Recently I have made many improvements on 'hajime', my Arch Linux installation tool and it's companion tool 'make-recov'.
With these tools you can reinstall from scratch within 15 minutes.
Next goal is an installation parameter file, which virtually removes all user interaction during installation. I should call it instalIAtion? :D

Struggling with archlinux package lists...
It is not easy for me to select the latest package file from /var/cache/pacman/pkg based on the package name from pacman -Q.
Any suggestions?

New video about my script validation framework. The two scripts calc-sum and check-sum are based on the default sha3-512sum hash function. I use both functions to generate soll-values and compare them with the ist-value of a specific script on time of execution. Enjoy the video!

Diving into zsh completions. Because I want to build custom definitions for my tools.

Hurray! I am done with the improvement work on passr!

Passr now automatically injects a creation time when making a new entry in the password store. It also keeps track of the number of edits and time last changed via a version number.

Another major new feature is the ability to enter and extract customized key value pairs for other than the default fields. For example an email address or really any custom field.

At least for the time being I will keep the entries format. Which is: 'key: value'. Maybe change to json would be nice, but for now I see no real benefit only more complexity.

I hope that I will be able to make a video on passr soon.

Working on a improved idea regarding creation and editing password files in my beloved tool passr.
Already build in a number-of-edits-counter and laat-edit time.
Also still in doubt to migrate to toml format for the gpg file content. Any ideas?

Lost my passr password-store today.
For an inexplicable reason I found it totally wiped out.
Therefore today I am glad my daily backup strategy - using syncr - actually works!

Made good progress on my file integrity tools lately.

Calc-sum updates sha3-512 checksums in a hash-list.

When executing my scripts I can check the file integrity with check-sum while running. This is a security measure; sometimes I type in a file by accident without noticing. But now check-sum holds the script if the file has changed and the integrity check fails. For remote files this can of course also work as an extra security tool.

Testing tofi as an (dmenu-like) application launcher for Wayland. Because it offers me a horizontal menu structure that I missed so much.

I wish everybody a healthy 2025!

A demonstration of clst, my simple clipboard manager.

It is used in conjunction with the sway window manager from within a terminal running z-shell.
Further dependencies are fzf fuzzy finder and wl-clipboard.

Navigating easily throughout your dir-stack from the commandline with clst;

Plans had changed; no video today. Instead I removed fzf-cpbd from my repo and wrote fzf-clst for managing a clipboard list. I am pretty happy with the workings right now.

Wishing everybody who reads this a Merry Christmas and happy and healthy new year!

I developed the cd-functions, in order to navigate easily through directories from within the commandline.

In this video I show the first and simplest cd-function which is 'cd-up' (C-k).

Dirstack is a shell script that creates a list of unique directories from the history file in chronological order.

The cd-functions, which I have developed to navigate easily through directories from within the commandline, depend heavily upon dirstack.

In this video I analyze how the dirstack variable is been build.

Enjoy the holidays everybody!

And feel free to enjoy my drastically improved shell commands for directory navigation;

dir-stack (C-h) to recall directories from the $HISTFILE, via a convenient chronological ordered list. https://codeberg.org/oxo/dotf/src/branch/main/zsh/function/dir-stack.sh

cd-child (C-j) to easily navigate sub directories. Press C-j again to drill deeper down into the directory stack.

Then there are cd-up (C-k) and cd-yazi (C-l). With the last command mentioned you can use yazi to navigate to a specific directory (there is also a lf variant available).
The commands are making use of fzf and can be get from: https://codeberg.org/oxo/dotf/src/branch/main/zsh/function/cd-funcs.sh

I am currently planning to make a demo video on this command set. Publication will be announced shortly!

I decided to also decentralize my emacs configuration. Carefully. Step by step. :)
