paranoidxprod··on Resizing windows on macOS Tahoe – the saga continues
Recently getting a new Mac for work, coming from Hyprland has been tough, but I feel like I’m getting there. Aerospace and Karabiner-Elements have gotten me most of the way there. Have had to write a few scripts to get the workspaces working the way I’m used to, but overall I got a significant part of my workflow to mirror my Linux setup, but would still love to get the super+right click to resize working somehow (there is a native way to move windows with ctrl+cmd+left click which was nice).
paranoidxprod··on The new shape of Mixxx 3.0 – Open Source DJing
Recently got a mix board and have been learning on mixxx. If anyone has any general guides for learning to dj in mixxx I’d love to know. Honestly, I feel a little lacking in the fundamentals of digital audio so I’m probably going to focus on that before going too deep, but so far mixxx has been great! It was pretty hard for me to navigate, but that’s 100% because I have no idea what I’m doing. Curious to seeing if the update will help with discoverability.
paranoidxprod··on Vanilla JavaScript support for Tailwind Plus
I mean they mention the built in browser features they use, but make no mention of the actual authoring of the components unless I’m missing something. I’m curious if they’re leaning on existing frameworks for authoring web components or if they’re implementing them from scratch.
paranoidxprod··on Vanilla JavaScript support for Tailwind Plus
Would love to know how they went about implementing these. I always find custom elements interesting. I know the guys over at data-star.dev used one to implement their inspector element, but unfortunately that is also behind pro.

I know Lit is used a lot but I’m always looking for new approaches.

paranoidxprod··on My website is one binary (2022)
From one of these user's most recent posts here https://j3s.sh/thought/blogs-rot-wikis-wait.html:

  p.s. i'm working on a new wiki to replace my website with - something new, from the ground up.

  git.j3s.sh/abyss - stay tuned

I wonder if they'll still be using a similar approach for the new site.
paranoidxprod··on Teal – A statically-typed dialect of Lua
Something to keep an eye out for is Lux: https://github.com/nvim-neorocks/lux. Looks like a promising replacement to Luarocks, but is still pretty early in development.
paranoidxprod··on Plain Vanilla Web
I believe it’s finally enabled by default in nightly builds, so it should be standard soon. I may be wrong and it may have been scoped css enabled, but both are available by feature flags on nightly and plan to be enabled by default by the end of the year.
paranoidxprod··on How to manage tool dependencies in Go 1.24
Most interesting part of this imo was using a separate modfile for tools to avoid version conflicts. This was a concern I saw brought up with regards to `go tool`, but this seems to address them.
paranoidxprod··on Augment.vim: AI Chat and completion in Vim and Neovim
I've would recommend checking out https://github.com/milanglacier/minuet-ai.nvim
paranoidxprod··on Reassessing Wayland
Zoom, Teams and Discord all work for me. I have used Anydesk to remote into other machines, but haven't tried sharing through it myself.
paranoidxprod··on Reassessing Wayland
I only started using "Desktop" linux about 2 years ago when I got my new Laptop. When I first started, I had no idea what the whole Xorg/Wayland story was up until that point. After a bit of research, I tried starting with i3, but could never get it configured correctly to use my laptop monitor and my desktop ultrawide monitor at the same time. After about a month of this, I swapped over to Hyprland and haven't looked back since.

While I never encountered any serious issues that prevented me from using my laptop when I first started, a few things didn't work properly all the time. In the past, I used to have a few issues getting screen sharing working, sometimes I couldn't launch a steam game. Since then, the experience has gotten to the point where I really don't notice any issues. Screen sharing works fine now, I can't remember the last time I couldn't get a steam game to launch. I don't even have issues with electron apps anymore. This is all while running on an Nvidia GPU.

I know there are still issues on things like accessibility, but from someone who doesn't have the time investment into Xorg, Wayland felt pretty good a few years ago, and now I really can't find anything to personally complain about with regards to it.

paranoidxprod··on Ghostty 1.0 Is Coming
Looking forward to this! Had been lurking in the discord for a while but never talked much so I never was able to get a beta key. The Terminal Inspector seems super cool and is what I'm most excited to try out. Seems like it'd be really useful for Bubble Tea [0] apps which I've been having run writing.

