Thanks again to our partners at Fly.io, to Breakmaster Cylinder for the beats, and to you for listening.

We appreciate you more than you know.

That's it.

This one's done.

But on Friday, come on back.

We're talking Clodbot slash Multibot, personal software and the death of software as a service.

Talk to you then.

What up, nerds?

I'm Jared, and this is Changelog News for the week of Monday, January 26th, 2026.

This year's Northern Lights show went on tour and has even been visible as far south as California.

We got a peek at it from our back deck somewhere in middle America, but our experience paled in comparison to airline pilot Matt Melnick, who captured some astounding shots from 37,000 feet on his route from Calgary to London.

Links to Matt's photos are in the newsletter.

Okay, let's get into this week's news.

Cloudbot triggers a run on Mac minis.

Cloudbot, an open-source, personal AI assistant that runs on your own hardware, has many developers excited.
