Anki is amazing

I'm finally actually learning music key signatures, and at a quick rate as well

maybe it's because of me using FSRS instead of SM2?

it's so weird going back to a project you haven't touched for months

feels like you don't know what's going on and the code feels too overwhelming

and then you find out that half of it is written horribly

proxmox has now crashed twice during this week (due to what I think is out-of-memory)
I guess it's still my fault, though, since my VMs use more RAM than what is available
...and I'm moving some of the VMs to a different distro during this

alpine linux is amazing

funny how each of my 3 windows installs always ended up in some weird broken boot BSOD state after just one year of use, but i'm still using the same arch install from 3 years ago...

don't you just love it when your new server gets flooded with SSH login attempts?

phone trees are much better than AI "assistants" that don't understand half of the words I'm saying

why does javascript make LINKS to object data instead of COPIES when I assign something the value of an object property???
at least structuredClone exists so that I don't need to write more code to avoid this

imagine getting blocked by cloudflare... while accessing cloudflare
??????
can't even get support, because it needs to log in to cloudflare... which I am blocked from

hyprland!
somehow I actually managed to customize most of it myself (although using catppuccin colors helped *a lot*)
now I just need to make the dotfiles readable...

finally bought a used thinkpad (probably way over the usual prices lol)
battery seems not great, but it won't be my main laptop, it just needs to survive some travel

actual kde app styling tip for when not using kde:

some kde apps don't follow qt styling (ex: dolphin and kate), which makes qt5ct/qt6ct not work

using qt5ct-kde or qt6ct-kde with a KColorScheme color scheme configures kde apps as well as qt apps in order to make them all be styled the same way

❌ setting up hyprland by taking my time and learning carefully

✅ setting up hyprland in one week or else my laptop will have nothing on it for travel

tip: if you're moving a folder with way too many small files (300k), just tar it and move the tar archive instead (doesn't even have to be compressed into gzip or similar)
it'll take a lot less time to "compress" *and* move than waiting for the folder transfer

somehow managed to get most apps to use SSO in under a day...
maybe i'm finally done with setting up my home server?

time to set up authentik!
except that I don't understand most of the documentation...

why do i need to have my data be scraped T_T
i don't even have anything of value on my website...
there's no way that this many people have javascript or trackers disabled, right?

apple's new "liquid glass" feels like a bad copy of windows aero
if you're going to go 3D, might as well make everything look 3D and return to skeuomorphism...
