This post ends the second week in a row of consistent writing. My goal is to publish five or six days a week.

Blog post for today

XFCE Corebootbook, almost, but not quite

In which, I attempt to use XFCE on former Chromebook hardware and find a showstopping bug.

Mentioned @chaslinux in the blog post, as he inspired me to give XFCE a try. I do plan on doing more with XFCE, but it didn't work out for this project.

Well here it goes - my first post of #100DaysToOffload. I made a guide for adding applications to the PATH env variable - I generally gloss over this when writing docs but I thought it would be nice to have a simple and general documentation of how to do so for others without making the docs to busy or off-topic. #oshw #foss

I have plenty of topics to write about, but today's post is a bit meta. It's a blog post about writing blog posts (for the #100DaysToOffload writing challenge).

There's more to it than that, with even a shell one liner for getting the number of posts that I've written so far this year.

My blog post today is about the Tilix terminal emulator (the post was written in neovim with Tilix as the terminal).

Tilix has tiles (and workspaces).

My blog post for today is about the Lua scripts that my son and I worked on today, which is already in use on my website!

https://retroedge.tech/post-2023-01-03-text-processing-tags.html

We wrote a few scripts that are unofficial extensions of the Lichen CMS build script for our own use. They use Lua's text processing capabilities to implement a tag system for the RetroEdge.Tech website.
