UnfinishedProjects

Hey everyone! I’m a lifelong tinkerer who’s been running Arch Linux for about 25 years now. I’m a big FOSS advocate and feel most at home in the terminal. If there’s a CLI tool for it, I probably prefer it. I try to not be opinionated and always go by “the Linux community highest power is to offer a tool for everyone’s needs”. There’s no such thing like a best tool or distro. I spend a lot of time writing small scripts in Python and Bash to automate the boring stuff, and I have a mild (okay, not mild) obsession with tweaking dotfiles and config files. Over the years I’ve hopped through window managers like Awesomewm, i3, and Sway on X11, and I’m currently running Niri on Wayland. I also keep a blog where I write about overlooked CLI tools that deserve more love. Outside the terminal, I’m into 3D printing for 6 years now, long-distance trail running (because debugging scripts isn’t enough suffering), and home automation (HomeAssistant). I had a discussion with a friend recently that made me realize that there’s nothing I don’t tweak in my life Looking forward to learning, sharing, and swapping tips with fellow tinkerers! I’d be happy to help with any unfinished projects you’ve got. I mostly throw out wild ideas, but every now and then, one of them actually works PS: I’m also one of the two moderators who have helped @Anthony with this project, so I’d love to see it being successful. That doesn’t mean becoming the cool kid around the blog, but rather to see it recapturing the old Internet vibe I’ve been missing where people come together to build something collaboratively.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and the kind words. Neovim really does everything it can to come across as unfriendly to new users, which is frustrating given how powerful it can be for improving your workflow I’ve tried getting others to use it, but it typically takes a couple of hours just to learn the basics, and then consistent use before it starts to feel natural. That’s too much involvement in today’s world. Are you planning on sharing any of your own projects here?
