I recently started fiddling around with home-managerifying my neovim config.
|
||||
After moving across most of my stuff I came across the problem of how to hook things up with with [nix-colors](https://github.com/misterio77/nix-colors) so that my neovim theme would follow color changes in home-manager.

Luckily, I came across [this](https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-base16.md) handy little plugin from the lovely [mini.nvim](https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim) suite of plugins which lets you create your own theme with your custom colors.

</header><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: ‘oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix’. Next thing you know you’ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<h3 id="the-nub-of-the-problem">THE NUB OF THE PROBLEM</h3>

I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes.

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|
||||
<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber’s templates to be very helpful.</p>

For all avilable options you can check out <a href="https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/options.html">this</a> or alternatively run a <code>man home-configuration.nix</code>. Hope this has been helpful :)</p>

It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I’m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal’s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

I would though like to add the ability to customise the file format you want to use so you could have org, plain text, markdown, or whatever. I’ve got the script set to just run with a keybinding at the moment so it fulfils the immediacy I was enjoying with org-journal.

<p>Apr 6, 2024</p>
|

<p><p>I’ve recently been messing around with writing neovim plugins.
|
||||
When I initially got going I found it a little tricky to know how to get started.
|
||||
There’s the <a href="https://neovim.io/doc">official neovim docs</a> which are great; but in my beginner experience exhaustive to the point of slight impenetrability.
|
||||
Beyond that, the thing I found most useful was simply reading the source of some popular plugins to get an idea of how things worked.
|
||||
I would recommend sticking to plugins with a smaller scope though.</p></p>

After moving across most of my stuff I came across the problem of how to hook things up with with <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-colors">nix-colors</a> so that my neovim theme would follow color changes in home-manager.</p></p>

The thing I’ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you’re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p></p>

Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I’m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

There’s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There’s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn’t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I’ve landed on a simple little setup that I’ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>I recently started fiddling around with home-managerifying my neovim config.

After moving across most of my stuff I came across the problem of how to hook things up with with <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-colors">nix-colors</a> so that my neovim theme would follow color changes in home-manager.</p>

<p>Luckily, I came across <a href="https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim/blob/main/readmes/mini-base16.md">this</a> handy little plugin from the lovely <a href="https://github.com/echasnovski/mini.nvim">mini.nvim</a> suite of plugins which lets you create your own theme with your custom colors.</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>
|
||||
<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>In my opinion, there are moments when the convenience of docker and its surrounding ecosystem can&rsquo;t be beat. I&rsquo;ve been dabbling in the self hosting world and oftentimes the best maintained packaging option is a docker image. As a result of this I&rsquo;ve been playing around with the nixos approach to managing docker containers.</p>

<description><p>Setting up a little static site is something I&rsquo;ve done a few different times on a few different operating systems. It&rsquo;s a slightly fiddly task with a few disparate jobs that all need looking after: ssh, let&rsquo;s encrypt, nginx. In my opinion, it is one of the moments where consolidating all the little bits and bobs you need to setup into one common configuration is very useful.</p>

<p>I&rsquo;m going to go through a bit of the nixos config I&rsquo;ve got for my vps.</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<p>First of all you&rsquo;ll need to enable firefox with <code>programs.firefox.enable = true;</code></p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>
|
||||
<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>In my opinion, there are moments when the convenience of docker and its surrounding ecosystem can&rsquo;t be beat. I&rsquo;ve been dabbling in the self hosting world and oftentimes the best maintained packaging option is a docker image. As a result of this I&rsquo;ve been playing around with the nixos approach to managing docker containers.</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes.

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>
|

<p>First of all you&rsquo;ll need to enable firefox with <code>programs.firefox.enable = true;</code></p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>In my opinion, there are moments when the convenience of docker and its surrounding ecosystem can&rsquo;t be beat. I&rsquo;ve been dabbling in the self hosting world and oftentimes the best maintained packaging option is a docker image. As a result of this I&rsquo;ve been playing around with the nixos approach to managing docker containers.</p>

It&rsquo;s a slightly fiddly task with a few disparate jobs that all need looking after: ssh, let&rsquo;s encrypt, nginx. In my opinion, it is one of the moments where consolidating all the little bits and bobs you need to setup into one common configuration is very useful.</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes.

