@MgkMshrmBrkfst@umbrel Of course! Just open PRs for each app to the official repo here and we'll help with testing and packaging to make sure it's ready to go:

it's a good day to ask what happens to 10 years of your files and photos if your account gets flagged tomorrow
if the answer scares you, that's your sign to get a home server
A simple proposal for adding Bitcoin finality guarantees to the Liquid Network.
This isn't particularly impactful today, but would be an important change if Liquid moves to a BitVM bridge to enforce the 1-of-n custody trust assumption.

@captCovalent@Public_Pool_BTC@SoloSatoshi@umbrel We'll update as soon as Ben brings the changes to the self-hosted version! Right now I think this is just for the public server they run.
We'll keep our eye on it 🤝
@m1k__3@umbrel We just addressed this very thing late last week. Apps across the entire app store should be updated (and tested) within hours of a stable upstream release dropping.
Another day, another Linux CVE. Truly wild times.
So here's umbrelOS 1.7.3 which patches DirtyFrag (CVE-2026-43284 and CVE-2026-43500).
The vulnerability hits the news. You hit "Install now" and you're already patched. You're welcome. 🤝
The umbrelOS App Store just crossed 300+ apps. So we rebuilt https://t.co/jrvwiUBhtI from the ground up.
Huge respect to every developer building these apps, and every contributor submitting them to the store! 🙌
Go find your next self-hosted obsession for your home server. Live now.
ya the Home will serve you great if you're just looking to run a node! You'll want at least the 2TB option to fit the blockchain (unless you're running a pruned node for whatever reason). We've got a storage picker on the site that will help you choose the right size based on your use-case so check it out.
The Pro is a good choice if you want to be able to expand storage later, have SSD redundancy, or need the more powerful cpu and faster networking. also... it's sexy
ANOTHER umbrel user just solo-mined a block via public pool. less than 7 days after the last one
y'all it's getting hard to write these tweets. we've used up "ANOTHER ONE." we've used up "the simulation is broken." we've used up "save the draft."
we need new vocabulary for an event that we didn't realize would happen this often.
anyway, congrats to the new legend!! 👑
