While my novies script was born a few days ago, it already is rewritten to destruction. At least at the moment.

Rewriting is getting rid of intermediate files and will store all fluid information in accociative arrays, so that the entire execution can be done from memory.

So keep an eye on https://codeberg.org/oxo/tool/src/branch/main/novies as it will receive iterative updates shortly.

Happy to announce my shell version of a tix alike clock, named: novies (https://codeberg.org/oxo/tool/src/branch/main/novies).

Lights are customizable in shape, color and their update frequency. A horizontal as well as vertical version can be selected. It is configured for alacritty, but shouldn't be an issue to run in any shell. Not tested though.

I am currently working on configuration options as command line flags and configuration files, to be able to more easily change settings.

#linux #commandline #bash #script #tix #clock

More things resolved on my #linux system;
Within the windows manager #sway floating windows can be snapped to screen edges and corners perfectly. This I reconfigured with less and more simple code!

Yay! Solved the issues with my history stack. Learned that the fc command only works in an interactive shell. Dirstack was related and the issues there are also resolved. Great day!

#oxo #linux #meetup #amsterdam

I'll be in Amsterdam next week. I am going to the public library and try to meet other Linux enthusiasts there. Would be cool if you could attend and, if you can, bring your Linux device too!
Everyone is welcome, no specific needs besides some healthy dose of Linux (and/or stuff like emacs, vim, commandline and shell script) curiosity.
The exact day and time I will announce the day before. Send me a message if you like to join in. Would be cool!

Always have had problems with #protonvpn their app, on #linux which needed all kinds of Python bloat to be installed. Now with plain vanilla #wireguard and and their config files it works like a charm!

Fist version of my Sway keyboard cheat sheet.
#linux #sway #swaywm #cheatsheet

Working on keyboard cheatsheets for main parts of my system. Because I tend to forget functionality that I have build in the past but use only once in a while. I will publish soon for those who are interested. Keep an eye on the repo!
#linux #sway #alacritty #keyboard #cheatsheet

Finally managed to replicate #dwm's mod key plus middle mouse button click behavior. Now also in sway I can switch back and forth from a tile to a float.
See the link for more details (line 692):

I'll be in #Amsterdam shortly, with some spare time at hand.
Would be cool to meetup somewhere if you're interested chatting about #linux #zsh #bash #commandline and other nerdy stuff.
Send me a message if you want to join. Hope to hear from you!

This is a hopeful trend!
