OpenRiot v7.9.25 — The Binary Ate My Backup Tool

“1.8 TB is a lot of bytes. Just one of them is not.” — The OpenRiot Crew, discovering that ParseDriveSize was splitting on the space and reading only the last character

Release Overview

v7.9.25 swallows Migrate whole. 12,631 lines of Go, 38 files, 17 external deps — all baked into openriot --backup. No separate binary, no config/bin/migrate, no symlink to chase. The backup tool is now part of the operating system that ships inside the wm that lives in your terminal.

Everything from v7.9.20 through v7.9.25 is here: the Firefox private window that finally admits it’s private, the Disk Manager that learned what bioctl -d actually wants, the clipboard exorcism, the Kate installer, the mascot that crawled out of the wallpaper, and the resume hook that remembers where you left off.

🤝 Migrate Joins the Binary (v7.9.25)

Stat	Value
Lines of Go imported	12,631
Files added	38
External deps added	1 (`x/term`)
Binary size increase	0.8MB (15.3→16.1MB)
Old standalone binary	deleted
Rofi launcher	`-e migrate` → `-e openriot --backup`

Every Migrate sub-package — drives/, platform/, handlers/, screens/, state/ — lives under source/migrate/. The 11 Linux-only files were deleted. What remains is pure OpenBSD: syscall mounts, Getfsstat drive detection, no lsblk, no udisksctl, no cryptsetup. Zero external binary deps. Zero CGO. Zero apologies.

The --backup command wraps it all: openriot --backup launches the full Bubble Tea TUI with drive selection, space validation, home folder scanning, multi-phase backup/restore, and SHA-256 verification — all inside your existing terminal. No new install step. No config/bin/migrate that might be stale. Just a flag.

File	Change
`source/migrate/*`	NEW — 38 files, 12,631 LOC
`config/bin/migrate`	REMOVED — now `openriot --backup`
`config/rofi/utilities.txt`	`-e migrate` → `-e openriot --backup`
`source/commands/commands.go`	`--backup` command registered
`source/go.mod`	+`golang.org/x/term`

🕵️ Firefox Private Browser Icon (v7.9.24)

i3’s get_tree reports class=firefox for both normal and private windows. The only difference is the window title containing “Private Browsing”. Three separate code paths now detect this and emit firefox-private for icon lookup.

The icon was debated for a full thirty seconds: agent hat  → incognito dot 󰡖. At 14px in polybar, the dot wins.

File	Change
`source/windowicon/windowicon.go`	`IsPrivateFirefox()` helper
`source/workspaceicons/workspaceicons.go`	emit `firefox-private`
`source/window/switch.go`	detect private in `walk`
`source/polybar/polybar.go`	detect private in
	`collectAllClasses` and
	`collectWindows`
`config/window/icons.toml`	`` → `󰡖`

⌨️ Kate IDE (v7.9.22)

Prompted during setup: “Would you like to install Kate (Code IDE)? [y/N]”. Default is no, saving ~300MB of KDE deps. When installed: Ayu Dark theme, BreezeDark UI, FiraCode Nerd Font. Rofi entries auto-stripped when declined.

🖼️ Mascot Wallpapers (v7.9.22-23)

All 20 backgrounds and 60+ lock screens rebuilt. Grids. CRT glow. The ghost from the install screen is everywhere.

⌨️ Clipmenud Exorcism (v7.9.21)

clipmenud’s XFixes polling was dropping key-press events under load. The exec line was uncommented. The comment said “disabled” but the binary ran. Polybar intervals staggered to coprime values. Rightmost module group: purple → cyan-dim.

🔌 Post-Resume (v7.9.17)

openriot --resume via /etc/apm/resume: settle, xrandr, laptop panel, lidaction sysctls, WiFi, WireGuard, done.

🔐 Disk Manager (v7.9.18-19)

openriot --disk: Bubble Tea TUI for mount, umount, format, encrypt, benchmark. Softraid-aware. bioctl -d needs the volume name. The volume. Name.

🗣️ Final Words

“The binary ate my backup tool. I’m not even mad. That’s 12,631 lines I don’t have to update separately ever again.” — The OpenRiot Crew, watching make install finish in approximately the same time it used to take just to copy the old binary
