Since I need something to start writing more, here is a summary of things I've done in August of 2025:
I should probably rewrite/clarify "Low Standards" at some point.
I haven't worked on any public programs, mine or otherwise. However, I still programmed. My workflow when writing/creating a program is to create a program (e.g. through GNOME Builder or as a random folder in my "programmin" folder), work on it a lot until I decide it's good enough for the public, and then I upload to my Codeberg account. When the software is ready, it'll be made public.
School's started back up again, and these first few weeks have been a bit stressful. I have a weird situation for school, and I was originally not enrolled for my electives, leading to me getting frustrated. However, that issue seems to have been as much resolved as possible.
School is a source of stress for me, and I frequently use programming to escape that stress. Hopefully, this means I'll release something new Real Soon Now.
I used to daily-drive Debian on my desktop computer. A few days ago, I decided to attempt to upgrade from Debian 12 (my current version) to Debian Testing. However, in the preliminary upgrade to Debian 13, my system got messed up, and broke audio (a priority), among other things. Even though I had made a full disk backup prior, I decided this would be a good opportunity to switch to Alpine, and to use Niri instead of KDE (not to discredit KDE; I just prefer the scrolling tiling workflow, and Karousel doesn't support multiple monitors, like my setup). I'll post something about that once it's in a state I'm comfortable with.
That's about it. See you in the next one!
