Nix package development

We discussed writing a Nix package for a complex project with multiple resources, using the Discourse install-cloud guide as a template to structure derivations and manage dependencies cleanly.

NixOS Wi-Fi on Framework 16

We troubleshooted nmcli reporting the Intel AX210 as DOWN, enabled wireless in configuration.nix, and resolved common pitfalls to bring up the wireless interface successfully.

Git commit signing

We covered forcing Git to use a specific SSH key for a given repository, how to resign commits, and how to update the commit email so that signatures appear valid.

Hyprland keybinds

We added a custom Hyprland keybind to close the active window with a confirmation dialog, and refined the yes/no prompts and dialog appearance for better usability.

Terraform and Nomad learning

We explored practical resources--sample projects, tutorials, and sandbox environments--to build hands-on experience with Terraform and Nomad orchestration.

Bluetooth audio input

We investigated why LibreWolf failed to detect a Bluetooth headset mic, including how to identify the board, check firmware versions, and verify driver support.

Email server on NixOS

We outlined setting up a mail server on NixOS and using Caddy to automate TLS certificate issuance for secure SMTP and IMAP provisioning.

Privacy-focused smartwatches

We reviewed open-source options like the PineTime, diagnosed step-counter failures, checked return policies, and sketched a plan for a Rust-based long- term step tracker integrated with Gadgetbridge.

Swedish Studies

221 days in a row on Babbel. Listened to audio books as well this week.
