2025 in review

2026-01-10T00:00:00+00:00

Last year I’ve written a little post about things I was up to, what I enjoyed and what helped me. Enjoyed the process and having a way to look back to it, so here is the one for this year.</p>

4 - Paper (updates to my workflow)

2025-07-06T00:00:00+00:00

Published a new video, figured the rss-only would be a good place to let you know.</p>

Paper (updates to my workflow)</a>.</p>

Open to hear your opinions and about your workflow via the mail in about</a>.</p>

the compose key

2025-06-10T00:00:00+00:00

On a daily basis I use some languages that require non-ascii characters and for the longest time on linux/wayland I’ve struggled to find ways to use these characters.</p>

The Germans characters I’ve just abbreviated:</p>

ä/ö/ü -> ae/oe/ue</li>

ß -> ss</li> </ul>

For the Spanish ones removed all the extras:</p>

é/í -> e/i</li>
ñ -> n</li>

etc.</li> </ul>

And for the Portuguese just the same:</p>

ã/á/à -> a</li> </ul>

Perhaps a bit unorthodox or bad towards the language, but my way to go would be having a buffer with those in /tmp/</code> or looking them up on wikipedia and copying them whenever needed.</p>

But recently I was a bit tired of it and to make new Portuguese flashcards I didn’t want to go use a mac to get nice diacritics on macos, so I figured out it may be worth the time to look into how to use a compose key for hyprland.</p>

Turns out it’s as easy as it could be:</p>

  input = {
    kb_options = compose:ralt;
  };
</code></pre>
(Semicolons because hyprland is defined in nix, not its own config.)</p>
Since then I have (alt-gr := compose</code>):</p>

“[auo] -> äüö</li>
ss -> ß</li>
~[an] -> ãñ</li>
’[aei] -> áéí</li>
[aei] -> àèì</code></li>
</ul>
For obvious reasons this makes writing these characters much easier, but on
telling a friend about that she shared another good way to do it without key.</p>
Vim’s :dig</code>.</p>
An nix inbuilt way of using special characters. Now I don’t need it anymore
because I have the special symbols implemented on a deeper level with the
compose key but would I have known about that earlier I’ve probably not needed
it as everything that is longer than two sentences is already written in nvim
either way.</p>
But I do recommend giving it a look, it has a huge variety of other alphabets
too, most notably for the daily use is the Greek to maybe refer to mathematics,
a theorem or a such.</p>
Can recommend, have fun.</p>


forgot my laptop somewhere (backup update)
2025-06-02T00:00:00+00:00
Recently I’ve commuted back and forth to a city in the south of Germany to
attend a conference for a day. The night I ended up staying at family that
lived closer there but on my way back by train I’ve quickly seen that I forgot
my laptop there.</p>
This post will go through problems that made me discover in my backup system
which I’ve already outlined in the first backup post</a>.</p>
Forgetting the Laptop somewhere is obviously not too tragic, because I knew it
would only be for a few days, but not having access to it illustrated how my
backups work the same as if the laptop got stolen or something else would’ve
happened to it.</p>


Gewissenhaftigkeit
2025-06-02T00:00:00+00:00

The following is based on a conversation had with fellow Andy Russo earlier
this year.</p>
</blockquote>
We’ll do a little expedition into the German language.</p>
“conscientiously” is a weird word, it’s one that Germans use often, but the
translation is not a great one. Or rather the meaning of the German word is lost.</p>
The German word “Gewissenhaft” is put together of 1. “Gewissen” which one could
say describes the feeling you have in your stomach. When you do something with
good Gewissen it’s an action that you think is right and supposed to happen.
2. The “-haft” part does not make sense in itself but here it means something like
“contains”. Such that it ends up meaning “done out of noble idea”, “done with
virtue”, “done up to a high standard” or just “well intentioned”.</p>
In that way you would attribute Gewissenhaftigkeit (the attribution for somebody
to work gewissenhaft) for example to a good politician who after his term is
proud about what he has done or rather has done nothing wrong or against his
moral.</p>
It’s a term I appreciate and that means a lot, it’s what one should strive to be.</p>


Review: Homo Faber
2025-06-01T00:00:00+00:00
preface</h2>
Just two days ago I’ve finished this book for the second time after having read
it the first time around 2 years ago during high school.</p>
As it’s always with reads, that are not incredibly shallow, one comes back to
them, not remembering half of what happened during the first read, but being
able to understand the interpersonal relationships and story better.</p>
With the “Homo Faber” I’ve had that to an great extend and enjoyed it so much
more this time around. Probably also due to being – a tad bit – maturer.</p>