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>In my opinion, there are moments when the convenience of docker and its surrounding ecosystem can&rsquo;t be beat. I&rsquo;ve been dabbling in the self hosting world and oftentimes the best maintained packaging option is a docker image. As a result of this I&rsquo;ve been playing around with the nixos approach to managing docker containers.</p>

<description><p>Setting up a little static site is something I&rsquo;ve done a few different times on a few different operating systems. It&rsquo;s a slightly fiddly task with a few disparate jobs that all need looking after: ssh, let&rsquo;s encrypt, nginx. In my opinion, it is one of the moments where consolidating all the little bits and bobs you need to setup into one common configuration is very useful.</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>In my opinion, there are moments when the convenience of docker and its surrounding ecosystem can&rsquo;t be beat. I&rsquo;ve been dabbling in the self hosting world and oftentimes the best maintained packaging option is a docker image. As a result of this I&rsquo;ve been playing around with the nixos approach to managing docker containers.</p>

<description><p>Setting up a little static site is something I&rsquo;ve done a few different times on a few different operating systems. It&rsquo;s a slightly fiddly task with a few disparate jobs that all need looking after: ssh, let&rsquo;s encrypt, nginx. In my opinion, it is one of the moments where consolidating all the little bits and bobs you need to setup into one common configuration is very useful.</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>
|

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>

<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>In my opinion, there are moments when the convenience of docker and its surrounding ecosystem can&rsquo;t be beat. I&rsquo;ve been dabbling in the self hosting world and oftentimes the best maintained packaging option is a docker image. As a result of this I&rsquo;ve been playing around with the nixos approach to managing docker containers.</p>

<description><p>Setting up a little static site is something I&rsquo;ve done a few different times on a few different operating systems. It&rsquo;s a slightly fiddly task with a few disparate jobs that all need looking after: ssh, let&rsquo;s encrypt, nginx. In my opinion, it is one of the moments where consolidating all the little bits and bobs you need to setup into one common configuration is very useful.</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>In my opinion, there are moments when the convenience of docker and its surrounding ecosystem can&rsquo;t be beat. I&rsquo;ve been dabbling in the self hosting world and oftentimes the best maintained packaging option is a docker image. As a result of this I&rsquo;ve been playing around with the nixos approach to managing docker containers.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="nix---docker-compose---docker-run">nix -&gt; docker compose -&gt; docker run</h3>
|
||||
<p>To illustrate how to translate a simple example from the world of docker to nix let&rsquo;s have a look at the config for my <a href="https://docs.searxng.org/">searxng</a> instance.</p>

<description><p>Setting up a little static site is something I&rsquo;ve done a few different times on a few different operating systems. It&rsquo;s a slightly fiddly task with a few disparate jobs that all need looking after: ssh, let&rsquo;s encrypt, nginx. In my opinion, it is one of the moments where consolidating all the little bits and bobs you need to setup into one common configuration is very useful.</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>In my opinion, there are moments when the convenience of docker and its surrounding ecosystem can&rsquo;t be beat. I&rsquo;ve been dabbling in the self hosting world and oftentimes the best maintained packaging option is a docker image. As a result of this I&rsquo;ve been playing around with the nixos approach to managing docker containers.</p>

||||
<h3 id="nix---docker-compose---docker-run">nix -&gt; docker compose -&gt; docker run</h3>
|

<p>To illustrate how to translate a simple example from the world of docker to nix let&rsquo;s have a look at the config for my <a href="https://docs.searxng.org/">searxng</a> instance.</p>

<description><p>Setting up a little static site is something I&rsquo;ve done a few different times on a few different operating systems. It&rsquo;s a slightly fiddly task with a few disparate jobs that all need looking after: ssh, let&rsquo;s encrypt, nginx. In my opinion, it is one of the moments where consolidating all the little bits and bobs you need to setup into one common configuration is very useful.</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<h3 id="the-nub-of-the-problem">THE NUB OF THE PROBLEM</h3>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>Setting up a little static site is something I&rsquo;ve done a few different times on a few different operating systems. It&rsquo;s a slightly fiddly task with a few disparate jobs that all need looking after: ssh, let&rsquo;s encrypt, nginx. In my opinion, it is one of the moments where consolidating all the little bits and bobs you need to setup into one common configuration is very useful.</p>

