• #Gear

  • Keyboard/Computer
    • Lofree/Flow84 Flow84, the Smoothest Mechanical Keyboard
      • via Person/DHH at Getting Started · The Omarchy Manual · DHH
        • You'll need a keyboard that either uses a 2.4ghz dongle or a cable (which is much nicer for latency anyway!). I personally love the Lofree Flow84!

• Curiosity

  • Omarchy looks really cool.

    • Great #Docs ! I really want to get a FrameworkCo/Laptop/13 and use Omarchy for my primary.
      • One big thing that would stink - Ableton/Live would likely no longer work.
        • Anyone had any luck with live 12 on linux? : r/ableton
          • Some people say that using ProtonLinux ALMOST gets it to work, but it gets stuck on Max for Live.
            • #Discovered that Valve's Proton is actually a fork of WineLinux
      • Installing Omarchy in a VM on an M* Mac · basecamp/omarchy · Discussion #452
      • Mac Support · The Omarchy Manual · DHH
        • As of v3.0.0, Omarchy has built-in support for Intel Macs. There are a couple of known limitations at the moment, but as long as you're aware and OK with those; you can breathe some new life into your old Macs by loading Omarchy.
        • Please note that installing on an M-series Mac is not directly supported at this time. You can find out more about the state of this in #omarchy-on-other in our Discord.

        • Omarchy only supports being the only OS installed at the moment. During the installation, the drive will be wiped and MacOS will no longer be bootable.

  • A bit more on Nix/Package/Manager

    • YouTube/Fireship/Nix in 100 Seconds
    • Best Way To Manage Project Dependencies | Nix Shells - YouTube
    • Person/Forrest Knight/YouTube/25/06/im sorry nixOS ive failed you
      • My take-away is that I think Omarchy is likely better for my health than Nix/OS, but I'm not against trying Nix/Package/Manager inside of DevContainers.

• Techniques

  • git/submodule
    • took a few good notes in YouTube/@philomatics/25/05/Why everyone hates git submodules
      • YouTube/@philomatics runs git #Training classes for teams; he has quite a few videos on #git

• On #Good Design and #PKM

  • Took another look at Person/Maggie Appleton/Garden and appreciated the little details (yet again)
    • came across Person/Maggie Appleton/Essay/25/ai-enlightenment; love the "Assumed Audience" callout at the top
    • She has an "Antilibrary" for books she hasn't read yet. Neat framing. I could use this!
      • Person/Maggie Appleton/Garden/Antilibrary

        • Antilibrary of Maggie Appleton

          • "Books I like the idea of having read"
            

        • Some really cool books in here.
    • Person/Maggie Appleton/Talk/24/05/Home-Cooked Software and Barefoot Developers
      • Updated Dev/Barefoot with definition Maggie's talk on home-cooked software and barefoot developers
      • Created person page for Person/Clay Shirky - writer, technologist, and educator who first proposed the concept of Software/Situated in 2004, and filled out that page as well

• Reviewing Recent Podcasts

  • Earlier this week, I listened to Person/Gergely Orosz/Podcast/25/10/Beyond Vibe Coding with Addy Osmani, which was probably the 2nd time I listened to his podcast, The Pragmatic Engineer. The first time I listened to it was Person/Gergely Orosz/Podcast/25/10/Python Go Rust Typescript AI Armin Ronacher
    • Created Programming/Language/Feature/Context/Local page with definition of context locals (storage that flows with logical execution flow, essential for async/await and promise chains)