my paperless-ngx setup
2025-05-20T00:00:00+00:00
Yesterday I’ve had a discussion with my partner about organisation. And being at
the intersection of nerd and German I got the need during it to reorganise my
paperless-xng to make documents more accessible and sort them more reasonably.</p>
Having <100 documents in there myself, as I haven’t done anything else than
being in school / uni normally, I could not on my own find good patterns of what
would help very well in sorting them. So came reasonably to the resolution that
there are many many people that will have to sort through thousands of
documents as a sole person or maybe even tens of thousands in the case of a
business, they’ve surely come up with something and indeed they did.</p>


fish
2025-04-27T00:00:00+00:00
For a year now I’ve been using the fish shell and since then didn’t want to go
back. I made the change together with switching to nixos after I saw other
exozyme members using it occasionally.</p>
At first I was worried about it not being posix compliant but I could just use
as a drop-in alternative to zsh which I was using before.</p>
There where a few immediate improvements.</p>
When using zsh I was trying to make it usable and that resulted in an –
admittedly bloated – .zshrc. At the end of my zsh</code> usage it grew to a few
hundred lines, spanning from $HOME</code> to .config</code>. I very much disliked that
and sometimes when I wanted to change something I didn’t even know where to do
it.</p>
It was made in 1991 iirc so I didn’t expect too much of it in that matter.</p>
Fish on the other hand was released 2005 and most importantly since then got
bigger updates occasionally.</p>
It has configuration very well in mind and e.g. has the configuration where it should be in .config/fish</code>, functions as aliases and a pleasant syntax.</p>
Most importantly for me it also has a great vi-mode out of the box that you can enable by running fish_vi_key_bindings</code> in your fish shell.</p>
That makes it also usable on servers when getting a vi-mode doesn’t mean
getting a complex zsh config to run on it but instead installing a small binary
and running a command.</p>

And now today, I’m writing this because after a year of usage I’ve finally read
through man fish-tutorial</code> while waiting for a train and trying to write a
fish script to toggle my waybar.</p>
I’ve been a happy user, enjoying the UX of a good tab-completion and history
search but now I do see the appeal also very much on the script side by it’s
modern simplicity instead of what e.g. bash and zsh have to offer when you
have to know a dozen “-”-flags to write conditionals.</p>
Anthony</a> lately told me about the better simplicity
of fish scripts too, but until now I’ve just opted to still badly writing bash
scripts because I don’t want to bother reading into it too much.</p>
Fish will now be the alternative. I encourage you to read man fish-tutorial</code>
when you installed it and give it a try.</p>
I think in all the cases where people don’t use a specific shell for a specific
reason I’d recommend fish to them because for the normal user it makes just
a little bit easier.</p>


Defaults instead of Habits
2025-04-23T00:00:00+00:00
Derek Kędziora, Defaults instead of Habits
</a>
Earlier today I’ve read this blogpost by Derek Kędziora.</p>
He talks about how habits in the “self help scene”
In this post Derek thinks through how the stereotypical conception in the self-help scene is unproductive towards having success with them.
He mentions that if you go with the “traditional” view on habits then that makes you end up to fear failing the streak a single time leading you to never do it again. Because you have broken</em> it.</p>
He instead proposes looking at habits</em> and perceiving them as defaults instead. That way you can break them occasionally as it’s realistic, but you don’t fear to have broken a streak and instead you go naturally back to how the default.</p>
He mentions a few examples himself but I have another few out of my own life that apply here.</p>


Review: The Sun Also Rises
2025-03-22T00:00:00+00:00
preface</h2>
To start off with, I have reread this book, so I’ll put the old review on the
bottom and the new one on top such that it starts with my most recent thoughts
and you can track how my opinion changed on it, at least with the little little
I’ve written the last time.</p>


Browser considerations and leaving Firefox?
2025-02-28T00:00:00+00:00
preface</h1>
Seems like there are some unwelcome changes going on at Firefox.</p>
A friend sent a link earlier today of a Firefox PR in which the following
question gets removed from the FAQ in the FAQ source code:</p>
- Does Firefox sell your personal data?
- 
- Nope, never have, never will. And we protect you ...
</code></pre>
here</a> is also the link if you want to check it out.</p>
It’s fine that they do want to sell data to sustain themselves. Now that some
problems in funding could come up with the Google anti-trust lawsuit, but still
it makes me not want to use their tool anymore.</p>
My biggest problem is the following, how few (at least usable and privacy
respecting) alternatives exist.</p>
It’s not like with text editors, for which you can select between a dozen good
options, but instead you have a lot of untrusted parties such as Google or
Opera and now apparently also Mozilla. Plus a few tiny players who can’t
compete or even build a competitive Project due to the sheer size that a
web browser needs now.</p>
You do have some Firefox forks like Librewolf or zen-browser, but Librewolf has
its own problem (that being it’s hard to configure with nix) and for zen I
don’t know if the “spying” will just be added there too.</p>
So now I am having my eyes on two other options</p>

qutebrowser</a></li>
nyxt browser</a></li>
</ol>
But with them, even though there is great appeal to them, I am still concerned
about a few things. Mainly the possibility to use an ad-Blocker, as both both
of them don’t really seem to have extensions in the way a chrome or Firefox
has, or even “just” to use uBlock origin</a>.</p>
“conclusion”</h2>
So here a question instead of a conclusion as normally:</p>
If anybody has experience with qutebrowser / nyxt, found a good alternative or
a good way to e.g. just block ads locally, please let me know via mail or
matrix</a>.</p>
I will update this note if I get any good results.</p>


