Today, I am going to try something very different. I am going to give TRITON SmartOS a shot. A number of years back, I tried OmniOS and loved it. But I wasn’t ready to move to it or anything. After trying out some of the Solaris zone and SMF stuff, I was hooked. It was really cool tooling to use and felt thought out. Now again, I am going to try again, but with SmartOS....
I was tasked with trying to get both Hebrew and Greek to be readable with Asciidoc, primarily for epub and PDF, but I also wanted to try with HTML too. Both HTML and epub worked great, but I had troubles with getting it to work with PDFs. Installation I’m on OpenBSD, but there are similar steps. In fact, I also did this on Linux and the steps were pretty similar....
Somewhere around Firefox 120/121 I noticed my Firefox notifications were getting messed up. At first I didn’t see them, then I realized they were transparent and would freeze the part of the screen where the notification would appear until it eventually faded away.

The other day, I received my Ploopy Adept in the mail, after having waited since mid-December when I placed my preorder. I have been a trackball user for a few years now, mainly having used the Elecom HUGE and the Kensington Orbit Fusion. The Kensington was awesome, but the angle was a bit too steep for my wrists. The Elecom has been my favorite by far, but the stock bearings caused me a lot of grief with the insane amount of stiction....
I roast coffee at home regularly. I haven’t updated my roasting log, I need a more lazy man approach to converting it all nicely. But I still do roast, and I use the neatest, dumb script ever..which I know works on OpenBSD and Linux. And it’s public domain #!/usr/bin/env sh COFFEEDIR="$HOME/Documents/coffeeroasts" echo "Coffee country of origin?"; read origin mkdir -p "$COFFEEDIR/$origin" filecount=$(ls "$COFFEEDIR/$origin" | wc -l | xargs) start_timer() { terms="xterm konsole gnome-terminal xfce4-terminal mate-terminal rxvt urxvt xterm-256color" if [ $(command -v xterm) ]; then xterm -e sh ....
