I tried Github Pages with Jekyll and it didn’t go well. Couldn’t see the theme when it went live. Jekyll seems like last decade. Hugo ain’t no walk in the park either. What the fuck is the situation with static site generators, is this the best it can be?
Fuck Emacs. (😆)

I am struggling with NixOS. Installing an old version of Pycharm Professional is the challenge and even ChatGPT doesn’t know how to do it. So called experts on the NixOS Discourse are providing answers to similar questions from people who just want to install something in their system outside of nixpkgs and even they are routinely getting it wrong.
How to install Pycharm 2021.3.3, when that is not the latest, packaged version? It’s very frustrating and forcing me to consider getting out of the Nix world.

Happy to be a contributor to Denote which is a simple Emacs package for notetaking. I really like it. My contribution is just documentation, but there is more to come as I learn Emacs - possibly some code on protecting journal files from accidental duplication.
We now have automated builds for this site on Sourcehut, which I have recently started using.

Been reconfiguring computers. Running a mixture of Pop_OS! and Arch Linux on two of them now. One of my machines running OpenBSD is dying and another had problems, so I wiped one of them.
I like so much about OpenBSD but I wanted to switch back to Linux for a while. Linux is more performant and has better tooling available for software development and that’s what I’m focusing on at the moment. This will change at some point, but for now…
The purpose of a budget is to help thy purse to fatten. It is to assist thee to have thy necessities, and insofar as attainable, thy other desires. It is to enable thee to realise thy most cherished desires, by defending them from thy casual wishes. Like a bright light in a dark cave, thy budget shows up the leaks from thy purse, and enables thee to stop them and control thy expenditures for definite and gratifying purposes. – The Richest Man in Babylon