3 - What now if firefox is comprosimed?
2025-02-28T00:00:00+00:00
emacs calculator</h1>
The past weeks I’ve been getting a bit into the emacs calculator but the amount
written on the topic online is far too minimal for such a great tool.</p>
The only very good resource that I’ve gotten recommended by
moksh</a> is a video by
karthinks</a> about latex-previews
in emacs that for some reason also feature a emacs calc demo that intrigued me.</p>
Now I’m searching for somebody that can guide me a little there and has been
using the emacs calculator more extensively than me. I’m mostly just doing
little matrix operations with it and using it interchangeably from how I’d use
gnu octave, but it has so much more to offer that I’m mostly oblivious too or
am just not familiar with.</p>
So if you know more and want to help, please reach out here</a>.</p>
Have a nice day.</p>


2 - What services should I host?
2025-01-31T00:00:00+00:00
my vps server is barely used, any recommendations for what to host?</h1>

This post was accidentally posted in an undone state because I forgot the
pushing no longer only works via git. When you read it now, it’ll be done.</p>
</blockquote>

  
  ⤷</strong> Hetzner cpu usage graph</figcaption>
</figure> 
This blog is hosted on a small Hetzner server with two cores and 4gb ram. But
even tho it is pretty much the smallest one they offer, it still has as good as
no load on it.</p>
Which could in one aspect be seen as good, but I mainly see it as not getting
the worth of what I pay for.</p>
So I’ve decided to host some services that don’t depend on data and are just
meant to be used occasionally.</p>
That way I don’t have to worry about backing them up and can just provide them
without worry.</p>
At the point of writing I’ve hosted the following:</p>
drawio</a></h2>

  
  ⤷</strong> Drawio interface</figcaption>
</figure> 
stirling pdf</a></h2>

  
  ⤷</strong> Stirling pdf interface</figcaption>
</figure> 
uptime tracker (uptime kama)</a></h2>

  
  ⤷</strong> Uptime page</figcaption>
</figure> 
Am thinking about hosting the following too:</p>

penpot</li>
peertube (only for my videos, without other users, but there should be a simpler alternative available)</li>
excalidraw</li>
ntfy</li>
…</li>
</ul>
for whom to use</h2>
I will probably not promote them in any way, maybe just add the status page to
the blog but nothing more.</p>
I don’t want to be accountable for them too much, so primarily I’ll use them
for myself and friends. E.g. to rearrange a pdf there are a lot of weird
programs and websites that make a shady impression, in that situation I’m glad
to just be able to tell a friend that they could use
draw.d-rens.xyz</a>.</p>
But feel free to use them too :).</p>

Switching from pages.sr.ht to nginx on a VPS
2025-01-28T00:00:00+00:00
On the 12th of December 24 I’ve written about switching from hugo to zola and
github pages to zola. Now around 1.5 months later I’ve done a further step and
changed from having the website hosted on sr.ht pages to hosting it myself on a
hetzner server with nginx in a more traditional matter. In the following I’ll
outline why and very shortly some words around it.</p>


1 - Emacs note taking inquiry
2025-01-24T00:00:00+00:00
am thinking about taking notes with emacs, could need advice</h1>
Hey,</p>
when I first started taking notes more seriously I just used neovim with vimtex
and that worked out pretty well.</p>
Now it’s three years later and I think that basic notes should not necessarily
be compiled and there have to be more painfree ways.</p>
Recently I have been dabbling with my doom emacs a little checking how well
that’d work and I do like the mix out of org/TeX/pdf-viewing and other features
like workspaces (which allows me to just save e.g. when I am taking notes on
slides and later restore it easily).</p>
I’ve gotten recommended a video by moksh</a> that
was about latex live previews in emacs and that did seem great, but I am sure
there are also a lot of things that I am hugely missing out on.</p>
I estimate that some of you readers are much more familiar with emacs than I
am, so please let me know what your workflow with emacs is to take notes on
scientific topics (or anything with heavy math notation).</p>
Reach out at contact</a>.</p>


