  • I have recently started using RSS feeds to get news and other information. It is quite time-saving.
  • Recently found out that word could open pdfs for edits. Used to upload pdfs to websites to get it converted into some editable format. I think Libreoffice can do the same.
  • Got that spinning type of mop and mopping has become a bit easier.

    1. Guix isn’t as popular as NixOS, but that’s probably because some of the packages are outdated. At least for Guix, I’d say that the packages are quite lacking, but as a contributor, I do what I can to help. NixOS has a variety of packages, which is probably the ideal distro to pick, but personally, I don’t like the weird Haskell/YAML hybrid DSL with poor debugging. Scheme, on the other hand, is a full-fledged language, and not just that, certain apps can be debugged via Shepherd, using the Guile REPL. The learning curve is quite, I’d say, but you don’t really have to worry about that as you can use them as a third-party package manager, just like Flatpak.

    2. They’re quite easy in the sense that they have good defaults, but you can use them for advanced stuff using flags.
