I've a question about #OpenBSD . How come there isn't much in the way of #Wayland stuff compared to the #FreeBSD ? I'd have presumed that moving on towards Wayland is the future ? Correct me if I'm wrong or missing something. #RunBSD

Been very busy today and still not finished. Ripped up the old carpet in my #HomeLab room. Bought a new one and then fitted it. Built a new rack and assemble another desk for me to work on other equipment and build stuff. Still got the servers to relocate from their old cupboard to the new rack. Even have my reclining thinking couch in there too. Getting there though. 🙃

Wee jaunt down to Burntisland near Edinburgh to repair the radar onboard the GPS Arcadia. It's lovely and warm here not like Peterhead was this morning.

Nice, I've finally add the @npub157f…pu60 quota integrations into my #HomeAssistant so I can keep an eye on usage wherever I am. 😎

Been using #HelixEditor for a while now and I thought I'd just check back with my #Neovim config and just nope ! I don't miss the hassle of all those breaking changes. Think I'm going to stick where I'm at with Helix as it just works for me the way I want it to with a little config.

@npub198t…hasj Can I ask what quota package you have and do you ever get near the limit ? What things are you doing on your connection just so I can get an idea if the 1Tb a month package is enough. Thanks in advance.

Eeek ! Just discovered that I can now get FTTP @ upto 1800Mbps by 120Mbps. Obviously I'm going to go big and I'm currently with Plus Net with a static IP address but I'm considering Andrews & Arnold. 🤔

@npub1l3g…vu48 I've been watching it progress and I'm intrigued by it's mix of heritage. No I'm not jumping distro ATM but I'm definitely keen to see what those who use it or develop it have to say.

2024-05-21 17:06:17

So #ChimeraLinux looks interesting, sort of a BSD based non GNU Linux distro. Anybody here using it and if so what distro did you come from ?
What drew you and what keeps you here instead of the likes of say #AlpineLinux , #VoidLinux or even just going #FreeBSD or #OpenBSD ??
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
https://chimera-linux.org/

2024-05-20 17:05:19

I know it's a #BSD thing but I'm wondering if there's any point in switching out sudo for doas in my #VoidLinux setup ? What are the pro's and cons ?
Has anyone done it and stayed with doas or did you switch straight back ?

2024-05-20 15:40:44

Haha a freshly built #RiverWM - 0.4.0-dev.22+7fdba05 using #Zig 0.12.0

I've deleted my #Telegram account now and will probably go with #Signal for the foreseeable.

2024-05-12 00:47:20

This is definitely a feature I'd like to see either baked in or as a LSP or even a plugin if #HelixEditor ever gets support for them.

Nice ! This simple-completion-language-server works a treat for #HelixEditor. Yes you have to configure it to work for each of your languages and or set up a stub language that you could enable from the command with :set-language stub . But other than that it sorts out the issue of no text completion from the opened buffer.

Oh man ! I'm trying to hate #HelixEditor but I keep discovering new stuff that makes things so much easier. Yes I know it's possible in #Neovim but it's just so much easier with Helix. Check out these commands.

I was today years old when I found out that I could use json/hocon style in my sway config. That'll tidy things up somewhat.
Small example below:
gaps {
top 4
inner 10
}
Instead of:
gaps top 4
gaps inner 10

Here's Bella a cat we took in a good few years ago whom you couldn't go near or touch for fear of being bitten or scratched. We think she didn't have a good life previously but now as you can see she curls up beside me on the sofa and let's me pick her up and cuddle her.

Most people like a good book. Me, I like rummaging through other peoples dotfiles to see how they do things and a lot of the time I end up learning new stuff too.
I'm mainly a #Wayland dotfile stalker though. I know, I know, I need to get a life. 🤣

Had to drive up to Elgin today as my company van has been recalled re emissions. Got here and the girl at reception said "what are your plans today?" .
I thought odd as it apparently it's only a software upgrade but asked why ? She told me it could be two hours. Hmm what for do in Elgin for possibly two hours on foot ? I can't go to MacDonald's or the like as I'm being really good and on plan with Slimming World. Oh time for a wonder. 🙄

I think I've found my battery drain issue on my #Fairphone4 whilst running #Calyxos . I was pointed to downloading an app called cpuinfo on #fdroid and it showed all 8 cores at Max. Tracked it down to #OSMAND . I force stopped it and all cores drop to less than half. So I guess I'll not be using that app for a while.

2024-03-07 21:43:02

Even though I'm running #Hyprland right now I keep looking at #RiverWM and lately I'm wondering how far I would get if I tried to use #Eww for my bars as having two screens would mean I could toggle the bars on and off independently with Eww where I can't do that with #Yambar. So maybe it's time to investigate and to make a RiverWM workspaces script for Eww ?

2024-02-28 20:50:09

Next I might swap out swayidle for hypridle and see how I get on with it. 🤔
