Early August Projects

The first week of August was centered on your Node-postgres-exporter work. You finished the conversion to ESM and TypeScript and started thinking about next steps. Around the same time, you were also looking into writing a Nix package for Discourse, asking how to handle complex setups that involve databases and services.

System and Config Troubles

A fair amount of time went into NixOS. You ran into an error with nixos-option and flakes not being found in .config/nix, and later were debugging Git commit signing issues (wrong email in the commit vs author fields). You also asked about forcing Git to use a certain SSH key or email per repo. Other NixOS topics included setting up Wi-Fi on your Framework 16, writing custom modules (like for Kolide), installing packages for Python and Ruby in nix-shell, and configuring Starship with Nushell.

Hardware and Devices

You were troubleshooting Librewolf not showing your Bluetooth headset mic, plus issues with Wi-Fi and Ethernet modules on the Framework. There was also a question about pinentry not working with GPG on NixOS. On the hardware front, you asked about pixel misalignment on your monitor and learned about TCON as a possible cause.

Lifestyle and Planning

You asked about FSAs and their use. Travel came up too, with your upcoming Europe trip and looking for the best power adapters (especially for the Czech Republic).

Blogging and Writing

Your NixOS daily driver series continued, with a post on getting Wi-Fi working on the Framework 16. You considered what direction to take the next entry. You also asked for an intro/about section to describe yourself, condensing it down to 5 sentences. In parallel, you've kept up with weekly summaries and changelog-style posts.

Miscellaneous

Other threads included practicing Terraform and Nomad, CSS layout questions, and making Hyprland keybinds prompt for confirmation before closing a window. On the wearable side, your PineTime step counter broke and you asked about firmware, Gadgetbridge, and even writing your own step-tracking app in Rust or Kotlin.
