Setup my blog today, and made my first post detailing a Nix flake that I include on all my nixosSystem builds that sets some sensible defaults

Got tricked into writing a blog post better explaining the linux kernel's audit system and setting it up in Nix

Writing a new series on using Nix to configure Wireguard. It's probably overly ambitious as I have had the completed flake done for personal use for weeks now, but writing the blog means redoing it step by step in excruciating detail.

I had to keep cutting scope for each post and now, after typing all day, I finally have... the basic option setup for it. How is writing so hard? Why would a loving god cause such agony?

Feedback welcome, as I think part of my problem is I don't understand who my audience is so I never know what I can leave out and what I should explain further.

Okay, the long awaited, most anticipated, overly masturbated part two is ready for public consumption:

https://blog.xvrqt.com/nix-wireguard-key-gen.html

We're finally, almost, ready to configure Wireguard ​​

Also, I won't have to write any more shell scripts in Nix which I do not enjoy at all.

If you give it a read please let me know! I find it encouraging, and the feedback helps me grow as a writer.

We're finally configuring Wireguard - but we only get a third of the way there in this blog post. Lots of exciting option config stuff tho, and a new blog feature which lets me interrupt myself.

Finally finished* a post I started a month ago on a program I wrote a month before that. A rehash of a project I would tinker on in college.

We're drawing images using a fixed number of triangles and genetic algorithms. Includes instructions on how you can download the program and make your own art from your own images.

You should do it, they would look great at your funeral.
