Reinstalled my computer with Garuda Linux. A much more fun way to delete the disk than dd ing it with zeros. The installation process is super smooth and the desktop is beautiful

Besides, I always wanted the user to be foo and the computer to be bar so that the prompt would say foo@bar

Well… everything I have a keybind for in Qtile, and Qtile itself for that matter, has its own thread now.

Also, I am addicted to Rust now for the same reason.

I can almost guarantee you that my setup is way more responsive than anything you've ever seen on r/UnixPorn, and there's still absolutely no reason why I couldn't rice the hell out of it if I wanted to, I guess. I'm not going to, but I sure could, lol.

Seriously, though, this is why I use a tiling window manager: not because they look cool, but because they allow you to do weird things that save, by my estimate, objectively enough clock cycles that it actually feels faster subjectively. The things that fascinate me the most about Unix based operating systems is a mindset that is, for the most part, older than I am.

Or I would love to be wrong about that last part.

When you look at old-school Unix stuff like Grep, it was faster than it had any right to be, for the simple reason that it literally had to be. The hardware they were working with back then was capable of practically nothing by any standard that is even somewhat modern. I feel like no matter how good our hardware gets, the day that mentality becomes lost to history, is the day beyond which any hardware that could ever exist even in theory will never be enough.

The way I work in 2025. A fun tour through my workstation setup: i3, Firefox, Emacs and shortcuts galore. Theming and translucency. Automated daily routine, including networking, VPN setup, backups and agenda files. Oh, and I use Arch, btw.

ASCII Bewbs

ASCII pr0n that I made a while back by tracing a photo with ASCII characters. I recently dug up the ASCII art and used lolcat to give it a trippy rainbow colorscheme.

you may have noticed that in my introduction and bio i talk about being a maintainer of Papirus icon theme. i'd like to expand a little more on that here
Papirus is an icon theme for desktops that are compliant with Freedesktop icon theme specification. however, we overwhelmingly make icons for Linux applications because that's where our users are.
i really like consistency, so when i got into Linux, icon themes were so mindblowing to me that i immediately started to use Papirus because i like its flat style and colours. and as a bonus, all icons, even full-colour apps icons with complicated elements, are pixel-perfect in this pack. that means it looks so-so neat even on a low-dpi monitors.
fast forward to today, and by contributing a number of icons and generally being involved in development i got invited into Papirus Development Team by the one active original author. he lives in Ukraine, so his regular involvement in the project is not something that should have been expected, and now it appears that there's only me actively working on issues, helping new contributors and merging pull requests. because of life, i can't even find energy to make new icons, so i just do what i can to keep the project alive.
Linux customisation is a constantly changing landscape, but the specification doesn't change much and the icons are reused really often, which allowed Papirus to accumulate 8000 app icons. some of them are for the most obscure software project you've ever heard of, because with the help of open-source development model and documented design guidelines, anyone can contribute, or request, an icon that's missing for them. check Papirus out sometime, if you haven't! and definitely go to our issue tracker if you are interested: https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme

Via @xfce (Alexander Schwinn’s) blog:

After almost two years of work, we are happy to announce the release of Xfce 4.20.

Since Xfce 4.18 a lot of major development happened. Our team added many nice new features, did a gazillion of bug fixes and did various minor improvements. Finally, all that was released for your pleasure.

The major focus during this development cycle was the preparation of the codebase to be ready for Wayland. So that we meanwhile have experimental Wayland support for most components.

My current desktop. #unixporn

i guess i could make an #introduction ?

i started using #linux in middle school and it feels like home to me. i like #openbsd too and ran it on my laptop for a year

i dabble in #rust , and i love #ricing / #unixporn , the #smolweb , and watching #pbsspacetime i'm also #trans and #bi

hope to meet cool people here!!
