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 home-manager 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.

Nix-colors 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!

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 this friendly githubber’s templates to be very helpful.

First of all you’ll need to enable firefox with programs.firefox.enable = true;

Of course I am sure there are many more exciting things that could be done here but this is as far as I have got. For all avilable options you can check out this or alternatively run a man home-configuration.nix. Hope this has been helpful :)

December 1, 2022

Since getting going with emacs I’ve gone down the org-mode rabbit hole a little bit. In particular the very nice org-journal 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’m doing something with my text editor makes it a lot more palletable.

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.

@@ -89,12 +89,9 @@

As simple as it is, it works reasonalby well as it stands. 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. You can find the script here atm. BYEBYE xxx
