Lately I've had the strong urge to work on small tech/programming projects that nobody is likely to care about but me.

Installing Omarchy on an ancient (2012) MacBook Air has led me ordering a replacement battery to address the horrible battery life. For about $30 this laptop that was gathering dust will be a very usable little machine.

So I dug up an old 2012 MacBook Air and installed Omarchy on it. I guess now I'm spending my night messing around with Arch and Hyprland?

We feed our leopard gecko live crickets. There is one remaining cricket in his terrarium that has been chirping all day for the past few days. Come on lizard! Just eat him, he's driving me nuts! 🦎

I'm almost relieved that Omarchy doesn't support dual booting. Now I can stop thinking about replacing my Omakub setup. For now.