<p>I&rsquo;m going to go through a bit of the nixos config I&rsquo;ve got for my vps.</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>Setting up a little static site is something I&rsquo;ve done a few different times on a few different operating systems. It&rsquo;s a slightly fiddly task with a few disparate jobs that all need looking after: ssh, let&rsquo;s encrypt, nginx. In my opinion, it is one of the moments where consolidating all the little bits and bobs you need to setup into one common configuration is very useful.</p>
|
||||
<p>I&rsquo;m going to go through a bit of the nixos config I&rsquo;ve got for my vps.</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<p>First of all you&rsquo;ll need to enable firefox with <code>programs.firefox.enable = true;</code></p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>Setting up a little static site is something I&rsquo;ve done a few different times on a few different operating systems. It&rsquo;s a slightly fiddly task with a few disparate jobs that all need looking after: ssh, let&rsquo;s encrypt, nginx. In my opinion, it is one of the moments where consolidating all the little bits and bobs you need to setup into one common configuration is very useful.</p>
|

<p>I&rsquo;m going to go through a bit of the nixos config I&rsquo;ve got for my vps.</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<p>First of all you&rsquo;ll need to enable firefox with <code>programs.firefox.enable = true;</code></p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>

||||
<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

In my opinion, it is one of the moments where consolidating all the little bits and bobs you need to setup into one common configuration is very useful.</p>

<p>I&rsquo;m going to go through a bit of the nixos config I&rsquo;ve got for my vps.</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<p>First of all you&rsquo;ll need to enable firefox with <code>programs.firefox.enable = true;</code></p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>

<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>I have an old sad android phone with 2GB of ram which nowadays seems struggles these days. As a result of this I have been &lsquo;podcast-player-hopping&rsquo; without success for the last couple of months trying to find something which doesn&rsquo;t nuke my phone whenever I use it. In a moment of desperation it occured to me that a creative solution might be required. The gameplan was this:</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<p>First of all you&rsquo;ll need to enable firefox with <code>programs.firefox.enable = true;</code></p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>

<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>I have an old sad android phone with 2GB of ram which nowadays seems struggles these days. As a result of this I have been &lsquo;podcast-player-hopping&rsquo; without success for the last couple of months trying to find something which doesn&rsquo;t nuke my phone whenever I use it. In a moment of desperation it occured to me that a creative solution might be required. The gameplan was this:</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>

<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

As a result of this I have been &lsquo;podcast-player-hopping&rsquo; without success for the last couple of months trying to find something which doesn&rsquo;t nuke my phone whenever I use it. In a moment of desperation it occured to me that a creative solution might be required. The gameplan was this:</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>

<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>

<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|

<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>
|
||||
<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|

<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>
|
||||
<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<h3 id="the-nub-of-the-problem">THE NUB OF THE PROBLEM</h3>

<p>I basically just want the config to work out which computer it&rsquo;&rsquo;s on and then change some things accordingly. This can be achieved by getting the hostname with the socket module:</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|

<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>
|
||||
<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<h3 id="the-nub-of-the-problem">THE NUB OF THE PROBLEM</h3>

<p>I basically just want the config to work out which computer it&rsquo;&rsquo;s on and then change some things accordingly. This can be achieved by getting the hostname with the socket module:</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|

<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|

<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>
|
||||
<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|
||||
<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>
|
||||
<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|
||||
<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

After moving across most of my stuff I came across the problem of how to hook things up with with <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-colors">nix-colors</a> so that my neovim theme would follow color changes in home-manager.</p>

<description><p>Sometimes when I&rsquo;m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I&rsquo;ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you&rsquo;re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>
|
||||
<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>

