I've done it again. My personal website is no longer generated with [barf](https://barf.bt.ht) but is instead built on top of [[ikiwiki]]. The old RSS feed ([bt.ht/atom.xml](https://bt.ht/atom.xml)) still exists but will no longer receive updates. The new feed can be found on the bottom of the homepage ([index.rss](/index.rss))
## Why a Wiki?

+title: My Text Editor Is Not Open Source
+---

I've been using Sublime Text on and off for longer than I can remember. I think Sublime has been around since the start of my "real" career over 10 years ago, but I could be mistaken[^1]. It certainly *feels* that long. And in that time I have never gotten upset with Sublime. I've never rage quit or ran into an issue of Sublime not being able to *do the thing I wanted it to do*. As much of a cliche it may sound: it just works.
Even when I switch editors (VSCode, Geany, kitty+vim etc.) for a period of time, I find myself always coming back to Sublime. The only reason I try other editors is simply that: to try them. Maybe that's why these editors don't click with me. Maybe I'm giving Sublime an unfair advantage since I'm simply "testing" other editors, rather than looking for a solid alternative.

As you can clearly see, my site's domain has switched over to **btxx.org**. This post will go into details about the reason for this URL swap (spoilers: I'm a cheapskate) - but that isn't all. I have moved my personal git repositories over to my own hosting. I will explain the reasoning for that switch as well.
But enough introductions, let's get into it!

+title: Website Backups with Apple iCloud
+---

My main work machine, an M2 MacBook Air, meshes really well with my iPhone SE (they are in the same ecosystem after all - duh!). Since both of these devices are Apple products, it makes sense that I pay for the optional iCloud service for extra storage. 50GB to be exact. I only need to bare minimum which costs just $1.68 a month, making this storage option cheaper than most cups of coffee these days.
Recently I've been using iCloud as my "middle-man" backup system. I still have local, offline storage for most personal data but having additional off-site backups is never a bad thing. I make things easier for myself by taking advantage of `rsync`. You'll need to make sure you have that program installed before trying this yourself:

-
-With the recent release of OpenBSD 7.5, I decided to run through my [personal OpenBSD "installer"](https://git.btxx.org/open-suck/about/) for laptop/desktop devices. The project is built off of the `dwm` tiling window manager and only installs a few basic packages. The last time I updated it was with the release of 7.3, so it's been due for an minor rework.
-
-While making these minor changes, I remembered how incredibly easy the entire install process for OpenBSD is and how *cozy* the entire operating system feels. All the core systems just work out the box. Yes, you need to "patch" in WiFi with a firmware update, so you'll need an Ethernet connection during the initial setup. Yes, the default desktop environment is not intuitive or ideal for newcomers.
-
-But the positives heavily outweigh the negatives (in my opinion):
-
-- Incredibly secure operating system (No `xz` drama here...)
-- Detailed documentation. Probably one of the best of any OS
-- Much smaller codebase and small core team
-- *Complete* operating system (kernel, userland utilities, libraries, applications combined)
-
-These points might not seem important to others, but they are to me. Maybe you're possibly interested in checking it out yourself? If you are, then read on...
-
-## Try it Yourself!
-
-I've tried my best to write up a simplified, noob-friendly guide on both setting up the core OpenBSD system, along with installing a simple `dwm` based desktop environment. These are both focused on personal devices (laptops/computers), so if you're looking for server-specific setups you won't find that here!
-
-You can find both of those wiki-pages below:

-- [Setting up a Desktop Environment for OpenBSD](https://btxx.org/wiki/openbsd/desktop_environment/)