influence of caffeine
2025-01-17T00:00:00+00:00
Early october when I moved away from home to go to uni I did not have a coffee
machine, so I had to decide if I want to drink bad coffee or just stop.</p>
Not wanting such a thing to have any influence on my heart rate and wake
schedule, I then decided to just quit.</p>
As alternative I just went to black tea instead, which I soon realized can also
very easily affect one in the same way after 3-4 cups a day. So I stopped
consuming that too.</p>
That was about 4 months ago. Today I had the little idea of just making a liter
of chai, when coming home exhausted from uni, with too much black tea to just
stay up and work on a programming assignment, but that only went mediocre.</p>
It ended up making me rather agitated and I probably should’ve just gone to
sleep instead of trying to go around natural exhaustion.</p>
I’m currently up and can’t sleep. That has it probably been then for the next
few months, won’t consume caffeine any time soon.</p>
Thought it was rational to get away from caffeine for a longer time now but
when I tried the first time for a few days I’ve went through caffeine withdrawl
symptoms and had a light headache for a few days.</p>
This time it has gone better and I’m glad I did that choice.</p>
Sleep thanks me, heart-rate too.</p>


Book review: Why We Sleep
2025-01-15T00:00:00+00:00
preface</h2>
As you may have seen in the table already, this book represents a 10/10 for me.
It did take me two years–or rather two attempts–to fully get through the
book, I’ve started in the summer of 2022 but didn’t get further than two
chapters and then in the spring of 2024 I’ve managed to finish it within a
week.</p>
It is a very dense book initially and the first try I suppose I just wasn’t
ready for the rather scientific nature, but with reading through the chapters
it slowly dawned on me that the discussion of sleep is of utter importance to
basically anyone. And seeing the value in it I’ve started to pick up the
excitement Walker was able to encapsulate within his writing.</p>
As in the last review I’ll lay down my notes and talk about some related things
and my ideas throughout them, and what’s left of my opinion and such will get
it’s related own section at the end to also be mentioned.</p>


problems with messaging and ideas to fix it
2025-01-05T00:00:00+00:00
One big achievement of the last century is perhaps the advancements in digital,
written, communication.</p>
We went from the closest electronic form of communication being the telegraph
(at least I think so) to emails and from there further to instant messaging.</p>
Those I’d say are the few big changes we’ve had in this period. But what else
changed?</p>
We went from telegraphs having to be sent and received by a professional to then
be carried to you or sent by mail. Furthermore it was not available or normal
for the everyday people.</p>
After some time of mails being available and personal computers being widespread
that was able to become a part of daily life even for the average people.</p>
Then later with the introduction of instant messengers and social media that too
became a notable addition that the average people could use.</p>
But one thing changed rapidly on this step, the inclining speed of communication
and the declining volume of content in the messages.</p>
Instead of it being used for longer form communication, as how email
substituted written mail, it instead just substituted sms and written dialogue.</p>
That also brings it to being used in exchange of talking, by having both parties
writing instant messages as if it were spoken which just makes the conversation
more tedious and slower than the alternative of actually speaking.</p>

Those were my initial thoughts on the topic, now I can come to the idea that
I’ve came here to share.</p>
I think it would be reasonable to have receive and send times for emails and
instant messaging.</p>
Due the volatility of those being different each with a fitting time.</p>

Receiving instant messages each day at 17:00 and sending own ones out at 18:00.</li>
Receiving and sending mails every 1. of the month or perhaps at the 1. and 15.</li>
</ol>
Here you should obviously exempt personal matters such as friends or family
that are around you that could perhaps ask/tell you things relevant within the
periods in which you’d be available (e.g. friend A asks you if you want to go
eat lunch with them or friend B asks you for help on an assignment that you
have to hand in at 15:00).</p>
On the proposed way I imagine I’d much more consciously reply to messages and
more importantly have a designated time for it without being stressed about it
or waste to much time on it.</p>
With instant messaging you occasionally fall into the trap of “wasting” hours
and with designated times:</p>

People would get used to it and know until when to leave messages.</li>
They’d write something more than “Hello” because there won’t instantly
be an answer to form a pseudo conversation.</li>
</ol>

Will spend some more time thinking on how to implement it, I do like the idea
in theory.</p>
I would also be interested in your thoughts, feel free to reach out to me at
the mail here</a>.</p>


2024 in review
2024-12-31T00:00:00+00:00

I never thought to much about years and them ending or starting, but for the
first time I retrospectively thought of it having been a good year.</p>
So I might as well start documenting it for myself such that I can reconstruct a
timeline of what I did in years and at what points I was later.</p>