<description><p>For a little while now I&rsquo;ve been running some services (jellyfin etc.) on an old laptop in my house. I&rsquo;m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you&rsquo;d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn&rsquo;t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<description><p>I&rsquo;m a person who has spent an unreasonable amount of time making minute changes to the appearance of my bar in qtile. Despite the very nice selection of widgets availabe by default with qtile, it was only a matter of time before I decided I wanted to experiment with making my own custom widget. Fortunately, if you can do a bit of python this is quite an approachable undertaking.</p>
|
||||
<p>The dream widget I was lacking was a little live crikcet score ticker type thing; something which would scroll along on my bar showing me the score in live cricket matches. I&rsquo;m sure this will interest very few people but I learnt some good stuff along the way.</p>

<description><p>As I fall deeper and deeper down the nixos rabbit hole, I find myself becoming more and more obsessed with controlling every little thing on my computers declaratively. It starts with: &lsquo;oh this is cool I can specify which desktop environment to use in my configuration.nix&rsquo;. Next thing you know you&rsquo;ve discovered <a href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager">home-manager</a> and every program on every linux system you use needs to be controlled in your nix-config. Of course this slightly insane approach has its downsides; it also opens some doors though.</p>
|
||||
<p><a href="https://sr.ht/~misterio/nix-colors/">Nix-colors</a> lets you dyanmically change the theming of programs controlled in your nix config. So when you want to change the color of everything and have it match and all be pretty lol, you are able to do so with one word as opposed to poring over everything changing each individual color. For a certain type of person, this is very nice!</p>

<description><p>This post is going to detail how I solved a very particular problem I had created for myself. First, a quick description of the problem. I use home-manager on nixos to declaratively configure what happens on my computer. In the cases where home-manager does not expose sufficient configuration options for my liking (qtile for example), I instead link a configuration file from my nixos config to where it belongs in my home using <code>xdg.configFile</code>. This is what I do with my qtile <code>config.py</code>. I use qtile on my desktop and laptop but I dont want an identical setup on the two machines. I have jumped through many different slightly silly hoops in my nixos config sort of solving this problem until the other day it occured to me this could all be achieved with my python in my qtile config.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="the-nub-of-the-problem">THE NUB OF THE PROBLEM</h3>

<p>I basically just want the config to work out which computer it&rsquo;&rsquo;s on and then change some things accordingly. This can be achieved by getting the hostname with the socket module:</p>

<description><p>This is my attempt at a neofetch, pfetch, whateverfetch style system info utility. My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn&rsquo;t really try that hard with the portability). I didn&rsquo;t think much about performance; I&rsquo;m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

<description><p>Since getting going with emacs I&rsquo;ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice <a href="https://github.com/bastibe/org-journal">org-journal</a> package. It basically does what it says on the tin: maintains a journal with a selection of org files. This has been very nice for me. I have often thought about journalling but never really got up a head of steam. Somehow having an entry a keybinding away while I&rsquo;m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.</p>
|
||||
<p>Having said all this, I am not completely converted to the church of emacs. Thus, I thoght it would be nice to write a little editor agnostic script which would emulate some of org-journal&rsquo;s features but allow you to use whatever editor you like with markdown.</p>

<description><p>About a month ago I was a little bored and thought I&rsquo;d give emacs a go. There&rsquo;s something fun about trying out these mythical pieces of software that have been around forever; kind of like watching The Godfather for the first time. Like many extensible, super configurable programs, emacs seems kind of impenetrable at first glance. I tried doing the tutorial but kind of glazed over after a while with the endless stream of C-a C-b C-c. There&rsquo;s also the quite jarring default theme which wasn&rsquo;t vibing with the lovely screenshots I had seen on the internet. Anyway, after quite a bit of fiddling I&rsquo;ve landed on a simple little setup that I&rsquo;ve been quite enjoying. Here are a few little pointers to hopefully ease you in.</p>

<h3 id="aesthetic-niceties">AESTHETIC NICETIES</h3>
|
||||
<p>First things first, assuming you&rsquo;re on linux emacs is configured with a file at <code>~/.emacs.d/init.el</code>. As a terrible aesthete, the first thing I was worried about was changing the theme. This can be achieved with <code>M-x load-theme</code>; if you want the setting to persist though you can add this to you init.el:</p>

