I created the static site generator this micro-blog is built on! Check out blogde here!

I run an Artix server with the openrc init system from home and was looking into using copyparty which is a powerful portable file server with a really bad UI.
I was in a rush and unable to get an openrc init file working, so I copped out and decided to use tmux as a daemonizer. This is pretty easy, all you need is a tmux script to create a detatched tmux instance and run the program you would like to run, and a way to run that script on reboot so you do not have to worry about running it manually.
#!/bin/bash
SESSION_NAME="copyparty"
# Create a new session and name it
tmux new-session -d -s $SESSION_NAME
# Send a command to the first pane
tmux send-keys -t 0 'copyparty' C-m
do not forget to chmod +x the script to make it executable
You just need to use the @reboot directive in your crontab like this:
@reboot /path/to/your/scriptFirst delete the reboot lock file to trick cron into thinking you have rebooted:
rm /var/run/crond.rebootThen restart cron with whatever init system you are running.
Check to see if your service is running with
tmux a -t NAME_OF_YOUR_TMUX_SESSION--
And that is it! you get live logs in the tmux session, you can stop and start it just by attaching to the tmux session and stopping and starting a program as you would in the shell.
This is definitely a bad idea though, it is just useful in a pinch.
I have added rss feed generation to blogde which is the static site generator this blog is built with.

The description and links still need work. Once I add pagination and auto generation of pages for each post it will all make more sense. Updates coming soon!
If you follow linux-fluencers on youtube, they are all raving about omarchy as if it was a gift from the Heavens. Is it really anything more than a glorified hyprland rice? Does it truly warrant the onslaught of interviews that it has garnered. I do not know, so lets look at the repo directory by directory and see what is happening under the hood!
/applications/ okay, this is just a bunch of .desktop files, essentially scripts to run programs. dmenu or rofi will do this out of the box. Also, this will be a trend during the audit but, why do I need someone to tell me which programs I need? more on that later./bin/ a bunch of tiny scripts to handle mundane things like refreshing applications or configs, installing packages, restarting apps, changing themes, installing webapps. I am not going to install omarchy, and I do not care to look where these are called from, I assume some binding or something. This is probably the most impressive thing in the repo/config/ All those fancy colors, did we really need your btop config? and your barebones nvim config? 149 lines of config for fastfetch??? c'mon./install/ definitely make sure you choose the bare install version or you get a bunch of big tech crap including google suite, X, LLMs, etc. The rest of it seems to just bootstrap an arch install for you. If you are installing arch, now you get to say "I use arch btw" without actually learning what arch is. /themes/ really the only cool thing I found, an easy way to switch between color schemes. I use pywal and update all my apps based on the dominant colors in my wallpaper, so the themes would go unused by me.A few more thoughts:
If omarchy is going to make people switch to Linux, I think that is great. But i do think a tiling window manager should be something configured by the user, vs getting a bunch of defaults from someone else. The main issue when it comes to noobs installing omarchy will be their inability to actually update the configs because they just wont understand where everything is.
DHH claims "omarchy is an opinionated take on what Linux can be at its best." It is literally just a rice, a curated set of programs and configs. It is not like the kernel was modified, it is not an OS, it is hyprland done well for DHH.
Building off the last point, if anyone complains I am being a jerk here, this is just an opinionated take on omarchy.
I really do not think it deserves the hype it is getting. It is a productized post on r/unixporn (don't use reddit), yet it is getting so much exposure from the linux youtube community it was unavoidable
Endeavoring to contribute to the tilde.green community, I created a webring. I sent some emails asking users who are actively updating their webpage (as reported by the green report) asking to help in pilotting the feature. If you are interested in joining click on the tilde logo in the webring above or go here!
I made a joke to my wife when I joined tilde.green saying: "Let's see how long it takes until I get banned." Well, it took less than 24 hours. Luckily it was just a soft ban of my home IP due to me trying to log in to email via betterbird client too many times. ~jmjl was kind enough to take me out of fail2ban jail. If this isn't a WR speedrun, let me know!
Hi~ my name is jigong and my main goal is to be crowned Mister Tildeverse at next year's tilde-pageant! I want to win this title to prove that any man with a basic understanding of shell commands can wear the coveted sash. My greatest strength is my drive to build things from scratch; and my greatest weakness is not finishing said things. When I win, which I will, I will create my own tilde server.
