As I dive into my senior year at RIT, I have a lot less time to explore software configurations: new plugins, workflows, and the software that accompanies them, all take too much time to learn and incorporate with my current workflow. As I’ve written before: Spacemacs does 90% of what I want to do, but […]
Finding a server setup that was not a mess, stable, and sustainable long term has been a bit of a problem for me. In the beginning, there were bare metal installs When I got my home server 3 years ago, I had all sorts of services I wanted to put on it. Owncloud, Gogs, ZNC, […]
I love tiling window managers: I’ve used i3 for years, and ever since I started learning Haskell, I was curious about Xmonad. However, during my i3 experience, I missed a lot of expected features from a full desktop environment (consistent themes, background support, notifications, system trays, etc.) Since running your own window manager with GNOME […]
Gogs makes it pretty easy to mirror another repository. Github… doesn’t. While it’d just be easier to move my Gogs repository to Github, that would mean changing the remote of 3-4 local repositories. And, I wouldn’t learn anything. Hooks, glorious hooks Since Github won’t watch our Gogs repository, we’ll have our Gogs repository watch itself. […]
I started exploring Emacs around 10 months ago, mostly using Aaron Bieber’s posts on the subject to get started. I went into the transition with high hopes: the incredible support and extensibility of Emacs had me thinking it was simply a superset of Vim. I could do everything I do in Vim in Emacs, and […]
A few months ago, I tried to start a Node project to further explore web development. It’s the LAN equivalent of a Jukebox: people go to the site, add music from Youtube or a file, and the song is put into a queue. The server has a speaker, through which it plays each song. The […]
Okay. Net Neutrality is: – the thing that lets Netflix load as fast as Google, because data is treated equally – the thing that lets you host comcast-should-die-a-fiery-death.com, and, despite Comcast reaaallly not wanting to let users connect to that, is forced to allow users to do so – how you can retrieve any sort […]
This is a conclusion to my other two posts. If it can be called a conclusion: I wasn’t on the right track. Or any track at all, really. I knew what HID was, so that’s a start. Someone much more knowledgeable than me has set up a button swapping tool based off of InputRedirection, which […]
If you’re continuously posting, discussing or following anything political on social media, particularly this past week, I need to ask you to do something: please be careful of what you post, share, or say. Not because any one side is too fragile or ignorant to handle the truth, but because “the other party is too […]
Off and on over the past month, I’ve set up astronautlevel2’s BootNTR fork, imthe666st’s NTRClient fork (a debugging tool for NTR), and have played around with reading and writing to the HID Shared Memory of the 3DS. The results have been… underwhelming. The entire “plugin” for NTR is an object module (in the general case, […]
