LibreWolf
I've hit the last straw with Mozilla's antics in Firefox. I've been a Firefox champion for years and years. But every danged upgrade has some new insane junk I don't want or need and they keep popping up these little "tips" to rub my nose in it. I'm sick of it. I'm done. THANKFULLY we have LibreWolf to solve all of that. I'm a heavy browser user migrating from the fox to the wolf and here are my notes so far...

*RSS Club* Exclusive SECOND followup to the previous "nosurf" post. Getting closer and closer to the truth...
** RSS Club ** | AI vs Art
(OLD PERSON RANT WARNING) It turns out, I do regret posting this to my Virtual Box of Cards. But not for saying it. I stand by what I wrote here for now. Also, this new title isn't much better, but at least it's still pretty short...

Dave's OpenBSD Blog 1 - Installation, disklabels
My OpenBSD exploration begins! Well, began a while ago, but now I'm SeRIouS about it. This first post is about the installation experience...

*RSS Club* Hey, if you read my feed, I guess you care what I'm up to. So Mastodon is what I'm up to! Check it out.
Needle Felting
I resisted the urge as long as I could. Because Dave Doesn't Need Another Hobby. But needle felting is cool! I'm updating this page as I make progress. (This post is mostly pictures with descriptions.)

Computers as Workspaces
This was just a "shower thought", but it turned into into an IndieWeb "reply". For that reason, I'm adding it to this feed. :-)
The Phased Approach
I already knew this, but sometimes it's really pleasant to turn yourself into a factory worker on your own project...
Programming
Wordleshare
After tiring of jumping through ridiculous hoops to privately share Wordle results with family, I created a really simple Perl CGI application to do the job... This is what software would be like in a utopia.
Dave's Virtual Box of Cards
Okay, I've done it! I've started a Zettelkasten. Only, I'm not following anybody's rules. I'm just calling these "cards". I'm already loving this. (Oh, and just so you know, all content up there right now was plotted out on actual paper index cards. So it's *totally* legit.)

Personal Linux Setup with Git Repos and Stow
I had a dream: * A low power, always-on computer I could SSH into from any other computer in the house. * All of my projects and data in Git repos available for cloning and updating from any computer in the house. * My personal Linux/UNIX configuration ("dotfiles") available to any computer in the house for instant and granular installation. * No dependencies on any computer outside my home network. Time for a new setup!

Hackin' Teardown
Really pleased with how easy it is to examine the parts of the voxel destruction physics game Teardown. Gotta "hack" games for the kids, you know. :-)
