I've been treading water the last months, spending too much time on Linux computer setups and other things that clearly does not speak to my core wishes of simplicity. Lately I've been reading books on Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger,...
I continue to use both Omarchy and MacOS as my daily computers. Some days I feel like MacOS, and some days I feel like Omarchy. I really started to enjoy the tiling window manager in Omarchy (Hyprland), and naturally started to put in...
Decisions decisions.. I have been using both my Omarchy machine and my MacOS (now Tahoe) the last weeks. In the beginning I really enjoyed Omarchy, and I only reluctantly used my Mac when nescessary. However after the honeymoon phase...
I'm about a week into using Omarchy (on a 2017 Macbook), and I've been thinking a lot about how much customization or not I want to be doing on it, seeing that it's more of an exploration than a long-term plan to use this almost...
I finally managed to get my 2017 Macbook up and running on Omarchy. (Yippie!) One of the first things I wanted to get sorted was syncing files quickly between my main Macbook (M1 2020 Macbook) and my Omarchy (the 2017 Macbook) This...
Things I really like about Omarchy The tiling via Hyprland (at least in theory) Keyboard driven usage of the Operating System Straight sharp corners/edges No animation, or adjustable animation between workspaces Frameless web apps...
I’m fascinated by photographers using film cameras, guitarists on plain old tube amps, authors writing books with pencil on paper, and the list goes on. The same goes for Vim (and Neovim) for programmers. It's very pure and inspiring to...
I'm really inspired by DHH and the push for Linux and Omarchy. I even installed Omakub last year on an old mac to get a taste of Linux. Omarchy takes everythin a tad further in customization in a way I really enjoy the looks of. I'll...
(But no one cares… except you.) Exciting? Maybe for you. Your client? Not so much. They probably won’t notice. They definitely won’t ask for it. And they almost certainly won’t want to pay for it. After all, the site still works, right?...
Over the last days I have found it interesting to follow the thread on Reddit regarding the direction Laravel is heading. I am not using Laravel a lot myself, so I follow it rather from the perspective of general software – or even...
I'm more than ever doubting this public blogging thing. I tell myself it's mainly for my own benefit, and I feel the arguments are there for it. But despite this focus, I can't help but having the (non-existent) audience in my head when...
Remember that you can hold multiple, even conflicting opinions about the same person. You can admire or be inspired by certain qualities or accomplishments without necessarily agreeing with all of their views. Yes, even someone as...
I just can't seem to find the right method. I've tried physical notecards, as per Ryan Holiday and Billy Oppenheimer. I found that to be too cumbersome and frustrating, and also had problems with the messiness of it. I tried the digital...
Sometimes I want to display all sub-pages of a certain page together with the parent page in the panel. An example of this is a basic multi-language setup like 3-5 pages in a native language, plus a couple of english pages also. Some...
Following up on my post from last week, I decided to install Linux on an old 2016 MacBook that was just gathering dust. I installed Ubuntu 24.04 and went through the Omakub installer. This post will just be a short note-to-self on how to...
