I fell for the hype for a bit and was playing around with Omarchy on my ThinkPad. While I did like some of the opioniated setup (the theming system is very cool), a number of things bothered me. First and foremost, the controversy surrounding DHH is hard to ignore. I wasn't particularly well versed in it, but after...

For as long as I can remember, computers have been a creative hobby for me. As a kid, I “hacked” programs with ResEdit on Macintosh System 9. I wrote programs in C++ on a Palm Pilot and built apps in Chipmunk BASIC on our iMac G3. Through high school, college and my career I’ve always been working on some side...

The single biggest improvement over past releases of Omarchy has been the integration of AI agents with the system. Thanks to this integration, configuring Arch, Hyprland, etc no longer requires...

I didn't use my Sony A7IV nearly as much as I was expecting during my trip. A big part of that was either having my hands full with kids, or being on the bike. Still, I managed to get a few shots of Baotou! A street lined with restaurants and shops The hammer of justice China's characteristic wide boulevards A place...