Backup Considerations
2024-12-30T00:00:00+00:00
preface</h2>
The last few days I’ve been working and battling with my backups and other
recovery devices due to wanting to switch the main nvme drive on my thinkpad
t470 that I use daily.</p>
It was a nice way to ensure recoverability of my whole system on imaginable
incidents that could happen, such as:</p>

device just dies</li>
get robbed</li>
device breaks</li>
lose the device</li>
drive corrupts</li>
I enter a wrong command</li>
</ul>
In the following I go through thoughts and the process of what I’ll change now
to streamline the system to make it a faster recoverable and more reliant.</p>


little efforts that make life easier, eventually
2024-12-29T00:00:00+00:00
There were some efforts I’ve done the last years that have repaid multiple
times by now, want to mention them here individually and talk some sentences
about them.</p>
Order is as follows:</p>

vim</li>
tiling window managers</li>
split keyboards</li>
keyboard layouts</li>
declarative operating systems (nixos)</li>
</ol>
One last comment before starting, the order is taken from the order in which I
stumbeled upon them.</p>


distracting news
2024-12-08T00:00:00+00:00
For the last ~two years I’ve mostly exclusively consumed my news via RSS, chose
who I want to get my input from, in that way selected what my sources of
information will be, who to rely on.</p>
There were some things I’ve noticed throughout the time and it was for once
that I’ve curated my own little bubble of people who share my opinion and then
later formed it.</p>
If we take for example german politics I had two “voices” that I listened to
and got my information from, them being “blog.fefe.de” (tech/pol blogger) and
“lage der nation” (trans. “situation of the nation”, podcast).</p>
I would say of both of them that they have good and strong opinions on politics
and that’s good, the problem was that I have not.</p>
From “fefe” I’ve heard of most news only hours after they happened and
remembered his funny comments and opinions on it. Didn’t understand what was
going on but that’s the part I got. And that’s still not the problem.</p>
The problem then came to be when it came up in discussion with friends and I
thought I had a stance on it but I really had not, because I only knew a
opinion without knowing anything about how the guys I got it from got there.</p>
And german politics here were only an example, it was pretty similar with tech
and other “areas of life”.</p>
Then after I got busy and the RSS reader became a distraction I just shut it
down (as it was running on a server) and didn’t feel the need to have it back
yet, around two weeks later.</p>
I like the idea of RSS, but if I’ll make it run again then I don’t want anybody
on there that influences me in any way and instead just use it to see what friends
are up to on their blogs.</p>
Not taking in too many news or none at all on most days does not feel like a
loss to me. For the most part I really don’t care about what is happening and
then I don’t need to feed my brain with stimulating opinions and things to
worry about that I can not realistically influence.</p>
It’s just useless for the most part.</p>
I would like to know what you think on the topic or if you have insights that I
seem to have forgotten. Feel free to reach out if you have something to add. contact</a></p>


rewriting the website from hugo to zola
2024-12-06T00:00:00+00:00
Hey, haven’t heard from me in a bit?</p>
Was busy with rewriting this website, living life and taking care of another website project that will probably slowly be merged into this blog.</p>
But in the meantime I spent some time on figuring out zola and using that instead of hugo.</p>
I’ve gotten it recommended and not really getting hugo I thought there is not too much that can go wrong with trying to figure it out, so I did. In the following are some thoughts I had along the way, not just with hugo but also hosting the site.</p>


Changing the Domain
2024-04-13T00:00:00+00:00

You probably already noticed if you’re here, the domain has changed from https://d-rens.site</code> to https://d-rens.xyz</code> on the 13th april 2024.</p>
</blockquote>
Why switching the domain?</h2>
I have changed the domain for simple reasons.</p>

Had the domain on namecheap and transfer to porkbun would’ve cost ~$20.</li>
The domain renewal (with .site) also cost $23, after the first year cost $1.96.</li>
</ol>


Handwritten Notes
2024-04-01T00:00:00+00:00
preamble</h2>
The last few weeks I’ve had to do a lot of learning for mathematics, that means
just solving and trying to understand tasks around six hours day (afterwards
the brain stops working). But that has brought me to an issue of the notes I’ve
taken by hand. So time has come to rethink another part of my workflow.</p>


Review: Night Falls Fast
2024-02-09T00:00:00+00:00
Certainly one of the most interesting books I’ve read lately. It’s an issue I fortunately have no experience with but felt the urge to know more about. The author tries to make clear, once the stigma on mental illness and as a colloraly suicide is not as bad anymore in society, then life would be a lot better for those in need.</p>
It is not a problem such as a lethal illness, there is help. And if society gets educated on it then we are able to help those in need and stop the current suicide epidemic.</p>


Review: Stiller
2024-02-09T00:00:00+00:00
Refreshingly different read, the book is made out of six diaries of the protagonist “Stiller” and one of his prosecutor which became friends over the period of his condemnation.</p>
Stiller does not think he is the Swiss Stiller, but an American citizen instead.
During his diaries he finds out about Stiller while beliefing that is a totally foreign guy to him.</p>


Review: Technofeudalism
2024-02-09T00:00:00+00:00
Enjoyed this one very much. Thesis is that capitalism has ended and we are now in the system of “Technofeudalism”. The feudal lord being big tech companies and the serfs e.g. users of their services. Novel thoughts, well written, guided in a discussion between Varoufakis and his dad.</p>


