Journals
I realized I still have an FL Studio License. I have been getting back into it and it has been great to make music again. Of course if you know me, I am big Free Software advocate, so why would I not be using like idk ardour or something? Well this has been a personal introspection, and the FSF might start punching the air lol, but I feel my Free Software advocacy has particularly been against and as opposition to Open Source rather than opposition to proprietary software.
40% of all SaaS could be completely cooked if we had friendlier Email infrastructure. Email literally mogs SaaS.
Your stupid communication routing software wouldn’t survive granddaddy Email waking up at the wheel!
I have been somewhat on a journey of furthering my Emacs experience. It’s been 5 years since, I first picked up Emacs, which is kinda crazy to think about in retrospect. Initially, I tried my own config, but then swapped to Doom when I needed a good productive starting point. I was on Doom Emacs and there was a level of integration I still don’t have today. I am happy with my very minimal and zen setup, right now.
Happy New Year! Here is my first journal of the new year, I think I will be abandoning the previous schedule I said I was going to do that had the time requirement. It seemed like a reasonable idea at first, but now I am just like I will just time them when they are made, rather than trying to schedule an upload.
I have been greatly surprised by the Chez Scheme deployment process, at first I was fighting it as it wasn’t very intuitive for me.
Due to a variety of factors, including the holidays(Merry Christmas! Christ is born!), I have not programmed in about two weeks. I have a large amount of projects I would like to finish soon. A first release of Super Company , PearHoneyBee Mailing List Software , a new release of ISAA, Deception Labs , and more!
I am going to start scheduling my posts to release at 1:30AM. Even though I have not been very good keeping my schedule I set for my self, I want to improve! I think scheduling will help this.
I am working on adding some cool new features to my environment, particularly a ‘geeked’ vs ’locked-in’ toggle. Currently, I have a beautiful animated wallpaper and blur effect. However it would be nice to be able to have in a sense a battery saver that turned these features off. This is basically an extension of my previous post. Having a variety of features and services be toggleable is really cool. I think I will also make some scripts to clean up some of my very long isaa commands.
I know I know, I should not be startng any new projects, but I want to start mailing lists and all the gpl options are nightmares, generally email as a whole is a nightmare, but that is a different issue. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking mailman3 is good, and sympa is also so undocumented. Yes, I could put effort into helping these projects, but also I do not want to support the weird python/perl stuff you see in a lot of these old sysadmin type of tools, I am from a different generation!
This christmas we should all try to send some money or time to free software projects you use or depend on. I think I will make a blog post listing some projects I plan on supporting this holiday season.
This is really great! I have come to realize that I can use ISAA for even more thinks on my system. Toggling mpvpaper to save battery, replacing waybar for live tinkering, also I want to make more widgets for my system in general, this is getting exciting!
I ever since I got my thinkpad, instead of going for my current emacs setup, you can find it on github, I went for something really different an almost uncomfortable. I now just have a buffer and a somethimes a tab-bar, no modeline, no modeline but on he top instead, I literally don’t even have an indicator for whether the file has been written or not(that will probably change soon). I also have no popups like company, I am using basic completion-at-point when I need it.
I think it is better to be on a schedule of journal/blogging during the weekday rather than trying to keep up a daily schedule including the weekends. I found I wasn’t even hitting that, and seems like no real point. Especially as I have personally been getting schedule together.
Today, I am going to really start diving into Linux Containers. This is a technology that has always interested me. I plan on implementing this into the Ade Bench project.
Two days, ago I made a blog post documenting my feelings about SemVer. It wasn’t anything special, just conveying an idea about version numbering being a lot more opinionated and conveying more to software consumers. Well, I have now released the first version of ISAA to the public, under this alternative versioning system. Therefore, I actually need to name it. If you saw, version numbers are preappended with a literal ‘w’, this is due to the original thought of a name being Temantic Wersioning.
I am going to be release my first bit of general public software tomorrow! ISAA is finished and ready to be sent out into the world. This is kinda nerve-wracking because it is not something I have done before and I know there are a lot of issues with ISAA now(Don’t look at the """ hash """ table lol), but it will be so nice to publicize this. It solved a problem I had, and that is what matters, right?
Since yesterday, I have been full force working on a singleton process manager called Interior Sergeant-At-Arms, ISAA. It is now functional! I can now run a process management daemon that keeps on insance of a process class running at a time, with a variety of strategies. This started as project to get my wofi feeling like how I wanted, and has become something I am now really proud of. Release coming soon.
I have been working on a Debian rice recently, it has been going greatly. I have a wofi side menu as an app launcher bound to SUPER+Space like MacOs. I would like to emulate similar behavior here, mainly: The shortcut functioning a toggle for the launcher application. I saw a bunch of stuff online about doing this with an ugly shell command, it didn’t initially work in maomao, so I decided to embark on creating my own solution.
