 3Status update
 4
 5Not weekly anymore, but was it ever?
 6
 7   I've decided to drop the "Weekly" part of the status update posts,
 8   since they were never weekly and -- let's be honest---they aren't going
 9   to be. These posts are, henceforth, just "Status updates". The date
10   range can be inferred from the post date.
11
12   That said, here's what I've been up to!
13
14Void Linux
15
16   Yes, I decided to ditch Alpine in favor of Void. Alpine was great,
17   really. The very comfy apk, ultra mnml system... but having to maintain
18   a chroot for my glibc needs was getting way too painful. And the
19   package updates are so slow! Heck, they're still on kernel 4.xx on
20   their supposed "bleeding" edge repo.
21
22   So yes, Void Linux it is. Still a very clean system. I'm loving it. I
23   also undervolted my system using [1]undervolt (-95 mV). Can't say for
24   sure if there's a noticeable difference in battery life though. I'll
25   see if I can run some tests.
26
27   This should be the end of my distro hopping. Hopefully.

31   Yeah yeah, enough already. Read [2]my previous post.

33This website
34
35   I've moved out of GitHub Pages over to Netlify. This isn't my first
36   time using Netlify, though. I used to host my old blog which ran Hugo,
37   there. I was tired of doing this terrible hack to maintain a single
38   repo for both my source (master) and deploy (gh-pages). In essence,
39   here's what I did:
40#!/usr/bin/env bash
41
42git push origin master
43# push contents of `build/` to the `gh-pages` branch
44git subtree push --prefix build origin gh-pages
45
46   I can now simply push to master, and Netlify generates a build for me
47   by installing [3]vite, and running vite build. Very pleasant.

49mnmlwm's status
50
51   [4]mnmlwm, for those unaware, is my pet project which aims to be a
52   simple window manager written in Nim. I'd taken a break from it for a
53   while because Xlib is such a pain to work with (or I'm just dense).
54   Anyway, I'm planning on getting back to it, with some fresh inspiration
55   from Dylan Araps' [5]sowm.

59   I've been reading a lot of manga lately. Finished Kekkon Yubiwa
60   Monogatari (till the latest chapter) and Another, and I've just started
61   Kakegurui. I'll reserve my opinions for when I update the [6]reading
62   log.
63
64   That's about it, and I'll see you -- definitely not next week.