Keyboard Layout
2024-01-23T00:00:00+00:00
Step One – Realisation</h1>
Having typed all my life on qwerty or qwertz I got used to it. I got into
practising typing to gain speed and accuracy, towards the end I averaged around
90 words per minute (wpm) and had a accuracy of >95%.</p>
But at some point I got fed up with it, why did I still use the normal layout?
That has no reason for existing any more and that after I have switched to
a tiling-window-manager, vim and countless other things, just to get the last
seconds off the clock and have the computer do whatever I want it to do as
fast as possible.</p>

long version</h2>
text editors</h3>
neovim</a></h4>
I use neovim due to its extensibility and minimalistic nature. As long as you don’t open 200MB files it will be quick.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nvim</a></p>
(doom) emacs</a></h4>

operating system</h3>
nixOS</a></h4>
nixOS is used for various reasons, I have yet not managed to bring all my excitement about it in text. It offered me a lot of possibilities to learn new things that I otherwise would never have come across (such as secret management, remote deployment, functional programming languages, etc.).</p>
It is objectively the better way to manage operating system configurations and the deployment of it.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles</a></p>

window manager</h3>
hyprland</a></h4>
My WM timeline is bspwm -> dwm -> sway -> hyprland.
Hyprland just seems to be a modern and foremost wayland based window manager that works great and seems to be the future for now.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles/tree/master/item/home/common/optional/wayland/hypr.nix</a></p>
waybar</a></h4>
Waybar is just a primitive bar that does its job, it works well, but I wouldn’t say that I love it.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles/tree/master/item/home/common/optional/wayland/waybar/oscarcp/default.nix</a></p>
stylix</a></h4>
Stylix uses nixOS’ declarative way to manage all your colors, opacities and fonts of all your programs at once, it’s most useful when you don’t have the time to “rice” your system.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles/tree/master/item/hosts/common/optional/desktop/stylix/default.nix</a></p>

security</h3>
borgbackup</a></h4>
Borg does deduplicated backups, it works well and I run it on all my UNIX systems reliably.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles/tree/master/item/hosts/common/optional/borg.nix</a></p>
sops</a></h4>
Sops does secret management for me to access credentials across my nixOS configuration that are encrypted with age encryption.
sops-nix</a></p>
keepassxc</a></h4>
Keypass just takes care of my passwords in a single, encrypted file. It works well and reliably, all the things one would want from a password manager.</p>

file sharing</h3>
syncthing</a></h4>
Syncthing synchronices folders across the devices you tell it to via the local network you are in.</p>
I use it to synchronice my keepass database, books, papers, music and much else between my devices without having to worry much about cloud storage or a man in the middle.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles/tree/master/item/hosts/common/optional/desktop/syncthing.nix</a></p>
croc</a></h4>
Croc does file-sharing not locally but encrypted via a server of theirs or something like that.
You can just use `croc send <file>` and get back a code like `0384-here-three-words` that the other party is then able to enter within their croc to receive the file.</p>
Very handy when you need to send something to a friend and don’t want to have the hassle of uploading it to a messanger and can instead just do it within the terminal.</p>

shell and terminal</h3>
alacritty</a></h4>
Alacritty is one of my “just works” programs. It feels fast and I don’t need a terminal to do any more than letting me write things in it. At the end it’s tmux’ job to multiplex or tab, not the terminals.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles/tree/master/item/home/common/optional/terminal.nix</a></p>
fish</a></h4>
After years of having some hundred lines zsh configs in a weird format I came to the result of “that ain’t it” and seeing ersei</a> using it on their blog I gave it a try.
It’s made to be usable and has by far the best vi-mode on the shells that I’ve tested. It won’t be as minimal as bash or a plain zsh, but it’s just nicely made and fun to use.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles/tree/master/item/home/common/core/fish.nix</a></p>

QOL improvement apps</h3>
keyd</a></h4>
Due to using an alternative keyboard layout I also need some program to remap my things there and keyd seems to be the best solution I’ve found yet. It allows other things next to remapping too, such as combos if I remember correctly, but I have not yet tried that.</p>
It’s a systemd service that starts very early in the booting process and that way I sadly can not unlock my encrypted disk with it, but already login with the different layout.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles/tree/master/item/hosts/common/optional/desktop/keyd.nix</a></p>
nix shell</a></h4>

productivity</h3>
flashcards</h4>



anki</a></p>
Anki is the only good flashcard solution that I trust. It’s open source, has a nice community and just works.</p>
</li>
</ul>
document writing / reading</h4>



