Configurations have been tested, USBs are writing, ISOs are burning, sanity is waning, snacks are on hand.
I’m set to make the move to NixOS on my Framework Laptop. Wish me luck!
Perhaps I’m looking at moving from Arch Linux to NixOS…
Whenever I think of installing or reinstalling my OS, I tend to go a bit crazy installing apps and testing potentially breaking changes so I can decide how to setup the new install.
It’s all well and good until I start doing that pre-backup…
I figured I’d throw my hat into the tabs vs spaces ring. In the context of code, tabs are naturally superior to spaces.
Tabs semantically indicate indentation, which allows for individuals to customise their editor to display them as they choose. A semantic option is also better for accessibility. Further, tabs lead to smaller file sizes.
Spaces should be used for alignment.
Justice just (finally) published IRIS: A Space Opera on their YouTube channel. It’s wicked, and well worth a listen.
Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate it!
Here’s a picture of my pet chicken, Garbin, in a Christmas hat. If it seems a little off, it’s because she really wasn’t cooperative…
This holiday season I’ve been enjoying the collection of Kmart in-store cassette tapes stored by the Internet Archive.
You should be able to find them simply by searching “Kmart December” on archive.org.
Might play them on Christmas day for the family. Assuming they don’t pin me down and turn it off…
I’ve just discovered the super handy hue-rotate CSS filter.
I’m using it as such:
filter: invert(95%) hue-rotate(180deg);
It lets me invert an item, but keeps the colours as they should be by flipping the hue back. I’m finding use implementing it on iframe embeds to force darkmode.
Did tons of work on Adduce today. It now has some RSS functionality, although it still needs some work.

I was scrolling through Fedi and saw the account @tpope@hachyderm.io. I wondered if it was the Vim guy so I clicked on his account to check. His bio didn’t disappoint.
If you read this Tim, thanks for your work.
I’ve just seen this excellent video from Posy. Like all his content, it’s well worth a watch.
