Tools

I've been trying to simplify the tools, setups, and configurations I use daily on my personal machine and want to document some of that here. As I have been working on improving my knowledge of C, I'm trying to use some small(ish) fast tools with codebases I may be able to understand, look to for examples, and even hack on.

Terminal emulator

I've started using foot in the last week or so. So far so good. I may have more to say later.

Text editor

After yet another foray in Helix, I'm back on Neovim. I tried a no-frills config based on a nightly build to play around with using the new built-in package manager and LSP stuff, but I've reinstalled kickstart.nvim for a break from banging my head against the wall.

Other software

Git forge

I've started moving some projects over to Codeberg from Github. I haven't dived especially deep into using it, but so far it does what I need it to do.

News reader

I'm trying Newsboat again. Last time I tried it I didn't have a problem with the software itself. My problem was that I subscribed to too many feeds and eventually gave up on RSS. This time I'm trying not to overload my URLs file.

What's next

I'd love to simplify this site by getting away from a static site generator and maybe even making HTML files by hand. I'd also like to simplify the hosting by using something other than a cloud provider. Whether or not I actually do it is the question because I'm spending my energy elsewhere at the moment, but it's on my list.
