Playing Subnautica again: why cheating sometimes make things better
Revisiting Subnautica with a new perspective: strategic cheating. It makes the game actually enjoyable when your brain works like a browser with 47 tabs open. It also helps me be a little bit less scared. Don’t judge me just yet! That’s what this post is for.
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.