LaTeX</a></p>
LaTeX is used for document writing because</p>

i can write it in nvim</li>
it seems great by standard</li>
every solution to problems I could face already exist</li>
community is cool</li>
makes typesetting math easy</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>



sioyek</a></p>
About sioyek I’ve gathered my thoughts in this video</a>, it’s a more modern version of zathura to me, a program that I once loved, and just does a lot of things right.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles/tree/master/item/home/common/optional/pdf.nix</a></p>
</li>
</ul>
handwriting</h4>



xournalpp</a></p>
Xournalpp is for now the only good program I’ve come across when it comes to handwriting notes with a graphical tablet or a tablet-laptop.
Just works, is reliable and fast.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles/tree/master/item/home/common/optional/academia/xournalpp</a></p>
</li>
</ul>

communicating</h3>
iamb</a></h4>
Pleasant TUI matrix client written in rust with vim bindings.</p>
neomutt</a> / abook</a></h4>
Neomutt is one of the programs that I was in love with since I saw them and still am. It is a terminal-ui based email program that works in conjunction with different nice tools such that it makes emailing a great experience.</p>

Contacts are in abook</strong></li>
mbsync</strong> does the imap/smpt things for me</li>
emails are written in neovim</strong></li>
isync</strong> allows me to read and write mails offline</li>
notmuch</strong> could do the indexing</li>
etc.</li>
</ul>
You get the point, it makes writing mails very easy and fast compared to having to use thunderbird, a web program or anything that does not allow you to write them in neovim.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles/tree/master/item/home/common/optional/mail/default.nix</a></p>

else</h3>
Browsing: firefox (with good config)</a></h4>
I initially switched to firefox because I found chrome became horrible but now since then there have a lot of reasons come on top of it, which are:</p>

being able to adjust the recommended search items. Have trimmed that to a minimum, nothing else than my 3 bookmarks are recommended when I search for something.</li>
search engines, such that i can make e.g. `@ar` to make a search `@ar test` query arxiv.org for test.</li>
I can declare the whole config in nixos-homemanager to not have to use a firefox account to keep track of my settings, etc.</li>
</ul>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles/tree/master/item/home/common/optional/firefox</a></p>
Music: mpd</a> with ncmpcpp</a></h4>
Got this off of luke smith, it’s a nice setup to listen to local music with. It also includes a good tag editor in ncmpcpp that makes managing a local collection easier.</p>
mpd</strong> here is the music player daemon and ncmpcpp</strong> is a client for mpd.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles/tree/master/item/home/common/optional/music.nix</a></p>
Application launcher: rofi</a></h4>
Used dmenu before and loved it but rofi is fine too, switched to it when going to wayland.</p>
my config:</em> https://git.sr.ht/~d-rens/nixos-dotfiles/tree/master/item/home/common/optional/rofi.nix</a></p>

The Dactyl Experience</h1>

  
  ⤷</strong> figure 1: picture of the finished keyboard</figcaption>
</figure> 
Preface</h2>
During the last days and weeks I’ve spend some of my time soldering,
configuring and figuring about a dactyl keyboard. Now it is done and I can now
type much more ergonimic and better than I could before, in the following I
will talk about the process and maybe you can get something out of it :).</p>


Workflow (2023)
2023-07-26T00:00:00+00:00
About the setup</h1>
The goal of the workflow is to be ever evolving to be more efficient and
useful. The main application of it is to write LaTeX documents, manage references,
figures, etc. So that one does not need to think about it anymore but
has a good experience using it and the optimal output.</p>

About
0000-01-01T00:00:00+00:00
Hello, I’m daniel, currently CS student at the KIT Karlsruhe.</p>
On the blog</a> I keep track of the projects. To be able to share
thoughts with people and help out people who are trying to do the similar ones.</p>
Generally I have the heuristic that if I’ve spent a lot of time learning
something or have gained an understanding of it that I do have the obligation
to share it. If something was too hard for me to understand with the given
resources to then make the resource that I’d have wanted.</p>
I spend too much on my time on configuring and figuring Linux, you can find my
nixOS dotfiles on sourcehut</a> and
the programs I use here</a> but that may be out of date, check the
date when it was last changed .</p>

Section 2 – Scope.</h3>
a. License grant.</strong></em></p>


Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License, the Licensor
hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-sublicensable,
non-exclusive, irrevocable license to exercise the Licensed Rights in the
Licensed Material to:</p>
A. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or in part; and</p>
B. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.</p>

Exceptions and Limitations.</strong> For the avoidance of doubt, where
Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public License does not
apply, and You do not need to comply with its terms and conditions.</p>
</li>

Term.</strong> The term of this Public License is specified in Section 6(a).</p>
</li>

Media and formats; technical modifications allowed.</strong> The Licensor
authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in all media and formats
whether now known or hereafter created, and to make technical modifications
necessary to do so. The Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any
right or authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including technical modifications
necessary to circumvent Effective Technological Measures. For purposes of
this Public License, simply making modifications authorized by this Section
2(a)(4) never produces Adapted Material.</p>
</li>

