Trying out Vivaldi on Linux
Another browser? Why not. After wrestling with flatpak sandboxing, broken Grammarly, and manual updates in Zen, I found Vivaldi waiting with an apt option. Now I’m CSS-styling tab stacks and accidentally discovering I like the built-in email client. The Linux browser saga continues. See you back on Firefox in 6 months, probably. 🙃
Correcting photo orientation for org-mode in Linux
In org-mode, iPhone photos always showed at a 90-degree angle for me in Linux. Here’s the fix, along with its dwim-shell-command component :)
Traveling to a remote site for work today, got a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather and take a breather.
A good weekend
A fulfilling weekend: gaming, quality time with partners, and engaging tech projects. Good stuff.
Installing Harper on Kubuntu: The Right Way. Maybe.
Remember when I said installing Rust was overkill for a spell checker I use once a month? Well… I lied. Snap packages are for cowards, right? And I also learned a whole bunch of Curl and Rust along the way. Weekend geek project: unlocked.
With recent CSS changes to the blog seemingly holding for now, I’m going for another big one: switching from Hugo 0.91 to 0.158 (the latest available on Micro.blog). Works ok on my test blog… what can go wrong? I’m just waiting for the backups to complete 😬
Started fixing up my CSS.
Earlier, I said I need to move over all my custom-made CSS changes to custom.css from the Tiny Theme’s original CSS file. That’s what I just did. Now let’s see what broke in the proccess.
Using Denote for Email: A manual workflow
Denote wasn’t built for email, but since I’m tired of Apple Mail for long emails, a quick manual copy-paste solves the problem. It’s not a sophisticated workflow, but it works.
Journelly and OSM for Emacs are good together
Fixed OSM in my Emacs after I tracked down the issue to be with visual-line-mode conflict. Been wanting to fix this for a while. While at it, wrote a quick function to pull LATITUDE/LONGITUDE from Journelly’s property drawers and feed them to osm-goto. Good stuff.
In other geek news, I found out about What the Cable a week ago through Mastodon:
GitHub - darrylmorley/whatcable: macOS menu bar app that tells you, in plain English, what each USB-C cable plugged into your Mac can actually do github.com
It’s a nice little app for macOS that gives you a bunch of information regarding what your USB cables are connected to, what kind of cable, and if they’re optimized. nicely made.
