LT HORVÁTHSetting Up SXWM on Ubuntu Server
Instead of the usual rambling, I’ll make a guide for something that I find really fun: setting up a graphical interface on an OS that does not have one. For this, I usually use Debian without a desktop environment. We’ll check this out on an Ubuntu Server because the word “server” emphasizes that it should not have a GUI. But it will!
Power Management Adventures on the Linux Desktop
If you are a normal, well-balanced person, you probably install a distro with a desktop environment, and when you want to change your power settings, you just search for the menu and do it. In my world, this is not how things are done, sorry.
I have already documented what I lost when I switched to a window manager and how I created a new status bar with dwmblocks . Now, the time has come to implement a power management feature.
QMK, Userspaces and a Silly Man
Last year, I had a “beautiful” experience programming my own QMK layout for my keyboards . I was really proud of myself, but shame was on its way…
Birth of a Minimalistic CLI Development Environment - Part II
Last time, we set up vim with no plugins , featuring fabulous capabilities like file navigation, search, and code navigation. This time, we will take care of screen management and automation. So grab your neckbeard and enjoy the ride.
Birth of a Minimalistic CLI Development Environment - Part I
Most of us have one or more automated processes to set up our machine and/or development environment. These solutions grow over time, and with them, the time required to set up a new machine. But no more! The time has come to create a leaner solution because I don’t want to wait 20 minutes. Period.
Creating a Low-Quality Translation API with Language Models
After experimenting with local language models using ollama , the time has come to create something with it. During a conversation, it was suggested that it could be used to automate translation processes.
Changing Between Window Managers Without a Display Manager
This is my BTW moment. I use Debian with dwm, without any desktop environment. I don’t want to change, but if I want to experiment, it can be annoying without a Display Manager.
Running a Rhyming Language Model in a Container Because I Don't Have a GPU Anyway
Some of the conversation around AI I found interesting, and some of it tiring. What I never find boring is running technologies on your own machine.
So I was delighted when I tried Ollama and created my own Shakespeare.
