Ok, we're off i3/X now, workstation builds will use sway/wayland from here. In the grand tradition of sharing dotfiles, here's how I provision machines:

The rate at which the Haiku (and BeOS before it) interface responds always makes me feel like I've been walking through tar on other operating systems. I'm not sure what it is, why it has always seemed fast, but if you haven't tried Haiku before, you owe it to yourself to do an install and feel what it means to have a snappy, immediate interface, despite minimal hardware requirements and (some) design which is now at least 30 years old.

I owned a MessagePad 2100, an eMate, and an original iPod, and I never realized until now that the original iPod had the same processor as the eMate. This realization, circa 23 January 2025, rekindled a latent memory that my eMate was always so much slower feeling than my MP2100. Is any of this useful? What even is existence?

This blog post is old, but remains so relevant I bothered to find it again today, fresh off a move from i3 > sway, having fought more demons than I needed to fight to receive no incremental functionality.

"But the Linux desktop as a whole does not offer the seamless functionality that people need, because it is designed with software tools as the end goal and not with the user experience supported by software tools as the end goal. Cause and effect, reversed. Because it's not a product. It's a bundle of tech. And until this mindset changes (extremely unlikely), the Linux desktop will never get past its 1% share."

Ok, so I wrote a bunch of go to make riverrun work right, and it does, almost. But Icecast won, so then I pivoted hard into Icecast orchestration, and the repo went from go to shell. Just have to make the ices2 stream service pull from the proper directory and then we'll have something we can execute on any debian box to produce a working radio station which takes community contributions. https://github.com/davidemerson/riverrun

Typesetting is up to the plays now, the worst thing to typeset in this whole book, but it's been a fun experience so far. Lugones will have his day in English soon.

It's boring to just scan for open queues on your network. Give the people something to do while you're at it. This follows up a scan with a one- or two-page print job meant to be dramatically re-enacted, by passers by. https://github.com/davidemerson/drama

Decent amount of strain on that urethane fold there @changbai, but within limits of the material ... I need to quit before I start simulating the strain on laces sewn through the holes too.

Can't even make a wallet nowadays without finite element analysis. At least I know how it folds, in urethane or vegan leather. #theWorkshop

As if we needed more reasons to buy used books when you do buy physical books, yet another is the lagniappe. My 3rd Edition of "The Oxford Dictionary of English Proverbs" came with this class photo in it as a bookmark, dated on the back "1950" but without any other identifying marks. So now we have proverbs -and- a mystery.

Does anyone know a decent quality print on demand service I can use to publish a translation I'm working on? I know Amazon KDP, and I've looked at IngramSpark. I am not impressed with the hardback quality for either. Does anyone do cloth bound, something simple with a foil stamped spine?

Finally got my reading site built out. I sacrificed a long history in storygraph, but sometimes a reset is for the better. This list goes back to about 2021, at least, and it's more fun to own your own reading notes than to have them sequestered in a third party database.
