I need to clean up this page but I'm working on a local(-ish) book collection tool (calling it Livtet for "book head" in Haitian Kreyol). https://www.jacky.wtf/projects/livtet/ has some notes but https://man.sr.ht/~jacky/livtet is much better. It's been fun using Lua to externalize a lot of logic (and I'm looking into using https://github.com/teal-language/tl because I love me some typing.

Outside of that, I've been blogging a lot more (https://www.jacky.wtf/essays/ - August looks so full, ha) and now I'm writing about things I'm reading too (https://www.jacky.wtf/links/). Been doing this to try to ween off social media and rely on places like this to share stuff.

Strong agree. It would even allow for more seamless transitioning between silos and sovereign identities.

Aye. Thanks for linking me. Was wondering why I had a spike in traffic.

This thing has Apple so far up its ass, systemd can't even come out the other end.

Realistically, I blame the father for being so hopeful in people. Living in the 60s should have been a blatant sign that racism isn't only prevalent in the US, it's what it was built on. It's not going away and instead of making them more submissive and obedient to the laws of the land, they should have been more proud what it mean to be Black. It reads like he wanted them to be more submissive. No wonder the kid ran away in fear.

Finishing up a MVP at 4:30 AM EST. No biggie.

Why not split this into sub modules? Like letting Rails have its own portion so that you can add in this like Sinatra, Nokogiri and the likes?

Big fan of Linux (and in turn FOSS projects) so I'm a KDE + Ubuntu (moving to Debian when I can get all of my PPAs in easily) kind of guy. I use Krita/Karbon for slicing up PSDs and making quick vector images, Pencil for wireframes and light mockups and mainly Konsole, Vim and tmux for all of my webdev works (as well as Chrome and Firefox).

As long as you conform to standards, webdev is easy.

I use KDE mainly because it feels a lot faster than GNOME and Unity and because it moves out of the way when I don't need it. And the smart-as-shit rendering engine for Oxygen makes GNOME apps look native to KDE so it's like I'm at home. I use my laptop for gaming and work.
