Japan diary, day151

I restore my old old laptop, Lenovo S21e, NetBSD + i3 + drawterm.
I couldn't install 9front to emmc of this.
There might be better ways to do this, but for now, I can use an old machine like a 9front terminal (^_^).

#netbsd
#i3
#drawterm
#9front

In case anyone else finds it useful, I have gotten around to cleaning up my personal emoji picker (created after my rofimoji installation broke one too many times; so now it’s in Go which doesn’t break), so in case you’re using #i3 and are looking for an emoji picker:

https://github.com/stapelberg/emoji-picker-for-i3 is the one that annoys me the least ;)

I configured it in my i3 config on key binding Super+M for “M”-oji 😂

Try it out on Nix-enabled systems, like #NixOS:

nix run github:stapelberg/emoji-picker-for-i3

I can't imagine going back to the alt-tab hell that is floating window managers.

If you're still using a floating window manager and haven't taken the time to investigate a tiled window manager, I highly recommend taking a look.

I used to have dozens of abandoned xterm windows because I had a hot-key, ctrl-alt-d, that would open a terminal.

Now I have ctrl-alt-d open a pane on the side with a tmux session open in an xterm. A second press of ctrl-alt-d hides that pane.

It's been a game changer.

#Linux #i3

In the spirit of #SmartHome tinkering and looming amount of video recorded, I’ve been thinking about building a home NAS.

The hardware costs an arm and a leg these days, but I still have an old #MSI mainboard with some shitty #Intel #i3 CPU AND there’s 2 sticks of 4G and 2G DDR3 RAM.

I’m still missing everything else - a case (preferably 1U and appropriate CPU cooler), power supply, decent low profile GPU and the glorious nail to this shitty coffin - hard drives…😂

And there’s energy bill…🤡

Nach Probefahrten mit #DaciaSpring gebraucht, e #Twingo, BMW #i3, #Ora3 300, #Zoe mit Hundegeruch & Zoe ohne Hundegeruch.

Nach Besichtigung von Dacia Spring neu und VW e Up, Citroen eC3 hat man sich für eine Gebraucht Zoe mit Schnellader CCS und 50kwh für 15.000€ entschieden. Rückfahrkamera wird nachgerüstet.

Fazit: Vermeidet Autohaus Tabor.

Es ist gar nicht so einfach einen gebrauchten e #Kleinwagen zu finden.

Window Managers

Window managers on macOS (and Windows) are auxiliary programs that try to complement the system’s own handling of windows, and are not as powerful as X11 window managers. However, (...)

Road tripping in the city ev. More leisurely than I'd like, but when fast charging works, it just works. The one charger that refused to connect was the one setup by GM and looked like you were pumping jet fuel with all the emergency shut offs with arrows and big red letters.
