My new #Gentoo #i3 setup.
Please don't judge my taste of Music :P.

I recently got the early bird version of @hund @iokeyboards new 65% ISO, hotswap, RGB underglow PCB.

Although it being an early adopter model I have to say that it is already really matured! Everything worked out of the box; the soldering joints of the components are all perfect and the hotswap doesn't feel flimsy at all!

It is a perfect board for newcomers and tinkerers who don't like the awkward and time consuming process of (de-)soldering their switches!

If you use Gentoo and have an adequate amount of RAM I suggest that you create a tmpfs for your portage TMPDIR to reduce the writes to your SSD!

I finally made the step and bought myself a 16GB RAM kit for my workstation!

8GB of RAM was fine for almost everything. But I had to use a swap file relatively often.
Swap files are great and all but they can really degrade the lifespan of your SSD :(.

It seams like Wayland (Sway) is less memory intensive compared to X11 (i3wm)!

The future is coming baby!

I've been now for 3 years on the Fediverse and Linuxrocks.online!🎉

Everything on here still feels new and interesting to me. Let's hope that this feeling never changes!

Currently developing the first XMPP messenger for KaiOS.

I like that you don't have to write any native code to develop KaiOS Apps. It's all HTML, CSS and JS.

I decided to Buy the Nokia 2720 Flip. It set me back 90€, has KaiOS, 4G, WiFi and Bluetooth.

It's a fair deal and future proof-ish because of the 4G modem and KaiOS!

I'm thinking about switching to a KaiOS based phone.
Any recommendation on which one I should choose? (Sub 100$ would be cool)

I’m trying out Void Linux for the first time on my Laptop.

The installation with full disk encryption was really easy thanks to the awesome documentation provided by Void Linux.

Last week I purged all my IDEs and moved to VIM.

My experience so far:
It is a perfectly viable IDE replacement if you are willing to invest some time to configure it to your needs!

@torspedia How is it going with your WM journey? :D

This is also really helpful for learning how to create a basic window manager: http://incise.org/tinywm.html

It's a window manager written in 50 lines of C code with a ton of documentation :).

This is a really cool article about how X window managers work:
