Getting Android Studio to work on Asahi Linux in 2026

So, you want to do some Android development on Asahi Linux, but figured out that Android Studio isn't compatible with aarch64?

Well, worry not, it actually works but needs some jedi tricks.

First, follow the instructions on this blog post (except the last part, it's not required)

It'll mostly work, but you need to:

Disabling iCloud optimisation

Recently, my mac started exhibiting a strange behavior...

Accessing some files, even from the terminal, was extremely slow.

Finder was stuck when opening some folders.

A guide to leaving Arc for Zen Browser

The problem with Arc is that it doesn't allow exporting data (history, bookmarks) to a file natively.

One way to do this is to use a script but that only exports Bookmarks and not the history.

I don't really use the bookmarks feature that much; what I really liked about Arc was that it was really easy to navigate to somewhere I already visited.

So, if you're like me, follow this guide and you'll be able to import your browsing history into Zen browser!

Hetzner stroking on some TCP outgoing traffic

My Robo server can access some IPs, but not some others. Weird!

Adding explicit TCP outgoing allow rules (fail)

I explicitely enabled outgoing IPv4 TCP + UDP traffic. Four entries in total:

IPv4 TCP

SWC converts dynamic `import` calls to `require`

This document describes the problem I faced as well as the solution

systemctl enable iscsid && systemctl start iscsi

	# This is a Mitmproxy plugin that allows overwriting DNS responses to a given domain.
	# Currently, it overwrites requests to thesupermac.local to 10.0.2.2
	# There might be some typos -- I'll let this for you to fix; but I can confirm that it works.
	# I added some comments to help future users :)
	# IMPORTANT: you need to use the Wireguard mode for this to work, as far as I know.
