 5%, only 35% grew MRR.
n=758 startups and $41.63M in revenue in the last 4 months.

By next year, Omarchy could become the number 1 Linux distro. It's growing like crazy currently!
Feels like the early Ubuntu days back then (yes, I was there!)

You just solved something that confused you yesterday. Explain it while you still remember where you got stuck. You can help another beginner without pretending to be an expert.

Dude, can we please stop publishing vulns before they are disclosed to the vendor!?!?!?!??!

Amazing endorsement of X. This really is where you'll find the most optimistic, forward-looking people in tech.
The poll so far between Twitter, Bluesky and Mastodon. I think it looks less absurd than last time, but still pretty clear that the base is divided. xitter.cf/mitsuhiko/status/21143…

Coming soon
Video is sped up, total install took 3.8 minutes

Hi everyone. I wanted to introduce you all to the ODK ("Omarchy Development Kit"). This is a project that provides the foundational work for building high quality, consistent and beautiful applications for Omarchy. It is based on Rust and GPUI, moving away from Quickshell, and besides just having apps built in Rust, the ODK also introduces a runtime service that can understand app archives similar to the MacOS `.app` - but in our case of course, `.oma` - this means that a directory becomes "executable" and automatically sandboxed under a least privilege permissions model. Please check out the video. I recorded this super quick, so the production value is low. I am not a content guy!

Omarchy QA, using nightly builds, is now kicking off every morning at 8am
granted there is only one test, but that one test is beautiful :)
Should have 50 tests here soon

I recommend everyone upgrade Ruby immediately. This is a DoS and RCE vector if you accept user input into Regexp.new() ruby-lang.org/en/news/2026/1…

3% of “critical” software security bugs, in all of recorded history, have been found in the last month.
This is on pace to find another ~100,000 bugs this year alone, adding ~26% more vulnerabilities to the all time total
Do you realize how fucking insane that is?

A few days ago this was a mockup. Tonight it's running in @Omarchy: live NEXRAD radar in the weather panel, looping through a storm that’s currently passing over Grants, NM right now.

🚨 BREAKING: LINUX IS NOW FACING TWO CRITICAL SECURITY VULNERABILITIES, AND THERE ARE NO OFFICIAL KERNEL FIXES YET.
Both rated 9.0/10 in severity.
One could allow hackers to take control of vulnerable servers WITHOUT EVEN LOGGING IN.
And the most alarming part? The flaws were made PUBLIC before patches were ready.
Here's what's happening:
→ TWO CRITICAL RCE FLAWS: Both affect KSMBD, Linux's built-in SMB file server.
→ NO PASSWORD REQUIRED: One vulnerability could allow unauthenticated attackers to execute malicious code on vulnerable servers.
→ KERNEL-LEVEL ACCESS: Successful exploitation could potentially give attackers control within the Linux kernel itself.
→ NO MAINLINE PATCH YET: Both vulnerabilities were publicly disclosed before official kernel fixes were available.
→ DISCOVERED BY AI: Trend Micro's AI-powered security scanner identified the flaws.
→ SERVERS AT RISK: Linux systems running the vulnerable KSMBD service need immediate attention, especially if port 445 is exposed.
First PHP. Then Node.js. Then GitLab. Then Python.
NOW LINUX.
And this time, the vulnerabilities are PUBLIC before the fixes are ready.
If you manage Linux servers, CHECK YOUR EXPOSURE NOW.
🚨 BREAKING: IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE. NOW PYTHON IS FACING A MASSIVE SECURITY EMERGENCY.
Python's security team has issued an URGENT warning after a certificate authority compromise put Python's HTTPS security at risk.
→ 8 CERTIFICATE AUTHORITY KEYS COMPROMISED. Some were so weak they could be cracked almost INSTANTLY.
→ FAKE TRUSTED WEBSITES: Attackers could potentially impersonate Python.org, PyPI and other websites during intercepted connections.
→ MALICIOUS DOWNLOADS: Vulnerable environments could be tricked into downloading software from attacker-controlled servers.
→ YOUR OS PATCH MAY NOT PROTECT YOU: Older versions of pip can STILL trust compromised certificates even after system updates.
→ EMERGENCY UPDATES: Python developers are being told to immediately update pip, certifi, uv and other affected tools.
→ DOCKER USERS AT RISK: Existing container images may retain vulnerable certificate stores and need rebuilding.
First PHP. Then Node.js. Then GitLab. Then LiteLLM.
NOW PYTHON.
The very systems developers rely on to establish TRUST online are becoming the attack surface.
If you use Python, PATCH NOW.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Python certifi/pip details match the real eMudhra CA incident, but PHP, GitLab and LiteLLM involved unrelated software bugs, platform flaws and supply chain malware—not CA key compromises like this (Node.js patched concurrently for the same CA issue).

KSMBD is a rarely used optional in-kernel SMB server distinct from the common Samba implementation; it is not enabled or shipped by default on major distributions like RHEL, and the flaws affect only systems explicitly running it with port 445 exposed.
