 8I've decided to drop the "Weekly" part of the status update posts, since
 9they were never weekly and---let's be honest---they aren't going to be.
10These posts are, henceforth, just "Status updates". The date range can
11be inferred from the post date.
12
13That said, here's what I've been up to!
14
15Void Linux
16----------
17
18Yes, I decided to ditch Alpine in favor of Void. Alpine was great,
19really. The very comfy `apk`, ultra mnml system... but having to
20maintain a chroot for my glibc needs was getting way too painful. And
21the package updates are so slow! Heck, they're still on kernel 4.xx on
22their supposed "bleeding" `edge` repo.
23
24So yes, Void Linux it is. Still a very clean system. I'm loving it. I
25also undervolted my system using
26[`undervolt`](https://github.com/georgewhewell/undervolt) (-95 mV).
27Can't say for sure if there's a noticeable difference in battery life
28though. I'll see if I can run some tests.
29
30This *should* be the end of my distro hopping. Hopefully.

32PyCon

34
35Yeah yeah, enough already. Read [my previous post](/blog/pycon-wrap-up).

40I've moved out of GitHub Pages over to Netlify. This isn't my first time
41using Netlify, though. I used to host my old blog which ran Hugo, there.
42I was tired of doing this terrible hack to maintain a single repo for
43both my source (`master`) and deploy (`gh-pages`). In essence, here's
44what I did:
45
46``` {.shell}
47#!/usr/bin/env bash
48
49git push origin master
50# push contents of `build/` to the `gh-pages` branch
51git subtree push --prefix build origin gh-pages
52```
53
54I can now simply push to `master`, and Netlify generates a build for me
55by installing [vite](https://github.com/icyphox/vite), and running
56`vite build`. Very pleasant.

58`mnmlwm`'s status
59-----------------
60
61[mnmlwm](https://github.com/minimalwm/minimal), for those unaware, is my
62pet project which aims to be a simple window manager written in Nim. I'd
63taken a break from it for a while because Xlib is such a pain to work
64with (or I'm just dense). Anyway, I'm planning on getting back to it,
65with some fresh inspiration from Dylan Araps'
66[sowm](https://github.com/dylanaraps/sowm).

71I've been reading a lot of manga lately. Finished *Kekkon Yubiwa
72Monogatari* (till the latest chapter) and *Another*, and I've just
73started *Kakegurui*. I'll reserve my opinions for when I update the
74[reading log](/reading).
75
76That's about it, and I'll see you---definitely not next week.
