I'm adding Google Ads to my blog to:
- learn more about Google AdSense
- attempt to offset the my advertising costs for learn.wpcarro.dev
I may need to surround the <script></script> tags with markup to positions the
ads optimally. I will publish this first, see what it looks like without any
markup, and then progress.
My Emacs automatically trims trailing whitespace when I save a buffer. As a
result, this diff appears whenever I edit the baseof.html file. Instead of
continuing to ignore the diff, I'm committing it.
Started working on my debut blog post about giving up my cell phone during
march.
I'd like to publish this post by the end of the month, once I conclude the
experiment. At that time, I'd like to change the voice of some the content to be
past test. For now, I'm dumping ideas here while they're fresh in my mind. I
will refine and prune the final post later.
To create new posts, I run...
```shell
hugo new name-of-post.md
```
While writing posts, I run...
```shell
hugo serve -D
```
I need hugo available on PATH environment variable, which lorri provides.
Write a function that accepts a rotated cycle of alphabetically sorted strings
and returns the index what should be the first element if the elements were not
rotated.
Instead of creating my own static website generator, I'm trying Hugo. Huge is a
newer alternative to Jekyll. So far, I like what I see.
- Ignoring /blog/public since this is where `huge -D` generates the static
assets.
- Using a TailwindCSS theme.
- Creating a dumby post about Emacs to test deployments.
- Deleting all Common Lisp and Nix code that powered my previous, half-baked
blog.
- Add a max width to constraint the width of the content
- Add horizontal padding to improve readability on handheld devices
- Reduce the font size of all headings
With this simple change, Nix should copy the static directory and all of its
contents to /nix/store and return the path to that directory.
See TODO for more what I would have liked to do ideally.
Adding a personal introduction, overview of coding, pricing, and contact
information.
Also using a CDN to install TailwindCSS, which the TailwindCSS authors
discourage, but I don't want to setup a complicated build process at the
moment.
See the README.md for more context about this project.
TODO: I configure nginx to serve static files from /var/www/learn. I'd like to
symlink /var/www/learn to briefcase/learn as part of my `rebuild` script, but I
don't currently.
readTree uses the output attribute set of default.nix as the value for
nixos.socrates, which disables me from resolving nixos.socrates.rebuild since
there is no rebuild attribute in the output attribute set from default.nix.
If I rename default.nix -> configuration.nix, I can resolve
nixos.socrates.{configuration,hardware,rebuild}.
Nix complains that `nixos.socrates` is not a function but a set. By adding
`{ ... }:` to the top of the file, I'm hoping to change it from a set to a
function.
I'm currently setting NIX_PATH in ~/briefcase/shell.nix. This means when I call
`nix/rebuild-emacs` from a buffer that is inside the briefcase directory, the
command succeeds because NIX_PATH is properly defined. When I call
`nix/rebuild-emacs` from any other location it fails.
I'm hard-coding the NIX_PATH in this command so that I can call
`nix/rebuild-emacs` from any buffer that is currently active.
I patched home-manager locally to support fzf keybindings for fish. I will PR
this into home-manager, but I haven't yet, which means that my home.nix file
depends on my local ~/home-manager.
I've been consistently using vterm enough that I don't think I will change
shells anytime soon. Couple this with my previous commit where I hint that I'd
like to curb all terminal usage if possible, and it seems unlikely that I'll
want to keep this terminator configuration.
As I pruned increasingly more dependencies, the few dependencies that desktop
and laptop hosted were too trivial for me to justify supporting. And so, I no
longer support them.
Support commonly used programs like fd, exa, bat, etc.
For now, I'm unsure how to manage the programs in my emacs/default.nix with my
home.nix. I'll wait until I have a stronger opinion to handle this.
Prefer starting lorri with home-manager.
Note: I could have removed the `systemctl --user start lorri.service` line
before switching to home-manager by calling `systemctl --user enable
lorri.service`. This would have made a symlink in
`~/.config/systemd/user/default.target.wants`.
I haven't used Tmux for months.
I also suspect that using the terminal in general may be a crutch. Ideally I
could replace everything I do in the terminal with Emacs analogues. Perhaps one
month I'll force myself to work without a terminal to see what happens.
While I do still technically own a Google cloudtop device, I haven't used it in
at least six months. In the interest of pruning non-critical dependencies, I'm
deleting it. I can alway restore it thanks to Git.
I didn't port everything from .ssh/config to home-manager. I omitted a few hosts
that I don't connect to anymore. I also omitted the `corp-ssh-helper`
configuration.
