I was trying to setup static site generation like Astro but with Leptos. Turns out I already succeeded an hour ago, but I got confused because it was too easy. 😅

Props to @gbj.dev for answering folks on GitHub issues directly. His comments actually helped me to understand how stuff works. 🚀

A Cyberpunk 2077 screenshot that shows my V on a motor cycle with Judy and Jackie standing next to it. In the background, there is an illuminated Ferris wheel.

Fired up Cyberpunk 2077 on my Mac for the first time. The native port is working really well! 🦾

Checked out Graphite. Looks like a really solid vector graphics app. Oh, yeah, also written in Rust. 🤩

As part of my migration to Proton I’m also turning off all my email subscriptions. It’s noise reduction and surprisingly effective.

Not sure if touch screen optimizations are new in Godot 4.5 or if they were there forever. They are awesome on a pen display! 🚀

YouTube video by Katee Sackhoff Alanah Pearce Talks God of War, Game Development and Not Feeding the Trolls

Came across this interview with Alanah Pearce by Katee Sackhoff and it’s really informative. Especially if you’re into creative writing.

Syncing Joplin across multiple devices via S3 is pretty neat. Fully encrypted too. And Markdown notes are so tiny that this entire thing is essentially free.

Unlucky that Asahi Linux doesn’t support my Huion pen display. Huion has Linux drivers, but they’re for x86. Not arm. 😕

Fedora Asahi Remix is already cool, because it lists Godot as dev tool.

Nice way of reposing an old Mac laptop, but Linux is still for terminal folks. It didn’t let me power off, so I had to ‘shutdown’ manually

Still pretty awesome though.

Old M1 MacBook is running Fedora Asahi Remix now. 🚀

I was scouting a bit for Linux laptops and found some tariff numbers that Colorado based System76 shared in a news article. Looks like their necessary markup is higher than customs + shipping that I have to pay when ordering from Europe.

I think that’s wild!

The Neovim/LazyVim color scheme Voyager has WezTerm support now too! Of course, WCAG AAA compliant. 🥳

github.com/kimjbaran/vo...

My WCAG compliant color scheme Voyager might actually be coming to WezTerm. ChatGPT was great for bootstrapping the initial skeleton and the remaining work is not that bad.

Now I have to find a bunch of terminal commands that produce color output though… besides htop. 🙄

Holy moly! Someone actually opened an issue on my accessible color scheme for Neovim!

WezTerm theme might be happening once I’ve get some time… 😅

Finished Stray. Really lovely story and I actually appreciate that it only takes 6h to wrap up.

Reading the WebDAV and S3 API specs side by side makes it quite clear why S3 is so prevalent now. XML is hideous.

Kinda sad, but the move away from American services can go ahead.

✅ Proton (Swiss)
✅ Joplin (FOSS)
✅ OVH S3 (French)

Fun fact: OVH actually has multiple Canadian data centers. And they give you C$270 to try their stuff. Génial!

Loooooooong weekend! 🥳

Drawing is fun and rather soul crushing when looking at the results.

Open Source for the win!

Wacom’s MoveinkPad 11 and Krita work really well together!

I’m biased, but Krita should totally be a default install on that device. 🤷

Wacom Store Canada needs to get their stuff together.

Purchase form doesn’t work in Firefox.

In Chrome, you get an error when submitting.

Second time I can’t buy a Wacom device from them. Pretty wild that this is still Wacom’s official representation in Canada.

macOS Tahoe looks nice. I like the different icon styles.

Fired up Hollow Knight. Mostly because I’m so behind with everything.

It’s quaint! So much attention to detail!

Godot 4.5’s update is awesome! I don’t have any favorite to call out, but dragging & dropping resources into the editor reminded me of Xcode days.

Stencil buffer support looks great too. Looking forward to some games utilizing that!

My new pastime is watching custom and split-keyboard promo shots. High quality and expensive keyboards… and the promo shots show finger picking instead of ten-finger typing. 🤣

Juniper Dev is on a roll with her YT videos. Her latest breakdown of the in-game economy of Hollow Knight makes me want to play the game again.

So many details!

Thought I wouldn’t learn anything today, but then I saw a Hollow Knight video by Juniper Dev.

Learned quite a bit of subtle character movement tricks.

Lospec for color palettes! For pixel art games! It’s rather snazzy!

I got Pixelorama — written in Godot with GDScript — and I’m pleasantly surprised that it can open Aseprite files. Layers, animations, the whole thing! 😲

Orb weaver! Nice! 🕸️
