Switching to Alpine

Programs

I've been going back and forth between creating around five different programs in private and trying not to go crazy, so nothing new yet. However, I am close to done on a few things, so expect a couple of releases next month.

For now, here's a preview of what I'm working on:

A screenshot of a work-in-progress GNOME application. At the top is a grey square where a image of a QR code will eventually go, the URL "http://localhost:8000", a "Copy to Clipboard" button, and text at the bottom explaining that a web server is being run by the program.

A screenshot of a work-in-progress application. This uses a menu program called "fuzzel" to display a list of 21 search results from Flathub for the query "rss" (not depicted).

I am not doing well. I went through a lot of rough days during this month, but especially today. I would prefer not to say what I'm going through publicly, so suffice it to say that I'm trying my best to get through this. Let's hope it ends soon.

I'm trying to convince myself to switch from Fedora to Alpine on my laptop, ideally before Fedora 43 comes out (Fedora's already released the 43 beta, so I only have a few weeks).

On a related topic, I'll try switching bars from yambar to something that isn't way too bloated for my needs, and once I either do that, or give up on other bars entirely, I'll publish my config.

Overall, this month wasn't that eventful, but let's hope that next month is more interesting. See you next time!
