Things I really like about Omarchy The tiling via Hyprland (at least in theory) Keyboard driven usage of the Operating System Straight sharp corners/edges No animation, or adjustable animation between workspaces Frameless web apps...
I’m fascinated by photographers using film cameras, guitarists on plain old tube amps, authors writing books with pencil on paper, and the list goes on. The same goes for Vim (and Neovim) for programmers. It's very pure and inspiring to...
I'm really inspired by DHH and the push for Linux and Omarchy. I even installed Omakub last year on an old mac to get a taste of Linux. Omarchy takes everythin a tad further in customization in a way I really enjoy the looks of. I'll...
(But no one cares… except you.) Exciting? Maybe for you. Your client? Not so much. They probably won’t notice. They definitely won’t ask for it. And they almost certainly won’t want to pay for it. After all, the site still works, right?...
Over the last days I have found it interesting to follow the thread on Reddit regarding the direction Laravel is heading. I am not using Laravel a lot myself, so I follow it rather from the perspective of general software – or even...
I'm more than ever doubting this public blogging thing. I tell myself it's mainly for my own benefit, and I feel the arguments are there for it. But despite this focus, I can't help but having the (non-existent) audience in my head when...
Remember that you can hold multiple, even conflicting opinions about the same person. You can admire or be inspired by certain qualities or accomplishments without necessarily agreeing with all of their views. Yes, even someone as...

Sometimes I want to display all sub-pages of a certain page together with the parent page in the panel. An example of this is a basic multi-language setup like 3-5 pages in a native language, plus a couple of english pages also. Some...
Following up on my post from last week, I decided to install Linux on an old 2016 MacBook that was just gathering dust. I installed Ubuntu 24.04 and went through the Omakub installer. This post will just be a short note-to-self on how to...
I've been diving into Vim lately. It all started out with DHH and his push for Linux and Lazyvim through his Omakub project. At first I started to really consider Linux. Partly because small things annoy me in macOS. Things like not...
In todays note to self, its just a basic reminder of how to check if a user is logged in or not. Mainly because I've looked for this at least twice, and got stuck with old forum answers with pre-Kirby v.3 syntax that didn't work. As with...
There's a term in running called a "kick", which refers to the ability to sprint at the end of an endurance-oriented race. Often it leads to anger amongst other competitors, who felt it unfair that they had to lead in front the whole...
I have an issue with the Sanity Content Lake. The Sanity Content Lake is where your content is stored and accessed. It runs in the cloud and is fully managed by us. What I read: your data is ours, and we control it. You want to keep the...
Sometimes the database keeps growing and you want to figure out which table(s) are causing the issue. It happens sometimes for me on Craft CMS projects. I then find it useful to be able to isolate the largest table(s) within the database...