<description><p>The chess.com API gives you access to a crazy amount of data on games played on the site. Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn&rsquo;t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API&rsquo;s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -&gt;</p>

<description><p>As a man who finds himself reinstalling his OS more than is probably sensible, any opportunity to minimise the post install admin of sorting out all your settings is an attractive one. With that in mind lets take a look at some of the firefox (my current browser of choice) configuration options avilable to you through home-manager. This assumes you have some sort of home-manager setup working. If you do not I found <a href="https://github.com/misterio77/nix-starter-configs">this</a> friendly githubber&rsquo;s templates to be very helpful.</p>

<description><p>There are lots of music players on linux. I have used lots of them, I quite like some of them. But for some reason I decided I wanted more. With this in mind, over the past few months I have been constructing a sprawling ecosystem of bash scripts all geared towards delivering a customised listening experience tailored perfectly to my every need. In short, the setup uses a simple dmenu file manager to browse my local files and mpv to play them. Today I&rsquo;ll be talking specifically about my setup for recording the albums I&rsquo;ve been listening to.</p>
|
||||
<h3 id="lets-get-down-to-business">LET&rsquo;S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS</h3>
|
||||
<p>Whenever I select a file to be played with my script I am effectively selecting a path to a file or a path to a directory with files in it which is then fed to mpv. For example, if I&rsquo;m playing the classic album Lemonade by Beyonce it would look like this:</p>

I’m not trying to sound like a podcast ad but as a networking novice, the simplicity <a href="https://tailscale.com/">tailscale</a> brings to accessing these services remotely is very nice. Until recently though, I had been accessing my services like a heathen with http and port numbers (eg http://tailscale-ip:service-port). This works and is perfectly secure thanks to tailscale though it lacks a certain finesse. In an ideal world you’d have a reverse proxy and set up SSL certs so your browser doesn’t get stressed and you dont have to rememeber ip addresses and port numbers.</p>
|
||||
<p>When I initially looked at how to do this it seemed like it was above my paygrade and not worth the stress; that was until I came across <a href="https://caddy.community/t/https-in-your-vpn-caddy-now-uses-tls-certificates-from-tailscale/15380">this</a>. This works great and is as simple as advertised though there is one drawback: you can only reverse proxy one service per host. So for my usecase of the laptop with multiple services running on it I could only use the magic caddy tailscale auto-https thing for one of them.</p>

<p>As well as solving the multiple services problem, separating services onto their own hosts is nice if you want to <a href="https://tailscale.com/kb/1084/sharing/">share</a> a particular service with someone else. I personaly feel happier just sharing one container running jellyfin rather than the whole host with multiple things on it. Anyway thanks for listening to my TED talk.</p>

My main concern was making something which looked nice, was easily configurable, and as portable as possible (I didn’t really try that hard with the portability). I didn’t think much about performance; I’m personally not a man who stresses too much when a command takes a quarter of a second instead of a tenth. The basic gameplan was to get an array of bash commands which would fetch various bits and bobs, then loop through this array formatting the text with ANSI escape codes. First things first, this was the associative array I came up with:</p>

Armed with the knowledge that this data was at my fingertips, I set out to do what any sane person would do: find en passant checkmates. For those not in the know, en passant check mate is kind of the king of moves in chess meme circles. So some sort of python script that identified en passant check mates that occured on the site would be of great value to me.</p>
|
||||
<p>First things first, I would need a method of grabbing lots of games from the api. This would be achieved by looking at players on the site and searching their game archives. As I couldn’t think of any obvious way to get completely random players on the site, I used the API’s lists of all titled players (GM, IM, WIM, etc.) on the site. This is what I came up with -></p>

</header><p>Sometimes when I’m trawling the internet and happen upon a particularly nice looking website, I develop css and javascript FOMO. The thing I’ve been lusting after above all else is one of those fancy little dark theme toggle buttons. As you can probably tell from the website you’re looking at my web dev skills are limited. As a result of this I had assumed such niceties were out of reach.</p>
|
||||
<p>Last week though I decided it was time for this to change! I would do a teeny bit of javascript. I could have nice things. This is a rundown of the very simple implementation I came up with.</p>
