A GTK4 port of Shotwell has been in the works since 2025. It’s the first big toolkit port the image tool has since since it migrated to GTK3 in 2012 (v0.12.0). Yet despite the leap, the user-facing result is just a plain port; it’s not as visually transformative as gThumb’s GTK4/libadwaita port (which looks like an entirely new app) A more substantive visual revamp using GTK4/libadwaita may follow. 2026-09-13T20:20:25+00:00 OMG!

I thought it perfect but I was wrong and it took four years to recover 😪 Let’s be clear, my last post on this was true: I loved deploying 11ty. It was 100% right to move to a SSG , exfiltrate the content from a claggy database into markdown files, twisting the excellent markdown-it library to handle a decade of custom tags and weird oddities, and 11ty Just Kinda Sorta Worked™.

I managed to recharge my Debian batteries, and my talks / BoF sessions all went fine. Already looking forward to DebConf in Japan next year! DebCamp The evening before DebCamp started, we had a nice bbq (we taught some locals to call it a “braai” at an organiser’s house and went for a walk around the river as the sun set.

These controls are mature, widely deployed, and often explicitly referenced in security frameworks. However, runtime is different: when an application processes sensitive information, that data is typically available in memory.

The key word there is “smoothly”: a good platform connects those layers so well that you don’t notice it.
