  1. Day 32

    New blog post!

    Syncthing is a continuous file synchronization program. Once installed and configured, it will keep designated directories and their contents synced between multiple devices. I’m currently using Syncthing to sync photos and videos taken with my Android phone with my NetBSD 11.0 desktop.

  2. Day 31

    Learned about `envstat(8)` and use it in a bash script to retrieve my laptop's battery charge percentage.

    I don't use a panel/taskbar in Openbox, but I do always have a terminal window open with tmux running, so I put the battery info in tmux's status line. That way the info is desktop-agnostic.

  3. "Better to reign in hell than share in heaven". Completely bonkers, but Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor connect-the-dots on who is hellbent and how we get to the sharing part instead. Essential reading!

    And for the tech parts a great companion read is "The Nerd Reich" by Gil Durán.

  4. Day 33

    There are times when I find pkgin stalls or is very slow in downloading. I modified /etc/rc.conf to prefer IPv4 addresses:

    ip6addrctl=YES
    ip6addrctl_policy="ipv4_prefer"

    ...and, so far, it appears to have resolved the issue.
