Bad humour. Worse Programmer.

I gave up on "progress" a long time ago so now I'm in the engine room of an overheated old starship running around maintaining the ship, loosening a pressure valve here and there, patching the haul and improving the engine. No way in hell I'm going to submit to the dark empire of bad software and subscription services. I'm a free man! Wait.. gotta go something is overheating again.. shit!

That other one I stole from a tw**t, here is one I cut myself in 856x480.

- Crap, that's me..

Reconfigured all my WM shortcuts to be based on the super key. Takes some getting used to no Alt+F1 and Alt+F4 to open and close a Terminal. They're now Super+t and Super+q.

I'm glad I did though, no more interfering with application shortcuts.

Today I installed Blokada on my kids tablet from the @fdroidorg package manager. That's just awesome. No more brainwashing while playing games.

My waste of time web archive url fetcher got itself upgraded with a Gtk2 GUI.

I've had this as a cli tool since the internet archive wanted me to run JS to find archived versions of websites. I much prefer a simple tool like this with an easy to navigate list of snapshots.

xdg-open kept giving me an error while still succesfully opening http/https uris (probably via mailcap fallback or x-www-browser).

Must be a bug in xdg-open for my DE setup, which is just a WM.

I turned on debug output for xdg-open with XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=3.

Looked fine. Went to the line from the error message and wrote a debug line to print the variables... turns out my Exec entry in the .desktop file was missing a /bin/ in the path. I've got to remember to always assume that it's probably something I did wrong.
