Should I install SteamOS on my PC
Maybe I’ll install SteamOS on my PC that is currently running Fedora Workstation. Since I only use the PC for gaming it would be a more streamlined experience, especially for casual gaming with a controller. Other games like World of Tanks that have their own launcher are better handled inside the desktop mode which also makes it easy to use Discord. I’ve been thinking about this for the last month or so and I will probably do so after the current ranked season of World of Tanks ends.

Music to Suppress Racing Thoughts
… I have lots (lots) of racing thoughts. Music was a way make them go away for some time, but what’s the point? Those are my thoughts, and they are there for a reason. by Michał Sapka I also have a lot of thoughts that I should process before going to bed. So this might be the cure! Don’t know if I will manage to limit my music listening too much but it should be worth a try. I say while writing this post and having music on in the background.
fzf (fuzzy finder)
fzf is a simple command-line fuzzy finder. It is also very customizable with the way it behaves and looks and also easily installable through Homebrew. The following function is the one I have added to my .zshrc file on my macbook. f() { FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='/opt/homebrew/bin/fd --type f --hidden --exclude .DS_Store' \ fzf --style full \ --padding 1,2 \ --preview 'fzf-preview.sh {}' \ --bind 'result:transform-list-label: if [[ -z $FZF_QUERY ]]; then echo " $FZF_MATCH_COUNT items " else echo " $FZF_MATCH_COUNT matches for [$FZF_QUERY] " fi ' \ --bind 'focus:transform-preview-label:[[ -n {} ]] && printf " Previewing [%s] " {}' \ --bind 'focus:+transform-header:file --brief {} || echo "No file selected"' \ --bind 'ctrl-r:change-list-label( Reloading the list )+reload(sleep 2; git ls-files)' \ --color 'border:#aaaaaa,label:#cccccc' \ --color 'preview-border:#9999cc,preview-label:#ccccff' \ --color 'list-border:#669966,list-label:#99cc99' \ --color 'input-border:#996666,input-label:#ffcccc' \ --color 'header-border:#6699cc,header-label:#99ccff' }
Ulysses Novel Structure
Since I use Ulysses for writing I found two blog posts (though quite old) by Matt Gemmell about how he sets up his Ulysses workspace for novel writing. I mostly use it to write blog posts and also notes but I want to write a novel sometime in the future. August 16, 2017 November 30, 2018
Ambition as a Life Compass
Losing ambition is a slow loss of yourself. Without it, every choice feels arbitrary, every achievement fleeting. You start to question why you’re even moving, or worse, if you should move at all. The energy that once carried you forward turns inward, leaving doubt and restlessness in its place. by Raccoon’s Trash Can Defining ambition as a compass is a great way of viewing it. I feel like mine got smashed into a thousand pieces some time ago. I’m still trying to find my way again - not rushing, just trying to orient myself.
I'll Start Tomorrow [Animation]
Needy Programs
Programs that have their own agenda and that are trying to make it yours, too. Programs that want you to think about them. Programs that think they are entitled to a part of your attention. “Pick me” programs. And you know what? Fuck these programs. Give me back my computer. by tonsky
Start NOW! not next Year
In my eyes, New Year’s resolutions are nothing more than a coping mechanism, a psychological crutch. They’re just another way of saying “I’ll start tomorrow, not today.” A specific date makes inaction feel justified, even responsible. If you actually want change, you don’t wait for permission from a calendar. on Raccoon’s Trash Can
