~/repo for code I write and ~/src for code I didnt.

I used Zola for a while, but at the end of the day there wasnt enough themes available that fit what I was looking for. I ended up messing with the templating engine to get what I needed.

I suggest OP choose Hugo over Zola, in the hopes that they find a theme that suits them best and for the most part prevents them from having to touch templating to begin with.

Where’s the tailscale fork? Thats my current battery sink

Paperlessngx will store pdfs and index their contents for searching. It’s not necessarily meant for books but I think it would work.

I used an ai painting pkugin before…never considered others! I’ll take a look.

I love use tools like mermaid or plantuml. But Ive always faught with formatting (or gave up) instead of editing after the fact. Great idea?

In the same vein, I use draw.io to make architecture diagrams and flow charts.

I forgot about Asesprite! Thats a great tool.

Aseprite was originally licensed under GPL but later made propretary. The fork of the last GPL version is called Libresprite but it doesnt have much activity, I dont think.

I’ve been meaning to get into some image generation type things too. The best self hosted tool I know of is InvokeAI. I’m sure there could be a whole other post (or other community) about image generation tools.

I recently built a site with hugo. Its very easy. You pick a theme, then write some markdown files. And when you need flexibility, you have it for later. I also think it’s the most popular right now, which lends to a lot of themes to pick from and a lot of cpmmunity support.

Thats a great idea. Theres lots of Foss cad tools, and Im sure they have plenty of flexibility even when contrained to 2d.

Can you share pics with this door? How do you walk outside and have it lock behind you?

Use a raid atrray, and replace drives as they fail. Ideally they wouldnt fail behind your back, like an optical disk would.

I’ve used minio briefly, and I’ve never used any other self hosted object storage. In the context of spinning it up with docker, it’s pretty easy. The difficult part in my project was that I wanted some buckets predefined. The docker image doesn’t provide this functionality directly, so I had to spin up an adjacent container with the minio cli that would create the buckets automatically every time I spun up minio.

But for your use case you would manage bucket creation manually, from the UI. It seems straight forward enough, and I don’t have complaints. I think it would work for your use case, but I can’t say its any worse or better than alternatives.

The problem isnt gmail, the problem is using an email for this purpose. Switching to protonmail wont make a difference. If you want privacy, use a different communications protocol. For example, use signal, and if anyone wants baby updates, they better install it too, cause thats the only way you’ll send them.

Has anyone ever used the enterprise version of dbeaver? Does it do as good a job interfacing with nosql databases it does relational databases?

Can you post a pic of your DE? Im curious to know what your cinnamon looks like.

I’ve used this extension for krita, which lets you select part of the image and have an AI draw in your selection based on a prompt. It can work for outpainting, and inpainting, like removing a feature from an image (or adding one). You may have to do some prompt engineering to get the right outcome: https://github.com/Acly/krita-ai-diffusion?tab=readme-ov-file

Upscayl is for specifically AI upscaling: https://upscayl.org/download Its a handy tool to have nearby depending on the type of image work you’re doing.

My drive to nix was so I could simply manage what packages I had installed with a text file. If I removed something from the file, I expect it to be uninstalled. I never found a tool/wrapper for apt to do this.

If you want to start with nixos, I would take whatever distro you are on and install nix and then home manager. Then, you can slowly migrate your user configuration over without starting from scratch. That worked really well for me going from ubuntu to nixos.

Niri looks really cool. I’ve used tiling WM before but scrolling is a unique take, perhaps more productive for some folks?

Nushell is a good one. I do data science for a living and it’d be nice to have the shell handle some small data transformations instead of writing a script in python. But all the syntax and behavior is very different than bash, so I’ve been afraid to start because of the learning curve.