Downstream recipients.</strong></p>
A. Offer from the Licensor – Licensed Material.</strong> Every recipient of
the Licensed Material automatically receives an offer from the Licensor
to exercise the Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
Public License.</p>
B. Additional offer from the Licensor – Adapted Material.</strong> Every
recipient of Adapted Material from You automatically receives an offer
from the Licensor to exercise the Licensed Rights in the Adapted
Material under the conditions of the Adapter’s License You apply.</p>
C. No downstream restrictions.</strong> You may not offer or impose any
additional or different terms or conditions on, or apply any Effective
Technological Measures to, the Licensed Material if doing so restricts
exercise of the Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
Material.</p>
</li>

No endorsement.</strong> Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be
construed as permission to assert or imply that You are, or that Your use of
the Licensed Material is, connected with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted
official status by, the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution
as provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).</p>
</li>
</ol>
b. Other rights.</strong></em></p>


Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not licensed under this
Public License, nor are publicity, privacy, and/or other similar personality
rights; however, to the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees
not to assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited extent
necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed Rights, but not otherwise.</p>
</li>

Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this Public License.</p>
</li>

To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to collect
royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed Rights, whether directly
or through a collecting society under any voluntary or waivable statutory or
compulsory licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly
reserves any right to collect such royalties.</p>
</li>
</ol>
Section 3 – License Conditions.</h3>
Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the following
conditions.</p>
a. Attribution.</strong></em></p>

others designated to receive attribution, in any reasonable manner
requested by the Licensor (including by pseudonym if designated);</p>
ii. a copyright notice;</p>
iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;</p>
iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of warranties;</p>
v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the extent
reasonably practicable;</p>

indication of any previous modifications; and</p>
C. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this Public License,

You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any reasonable
manner based on the medium, means, and context in which You Share the
Licensed Material. For example, it may be reasonable to satisfy the
conditions by providing a URI or hyperlink to a resource that includes the
required information.</p>
</li>

If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the information
required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent reasonably practicable.</p>
</li>
</ol>
b. ShareAlike.</strong></em></p>
In addition to the conditions in Section 3(a), if You Share Adapted Material
You produce, the following conditions also apply.</p>


The Adapter’s License You apply must be a Creative Commons license with the
same License Elements, this version or later, or a BY-SA Compatible License.</p>
</li>

You must include the text of, or the URI or hyperlink to, the Adapter’s
License You apply. You may satisfy this condition in any reasonable manner
based on the medium, means, and context in which You Share Adapted Material.</p>
</li>

You may not offer or impose any additional or different terms or conditions
on, or apply any Effective Technological Measures to, Adapted Material that
restrict exercise of the rights granted under the Adapter’s License You apply.</p>
</li>
</ol>
Section 4 – Sui Generis Database Rights.</h3>
Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that apply to
Your use of the Licensed Material:</p>
a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right to extract,
reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial portion of the contents of the
database;</p>
b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database contents in a
database in which You have Sui Generis Database Rights, then the database in
which You have Sui Generis Database Rights (but not its individual contents) is
Adapted Material, including for purposes of Section 3(b); and</p>
c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share all or a
substantial portion of the contents of the database.</p>
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not replace
Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed Rights include
other Copyright and Similar Rights.</p>
Section 5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.</h3>
a. Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent
possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available, and
makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Licensed
Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This includes, without
limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular
purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the
presence or absence of errors, whether or not known or discoverable. Where
disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in full or in part, this disclaimer
may not apply to You.</strong></p>
b. To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You on
any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise for
any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary,
or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of this Public License
or use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of the
possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a limitation of
liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply to
You.</strong></p>
c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above
shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely
approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.</p>
Section 6 – Term and Termination.</h3>
a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and Similar Rights
licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with this Public License, then
Your rights under this Public License terminate automatically.</p>
b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under Section
6(a), it reinstates:</p>


automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided it is cured
within 30 days of Your discovery of the violation; or</p>
</li>

upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.</p>
</li>
</ol>
For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any right the
Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations of this Public
License.</p>
c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the Licensed
Material under separate terms or conditions or stop distributing the Licensed
Material at any time; however, doing so will not terminate this Public License.</p>
d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public License.</p>
Section 7 – Other Terms and Conditions.</h3>
a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different terms or
conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.</p>
b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the Licensed
Material not stated herein are separate from and independent of the terms and
conditions of this Public License.</p>
Section 8 – Interpretation.</h3>
a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and shall not be
interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose conditions on any use of the
Licensed Material that could lawfully be made without permission under this
Public License.</p>
b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is deemed
unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the minimum extent
necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision cannot be reformed, it shall
be severed from this Public License without affecting the enforceability of the
remaining terms and conditions.</p>
c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no failure to
comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the Licensor.</p>
d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted as a
limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities that apply to the
Licensor or You, including from the legal processes of any jurisdiction or
authority.</p>
