  1. CW: Setting up a new laptop at work

    - #Nextcloud connected
    - links to config files created in ~/
    - #Emacs compiled, light cleaning of init.el to make sure everything is operational
    - #i3wm setup
    - transferred gpg keys
    - data directory copied to ~/ (static stuff that's too big to keep on Nextcloud)
    - #firefox installed and profile synced

    Still to do:
    - backup the old ~/ drive 'just in case' I missed something
    - chase down the missing applets and notification bits and bobs that i3 requires
    - setup the work VPN
    - find a hub or dongle or something so I can plug more than two USBA devices in at a time
    - figure out which of my tweaks will break my personal laptop, and sort out a more robust way to share only *some* of my config

    Failures:
    - #powerline refuses to behave on this particular #Ubuntu 24.04 installation, so I've fallen back on my bespoke #Bash prompt

  2. One week in, and touch thumb pecking at 12 wpm (peak 28) is... survivable.

    On the pictures: #i3wm on #linux running on #GPDWin4 #handheld.

    Will be modifying it to fit my tactile behind-the-screeen keyboard (which I designed a couple years ago and you can see the PCB of one out of two keyboard modules is in the pictures as well).

    Oh, have I told you yet that it can run #couchbase? ;-)
