  1. New #blog #post: Package Manager Tier List

    https://rldane.space/package-manager-tier-list.html

    Note: this is a very off-the-cuff tier list, using speed as the main qualifier, but the article explains exceptions to that as it goes on.

    The ellipsis image at the end is not a hyperlink. Don't even look at the png filename as if it would be a clue to a URL. Stop that at once.

  12. Updated my blog's CSS so that <code> segments don't look like garbage.

    The problem is that the way the theme is set up, it doesn't differentiate between in-line code snippets (defaulting to a white background) and code blocks, and the default code block color is very dark, and the default code color is also kind of dark, and it was miserable to see, before.

    I started off picking IBM 3270 colors from cool-retro-term, but the default foreground color was too bright for in-line code blocks, so instead I picked an almost-black super-dark green for the foreground color, and a very light green for the background color. So hopefully it's vaguely reminiscent of a green-screen, but light instead of dark, and hopefully doesn't look like... key lime pie, which is what I think it looks like, but oh well. XD
