Engagement
20 posts held, back to 24 December 2024 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 18 October 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Reaction mix
104 reactions across 14 posts, in 18 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 29.8% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 15 of the 20 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 104 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 20 most recent posts we hold, published 24 December 2024 to 18 October 2025, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Expanding battery charge control support in Linux Since GNOME 48, users can now preserve their battery health directly from GNOME Settings. Currently, this feature only works on laptops that support both start and end charge thresholds, such as ThinkPads. Ideally, we’d like to support every laptop with any form of charge threshold control but that isn't … https://vdwaa.nl/charge-types-api-upower.html #planetarch

zabbix >= 7.4.1-2 may require manual intervention Starting with 7.4.1-2, the following Zabbix system user accounts (previously shipped by their related packages) will no longer be used. Instead, all Zabbix components will now rely on a shared zabbix user account (as originally intended by upstream and done by other distributions): zabbix-server zabbix-proxy zabbix-agent _(also used by the `zabbix-agent2` p…

Introducing pkgctl license In Arch Linux, as part of RFC40, we have recently decided to license all Arch Linux package sources as 0BSD. Our package sources didn't have any license previously. RFC40 only specified that we do want to license our package sources but it didn't specify how to ensure this. As such, in RFC52 we decided we want to use REUSE to achieve that. NOTE: It might be a bit confusing that our PKGBUIL…

linux-firmware >= 20250613.12fe085f-5 upgrade requires manual intervention With 20250613.12fe085f-5, we split our firmware into several vendor-focused packages. linux-firmware is now an empty package depending on our default set of firmware. Unfortunately, this coincided with upstream reorganizing the symlink layout of the NVIDIA firmware, resulting in a situation that Pacman cannot handle. When attempting to upgra…

Transition to the new WoW64 wine and wine-staging We are transitioning the wine and wine-staging package to a pure wow64 build. This change removes the dependency on the multilib repository for wine and wine-staging. The main reason for this is to align with upstream Wine development, which simplifies packaging and the dependency chain. Potential Issues: OpenGL Performance: A known limitation of the new WoW64 …

Easter hack: terraform-provider-openwrt April is usualy tax season for most people in Norway, and as I got some “money back on the skætt” I wound up purchasing an OpenWrt One to replace my 13-14 year old Asus router. I’ve been meaning to learn a bit more about networking in general and getting an OpenWrt router seemed like a fun project. Last year I bought a Beryl AX from GL-Inet as I was travelling for a few weeks.…

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @planetarch. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