paranoidxprod··on Helping wikis move away from Fandom
Just tested a bunch and it seems like `path of exile [skill/currency]` usually ranks the Fandom higher while `poe [skill/currency]` ranks the new wiki higher which is why I never noticed (I actually never noticed because I block the PoE Fandom and pin the new wiki on Kagi)
paranoidxprod··on Helping wikis move away from Fandom
A few years ago, Path of Exile migrated from the fandom to a new site. GGG (Path of Exile's company) even decided to host the new wiki on their servers (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3292958)! At this point, the new wiki ranks higher then the old one, but for a time it was an issue. Interesting to see more cases of games wikis leaving Fandom with how horrible the site is, and hopefully this is just the beginning of a trend.
paranoidxprod··on How I Built My Blog
Josh has some really cool content on his site. The demos inlined within his posts are always top notch. His flexbox/grid articles are the most intuitive explanations of those layouts I've seen.
paranoidxprod··on Amazon employees: 'I'd rather go back to school than work in an office again'
What is the point because I guess I'm missing it. Is a union winning more work from home days for workers as opposed to not having a union and not getting those days not a win in this situation?
paranoidxprod··on The First HTML LSP That Reports Syntax Errors
The LSP space is super interesting right now. Looking forward to diving deeper into/trying this!
paranoidxprod··on Phind-405B and faster, high quality AI answers for everyone
Mostly just Kagi Quick Answer. I use Claude sometimes, but I'll probably up my Kagi plan to try the new assistant soon.
paranoidxprod··on Phind-405B and faster, high quality AI answers for everyone
I was subscribed for about 6 months between the end of last year and beginning of this, but canceled and haven't looked back. The web interface was constantly buggy for me, and they seemed to be very focused on the VSCode extension without integrations for other editors, so I ended up canceling.
paranoidxprod··on Microsoft's 'Recall' feature can't be uninstalled after all
You can also do shift+F10 when a windows install is starting up, then type in `OOBE\BYPASSNRO`. That reboots and allows you to continue without internet and only setting up a local account without needing an online one. Wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft removes this eventually but I do this all the time when setting up new stations for my job.
paranoidxprod··on Building Bubbletea Programs
A lot of the apps need to interface with our ERP's database so I have to build out the interface layer. Since I'm already writing in Go, it's super easy to add a TUI to call the interface layer for testing/ one off interactions. For example, one app has a pretty simple auth rolled into it. I wrote a quick user manager to handle creating and updating users in the database. Recently, I've actually been making more use of Huh since the TUI's usually aren't stateful, but I still really like the model of Bubble Tea
paranoidxprod··on Building Bubbletea Programs
I’ve been writing small web apps for internal teams and Bubble Tea has been super helpful for building TUI managers for these apps. The article does a good job explaining some of the finer details of the library.
paranoidxprod··on GNU Screen 5.0 Released
What do you use Zellij for that isn't covered by Wezterm? I used Zellij in Alacritty and now in Foot, but recently tried Wezterm and the features it offered really seemed to match what Zellij offers. I didn't need two ways to do splits, tabs, sessions so I'm back to Foot/Zellij, but was just curious to your use-case.
paranoidxprod··on Just Use MSYS2 You Say?
I was going to comment a similar sentiment regarding pacman. Having played with a few distros before swapping from Windows to Arch full time last year, pacman was trivially similar to other package managers.
paranoidxprod··on Windows 11 is now enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
OOBE\bypassnro still works. I've been setting up a bunch of new machines recently (last was yesterday) that I've had to connect to a local domain, so this made it so much easier to just make a local account then domain join the machine.
paranoidxprod··on I switched to Vim – and it took me only 6 years to learn it
What do you mean by link? If I hover a Go type, the pkg.go.dev link is at the hover window which I can open with the default `gx`. I guess VS Code will inline the contents of the link?
paranoidxprod··on Helix-gpui: A simple GUI for the Helix editor
Just an editor with modes. Ie in vim you have have the default normal mode (move with hjkl) to move around the code without having to move your hands over to the arrows, insert mode to enter text, visual mode to select text, etc.
paranoidxprod··on Zellij: A terminal workspace with batteries included
This plugin also works well!

paranoidxprod··on Zellij: A terminal workspace with batteries included
Huge fan of Zellij. I really like the discoverability it offers. Felt really intuitive to learn, and now it’s hitting a point where navigation between Zellij and Nvim is getting on par with tmux. Can’t recommend trying it enough!
paranoidxprod··on Introducing Copilot+ PCs
I don't believe there is a workaround for Vanguard (Riot's kernel level anti-cheat) meaning there's nothing you can do on Linux.
