#openbsd tinkerer and hobby brewer
I needed to build a spreadsheet today to figure out some cost of fuel I buy over the year at work. Excel here we come. But after getting home and I couldnt stop thinking about this and how simple the spreadsheet need to be, I thought there most be a simpler tool I can use but still get the work done. So after some searching I found sc-im and now Im sitting here trying to learn it but I already wish I would have found this years ago. Also no port for it to openbsd, so might be time to dust off some notes and see if I can make a port out of it also.
After running Alpine Linux on my macbook air m2 for a couple of weeks, it works and the machine seems OK, with a bit of quirks but I really miss OpenBSD. I had my suspicions that it wouldnt go so smooth and it hasnt. So much is different. But atleast I dont have to run macOS so I will take that as a win.
a day out in the sun with 20c, wasnt bad. now back to tinkering with something.
@joel are you still using your keepassxc & syncthing setup?
So llvmpipe worked so good, that I didnt notice I had missed DRM support when I compiled my own kernel. Just pure luck I noticed it because kitty throwing errors at me. Still plenty to learn, but trying to remember its /usr/share instead of /usr/local/share will be hard to relearn 😂​
First day running only Alpine Linux on my laptop at work. I really miss openbsd in more then one way, but I dont miss the fan sound when I dock my laptop into a 34" ultrawide monitor.
I might need to part ways with my ThinkPad X1 at work for some reason and since I dont wanna go back to macOS. I have tried different Linux distros lately and since I have been using OpenBSD at home as my daily driver for years, Im having a hard time adapting to things. Alpine Linux seems to be the choice I will pick.
I might have found that next thing to tinker with, apple silicon + asahi linux + sunshine and then moonlight on openbsd just to play a few games. 😂​
Thomas AdamHello everyone, and Happy Easter!
I've been busy trying to get to this point, and I'm finding it useable enough that I wanted to mention it here.
I'm releasing some code!
cow, is a "Compositor on Wayland", which aims to look-and-feel like mwm and fvwm from X11, but instead, running on wayland.
https://codeberg.org/thomasadam/cow
The README.md (screenshot), and associated config file example should be enough to get you started for now, if you're interested.
There's still a tonne of things to do before I even consider a release -- and no doubt there's a shed load of bugs, etc.
So if you're interested in using a wayland window manager that looks like it's stuck in the early 90s, give this thing a go.
An IRC channel exists on libera.chat -- #cow-wayland if you want to come and say "hello".
Any issues... err, chuck an issue on Codeberg, please. Note that I won't be providing any mirrors of this on GH. Codeberg is where this project is officially hosted.
