been packing my stuff up lately. it's a weird process.
i've not lived in the space where my things are for like 3 months now, so my mind is kinda separate from them.
additionally, they're all mixed with another person's stuff, so i'm kinda tearing my stuff away from theirs.
it's another layer to the hell that is moving, i guess

So yeah, I'm working on blur for niri. I'm doing "xray blur" first where the idea is that you only include background surfaces, so you pretty much never have to redo the blur—next to zero perf impact unless you have a video wallpaper or smth.

Turns out that it's quite tricky to do well, especially with our Overview. I'm like on my third refactor attempt now but I think I've got a good approach.

During this video there's no reblurring whatsoever, all just drawing cached static textures.

thinking about the notification apps like ntfy, pushbullet, gotify, pushover, et al and how the android apps all have that early days material design look. it's not very pleasing in 2026 tbh

my certs expired yesterday, and i found out this way:

- listening to music via navidrome
- music suddenly stops
- "huh? is my internet down?"
- check news website, which loads
- hit play, nothing
- turn off wireguard
- hit play, nothing
- turn on wireguard again
- ssh into server
- restart service
- hit play, nothing
- go to navidrome in the browser
- "ohhh... right"

DankMaterialShell folks set up builds for Debian, Ubuntu and OpenSUSE, so now it's super easy to try niri & DMS on those systems.

I added Ubuntu commands to the niri quick start guide: https://yalter.github.io/niri/Getting-Started.html

Debian and OpenSUSE here: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:AvengeMedia:danklinux
