Computer terminal forever
It is interesting to see that after years of finding new ways to interface with computers, professionals always end up on the terminal. Why the terminal of all things?
Full-text search in Helix
I taught myself vim many years ago. If I remember correctly I played a game that teaches you the keymap like h,j,k,l for navigation. Then I installed a ton of plugins that turned vim into an IDE and for the same reason never used it again. Instead of managing plugins and syncing buffers I ended up using Helix.
3rd level key
I did a rubber ducking session with my brother and we solved a problem that was nagging me for quite some time. In a previous blog post I mentioned that I was not able to use the EurKEY keyboard layout nor map the compose key. If only I had known earlier what the 3rd level on my keyboard is.
Remark42 Authenticate with Codeberg
At then end of each post you can leave a comment. This comment section is powered by Remark42. A highly recommended comment engine. But be aware, there is no SaaS and you have to host it yourself (maybe that is way it is so good). For quite some time the only option to authenticate on my site was using GitHub. As a proud member for Codeberg this had to change.
Hugo and Obsidian
As mentioned many times I am using Obsidian to manage my knowledge bases, websites and documentations. In fact this blog post has been written in Obsidian. With the help of Hugo the markdown files are turned into html. They work pretty well together, except for one thing.
8bit Photo Lab
The app I am using to create the post header images is 8Bit Photo Lab. I cannot praise this app enough. The thing it does is simple. You take an image and run it through a bunch filters (downsampling) and out comes a pixelated version of it. The new image does not compare to the original. With this app you always create something new.
KDE Connect
In my last post I talked about using the KDE window manager and now I am hooked. One thing I really like about KDE is KDE Connect.
Working with KDE
Before switching to Arch Linux I used Fedora/Gnome. Since then I tried other window manager such as sway or hyprland. But they were to complicate to get running properly.
For gaming I am using a Steam Deck that runs Arch/KDE. I decided to give KDE a try on my Arch machine.
Premodern Cube V1
It is time that I start telling you my passion for Magic the Gathering (MtG) and my MtG Cube. For people who live in normal houses: What is Magic the Gathering?
Last tab switching in Firefox
Keyboard shortcuts can make dealing with computers a lot easier. But for some unknown reason they are well hidden secret. This time I found a new shortcut for Firefox and would like to share it with you.
