Having found the source of confusion, I went ahead and read the elisp for my airline theme which I probably should have done in the first place. This made it clear that I could load a regular theme first, and then load the airline theme after to get the best of both worlds. So, now I’m happily working with base16-irblack and airline-minimalist.

This all works great with my init.el available in both my Fedora and Debian TemplateVMs so any AppVM I spin in #QubesOS is a few seconds away from bliss

Two full months later I now have Local Admin on my work laptop. Time to load up the #FOSS that will make this machine almost useful.

@Gina indeed, I took my light jacket off on my bike ride to the office this morning. As a man from south Texas I’m not used to anything but my beer or margaritas ever being colder than 20C so it is extra weird to me to feel too warm here in November!

Just spent more than an hour trying to figure out how in the heck my Emacs config was having a different set of colors in my Qubes VMs than on my actual Fedora system. The answer was in a relic from my ancient set of dotfiles. I did not bring my .Xresources/.Xdefaults along for the ride this time, and those were in fact responsible for the non-powerline theme elements. The last time I thought I cared about these files was probably a decade ago!

#linux #emacs

If this was a parking spot in TX there would be a crane at work full time to pull trucks out of the water 😂

Took a break from messing with #QubesOS to take a nice socially distant walk through Delft. Everyone in town who knows me from the last year here has shouted their congratulations to me on the election in the US, as if my vote in TX counted for anything. For the last 17 years, or since I first actually read the constitution after swearing to support and defend it, I’ve cared far less about the constitutionally weak President than the immensely powerful Congress. Too bad it’s still broken.

@Gina knitting was used to encode messages during “the war” by the precursor to those who would fall under the umbrella of special forces today. To bring it full circle pretty much the most important non-armament thing to any ground solider: socks. Maybe that’s why I like knitting them so much? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Borgbackup is awesome. That is all. #FOSS

@Gina it is unfortunately not over yet, and the senate outcome will prolong the suffering. I do have a tiny bit more hope for the future though.

Running #QubesOS on my NUC again. I’ve missed the compartmentalization the last year or two as it’s been impossible to get any work done on my company machine. It’s been a while, and a major release, since my last run with Qubes but I should be up and running again soon.

@Gina Dinosaurs was hilarious back in the day!

@musicmatze@mastodon.technology @cytrinox @FSMaxB map and collect for the win!

Released v0.2.1 of my connection checkin’ #Rust project today to fix some error handling issues, and reduce some duplicate code into a generic function making use of a common trait.

Next release I’ll add support for JSON payloads in the http(s) checker.

@Gina dumpster fire kind of week here. Hope you are having a better one than I am!

@kyle yeah, that’s what I expected. An unholy patchwork of apt magic hasn’t graced one of my machines since the FujiP5k, but then that was also one of my favorite machines of all time.

@BartG95 where is the most common option: Does Not Exist!?

@kyle WiFi won’t work on either, but wired should. I assume I just need to touch my apt sources lists with the taint of non-free to get them to work as I would in Debian? For the NUC it doesn’t matter as that’ll always be wired. I could go Qubes again on the T460s since Wayland has already broken everything I gained when I stopped using Qubes to begin with 😂

Tomorrow I think I’ll install #PureOS on my NUC, and perhaps my T460s as well. Give it all a test drive before my Librem 14 or Librem 5 ship. I’ve run it Live, but my go-to Live distro is #Tails

@codesections @alcinnz colocation services are still very much available. The second hand server market is pretty vibrant too.
