Vibecoding Photoshop: Time and Pressure

Native gesture support on Hyprland has gotten so good. I still remember having to fiddle with Fusuma not too long ago. Keybinds can be cumbersome on laptop. Why not key "swipes" for core operations? #hyprland #linux

Spent a day thinking opencode's provider infra was broken. Constant timeouts. Turns out my ISP quietly boofed IPv6 routing and bun's Happy Eyeballs implementation was marching straight into a black hole. Pi was working fine throughout. Silver lining: using pi as daily driver now.

Just upgraded to Omarchy Quattro: love what they did with quickshell. No more hyprlock, elephant, walker, waybar etc. Finally threw out a bunch of old PY/QT tray utils and replaced with proper plugins for coretemp, opencode or even my old abraunegg/onedrive monitor. #linux

Ideas are cheap. Focus is hard. Coders figured this out years ago: nothing beats the terminal when you just want to write. So I built a TUI specifically for authors. helowrite v0.8.79 is out: github.com/burninc0de/helowrite #WritingCommunity #Terminal #Linux

lnav is so ridiculously good for digging through raw logs (nginx, syslog, etc.) and make them actually readable! if you need to chain multiple ones, do quick filters, all just a keybind away. It really is the "htop for logs". Can't believe I discovered it only now. #linux

It's a special kind of pain using a DE keyboard, needing non-deadkey backticks constantly for code docs, while also needing regular deadkey accents so I can ... spell my name. Spent the afternoon hacking together a custom XBD layout and now i can switch modes easily. #linux

I always find it funny when people say "this era will be judged harshly in history books". Like, if we've learned anything from recent world events, it's that nobody reads history books.

First time trying wireless adb on Arch for Android debugging and the connection has been rock solid (unlike on Windoze where it's always been hit-or-miss). Turns out when the OS isn't trying to "optimize" your drivers into oblivion, things actually just work. #archlinux #androiddev
