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. diff --git a/_posts/New_Domain_and_Code_Forge.mdwn b/_posts/2024-01-29-New_Domain_and_Code_Forge.md index 8039d8d..e2f451b 100644 --- a/_posts/New_Domain_and_Code_Forge.mdwn +++ b/_posts/2024-01-29-New_Domain_and_Code_Forge.md @@ -1,3 +1,8 @@ +--- +layout: post +title: New Domain and Code Forge +--- + As you can clearly see, my site's domain has switched over to **btxx.org**.

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`.

The project is built off of the `dwm` tiling window manager and only installs a few basic packages.

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.
