    Ultimate Keyboard Control Task Management – nvim OrgMode

    by

    I’m sure someone is going to try and blast me for talking about OrgMode and then using Vim in the same sentence, because OrgMode is an Emacs thing not a Vim thing and the divide between users of the editors often seems like a holy war. As I said in my article on my issues…

    Manipulating Images from the Terminal

    by

    With my switch to Fedora as my main working operating system I needed to change how I process images for this site. I want images to be small, but still a good enough quality to see. On macOS I used Permute via SetApp to batch process images, but Permute is not available on Linux. So…

    Replacing Downie on Linux

    One of the tools I need to replace as I live on Fedora instead of macOS is Downie, which is used to download videos from YouTube, or other sources. My biggest use of Downie is to download videos of my kids figure skating. My wife is a coach and I often spend competitions at home…

    Add Synology Share to NixOS

    by

    While it’s not all that hard to do, it did take me a bit of digging to figure out how to add my Synology to nixOS. The first thing that tripped me up was a simply mind trick where I didn’t really clue into the fact that I was looking to add a Samba share…
