The past three months felt very hectic for me, and at times it felt as if I was losing any sliver of control over things that I, personally, wanted to accomplish. Driven by work, fatherhood and sense of impending doom move (which, thank fuck, is now behind us... almost. Fucking never-ending boxes!), the mental capacity that I could devote towards self-expression and creation just.. wasn't there. Yet, as we do, I persevered and managed to get some important fixes out for Hajime as well as the star of this post - Boku.
Boku¶
The goal was, and remains to create a tool that is personal and is a comfortable stop-gap solution to, perhaps, a very small problem, not necessarily something that is feature complete and that can provide a worthy alternative to the hundreds of better tools out there, and so, even though boku can't do everything, I am proud of what I managed to accomplish, because being able to do
tasks:
get_os:
run: uname -s
save_output: os
ensure_brew:
run: command -v brew
install_brewfile:
depends_on: ensure_brew
run: brew bundle install --file ${os}Brewfile
on_failure: echo "Brew has to be installed!"
(for example) to install an OS dependent Brewfile from my dotfiles feels... great.
Boku version 0.2.3 is available on SourceHut.
Important
- I haven't fully figured out how to work with artifacts and releases on SourceHut.
- The documentation is not as full as it should be, but I'm working on it.
TRMNL¶
As I'm writing this update, my TRMNL is just around the corner, waiting to be delivered. Once I have it, I believe the quality and quantity of plugins I make for it will increase. That being said, while waiting for my device to arrive I wrote a Today's Mealie Plan and Miniflux Feed plugins.
Dengonban is still not ready though.
Life¶
- We're having another child on the way! This is sure going to be interesting.
- After 7 years of staying in the same apartment, we've finally decided it's time to move to a bigger place. This was physically demanding, even though we've paid a moving company to move 80% of the stuff. But you know what they say about the 80-20 rule, right?
- Since we've moved, the new place (1 month in) still looks like a warzone as we've yet to figure out where everything needs to go.
