I’m ricing my Arch Linux install, again.
Previously, I made a custom status bar implementation using eww widgets, to replace functionality I thought was lacking in the current offerings like waybar, polybar, and the likes. I wanted weather integration, Spotify widget with controls and album artwork display and such, apart from all the regular functionality. So my bar and it’s subwidgets were essentially just a huge system of eww widgets.
I’ve also been using i3 for the last decade at least. But now, I’ve finally decided to try Hyprland after visiting their website and falling in love with the smooth animations.
So I’m up and running now with an i3-like control scheme using the hy3 plugin. Now I’m exploring AGS as a widget system, which seems much more promising than eww in terms of setup and clear way of doing things and the library is solid and generic enough for my needs/requirements. AGS is also JavaScript so very familiar as I’m a web developer. It also seems much more efficient in terms of resources and CPU cycles.
It’s looking great so far and I’m thinking about using waybar as my bar, but we’ll see how far that gets me. I might just make a huge widget system again with AGS. It was pretty fun last time, a few years ago.
I’m slowly building a 3d printer using an Ldo Voron Trident kit.
Cool, I’m building up a Voron Zero although I will get started on a Trident after I’m done with the Zero probably.
Built a voron 0.1 last year. Hasn’t gotten that much use lately due to some stubborn adhesion Problems and recurring resulting blobs of molten plaatics all over my hotend and printhead.
We painted this room. Still need to get up the stairs. Had to scrape a lot of paint and wallpaper off.
WOW. This is such a nice job!. I really like the combination of blue and wooden brown. And the plants too. It feels like a high-fantasy book!
Yeah, we were thinking of doing something with the wood, but the blue just makes the wood look better. An unexpected, but appreciated, side effect.
Wow. How old is your home if I may ask?
Funny thing. When we bought the house, they got the city records to see how old it was, and they said it was always just kind of here. So we might be pushing over 200 years? I hate to make any claims though. It used to be a dairy farm before the city built in around it, and lived in and updated many times in between.
Love the Turkish lights. Have a few in our home and they are wonderful.
the wooden trims here look beautiful
Really nice pick of color you have. 3 years ago when we moved, I insisted on the same color for one floor while the other had some similarly-dark off-white, around similarly wooden furnishings.
The dark tone of the blue can be noticeable in cloudy weather and winter light, but never regretted the tone.
Here’s the before.
I can see why the original owners went with yellow to brighten the room bit personally I love dark blue in that style of home
Good choice. Your version is much better.
This is a wonderful of color blue
Yeah. I really like it over the Chi-Chi’s yellow.
In the Navy was the name, it’s a Sherwin Williams color, but Home Depot matches anything.
We are looking to redo a lot of our house. I’m going to have to save this color. Thank you. We also have a lot of wood.
I’m very slowly making a Rain World mod. It’s supposed to be a recreation of planet Zebes from Super Metroid and Zero Mission.
I know StevenBlack provides a docker image, but I’ve always wanted a nifty program to generate hosts files. I’ve been working on that. Although I’m not good with programming, I’m trying my best.
It’s not something I can take a picture of but I’m starting my own handyman bussines. I have no idea what I’m getting into and I’m scared. I just feel like I have to do it nevertheless because the alternative is to go back to my old job and I already know what that is like.
I got kinda obsessed with a security policy engine last year and am trying to build a visual novel around it.
The story is supposed to take place in the near future where advancements in medicine and technology have created an implant that allows humans to program their cells’ semipermeable membranes via software using this engine’s policy language. The implant has the promise of preventing all disease since the right policy can regulate what enters your cells. However, in reality, many people suffer side-effects due to having implants with poorly-programmed policies. You play as a tuner who needs to save ailing patients by fixing their implants’ buggy policies.
I’m thinking of making something similar to Trauma Center where there will be these real-time policy tuning games interwoven with sections of VN plot. Of course it’s all ideas and prototypes rn. Nothing ready to show :P
I’ve been working on my rendition of the Super Smash Bros Ultimate theme on piano in my spare time from work. This recording isn’t perfect but this was recorded literally right before a string snapped and scared the hell out of me! I’ve been uploading to TikTok since I’m self taught and no one ever really gets to hear me play and I’m self conscious about it. So I’m trying to put myself out there more to get over my self consciousness!
I’ve also been working on creating a mock Transmission server so I can create a good demo for my side project Similar to the idea behind k9s, I’ve been building a rust-based TUI to manage all your standard
. I’m calling it Managarr. I’m working on getting this demo done and then I’ll be implementing CI/CD. Once I can get this thing into alpha I’ll open it up for contributions since I’m changing code all the time at the moment and it would just be merge conflict hell. Here’s some screenshots!
Writing on the proposal for my phd. Unfortunately not really anything I could show at this point.
Can you share the area of study?
“The effect of Writers Block on PHD proposals.”
Selection bias for clinical trials in the medical industry.
A colleague lent me a book with various yoga poses a few weeks ago and it has massively improved how I feel. Currently I’m working on digitizing it by creating an application where you can choose a pose, and it will be shown on your screen. I never made gui apps with GTK before, so it’s a nice learning experience.
Okay, so not “in progress”, but here’s my last keyboard. Used lots of tools available to the keyboard community, but I laser cut the plate that holds the switches (and the one for the bottom, but that was no big deal), designed and 3D printed the side case, hand-wired the keys’ matrix, configured the keyboard software for the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller, and used infusible ink and the laser to turn blank keycaps into custom ones.
beautifully done buddy
Thanks! I see every flaw, and in particular the color of the keycap legends isn’t what I’d hoped, but it’s been a really good keyboard so far. I’ve been mostly using my own home-builts for work and my home desktop for a few months now.
Which switches did you use? I like the case design too, it’s refreshing to not see your standard boxy keyboard.
Box Jades, which I like quite a bit, but they have already proven to me that they’re only about 90% as awesome as Box Navies. Haven’t tried Zeal Clickiez or any of the more exotic MX, and it’s been decades since I used a buckling spring, but man I love a good heavy clicky switch.
Well, yes, I do work from home. Why do you ask?
As for the shape, the goal on this was no stabilizers, meaning no key could be more than 1.75u wide, and even among those I didn’t want to have buy anything beyond a single full size board’s worth of blank XDA. It was a challenge getting a layout with any symmetry, but I got close, and if I were starting over the only change would probably be something around L-Shift and the backspace and the delete key where Numlock usually is.
Okay, I cheated a bit, as I think it had like 3 or 4 more 1u keys than a 104-key board, but who doesn’t have a few spare 1u lying around?
Knitting a pair of socks for my spouse.It’s from a single skein of yarn that goes from light gray to gray to black. I split the skein up so both socks would end up being the same gray on the leg part, but it’s taking longer to get to the gray than I’d planned so they may have a pair of mismatched socks.
Edit: I can’t html tonight
I too have been on a sock knitting kick! I’m just starting out learning so I haven’t tried knitting two at the same time.
It’s the only way I’ve ever done socks. I admire people who have the willpower/drive to make a 2nd sock after the first one’s completely done, I know I’d just have a bunch of single socks.
Good luck with your socks! They’re one of my favorite things to knit.

I’ve been learning blender and a bit of Unity for the past two months to make Vrchat avatars. I’m currently trying to learn uv mapping so I can finally give my avatar some textures.
It’s really inspiring to see such a wide range of hobbies in this thread
