I finally got around to installing Void GNU/Linux on my main -computer. Rolling release, non-systemd, need I say more?

As with all GNU/Linux distributions, wireless networks had -me in a fix. If you can see this post, it means I’ve managed -to get online. It turns out, wpa_supplicant was detecting the -wrong interface by default (does it ever select the right -one?). Let us fix that:

- -
$ sudo rm -r /var/service/wpa_supplicant
-$ sudo killall dhcpcd
-
- -

What is the right interface though?

- -
$ iw dev
-   ...
-   Interface wlp2s0
-   ...
-

Aha! Let us run wpa_supplicant on that interface, as a -background process:

- -
$ sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
-$ sudo dhcpcd -B wlp2s0
-$ ping google.com

- - Bash Harder With Vim - -
-

Bash is tricky, don’t let your editor get in your way. Here’s a couple of neat -additions you could make to your vimrc for a better shell programming -experience.

- -
- -

Man pages inside vim

- -

Source this script to get started:

- -
runtime ftplugin/man.vim
-
- -

Now, you can open manpages inside vim with :Man! It adds nicer syntax highlighting -and the ability to jump around with Ctrl-] and Ctrl-T.

- -

By default, the manpage is opened in a horizontal split, I prefer using a new tab:

- -
let g:ft_man_open_mode = 'tab'
-
- -
- -

Scratchpad to test your commands

- -

I often test my sed substitutions, here is -a sample from the script used to generate this site:

- -
# a substitution to convert snake_case to Title Case With Spaces
-echo "$1" | sed -E -e "s/\..+$//g"  -e "s/_(.)/ \u\1/g" -e "s/^(.)/\u\1/g"
-
- -

Instead of dropping into a new shell, just test it out directly from vim!

- -
    -

  • Yank the line into a register:

    - -
    yy
-
    • -

  • Paste it into the command-line window:

    - -
    q:p
-
    • -

  • Make edits as required:

    - -
    syntax off            # previously run commands
-edit index.html       # in a buffer!
-w | so %
-!echo "new_post.md" | sed -E -e "s/\..+$//g"  --snip--
-^--- note the use of '!'
-
    • -

  • Hit enter with the cursor on the line containing your command!

    - -
    $ vim
-New Post         # output
-Press ENTER or type command to continue

Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format is no more, as the creators of -Pango, one of the most widely used text rendering -libraries, -announced -their plans for Pango 1.44.

- -

Until recently, Pango used FreeType to draw fonts. They will be moving over -to Harfbuzz, an evolution of FreeType.

- -

Why?

- -

In short, FreeType was hard to work with. It required complex logic, and -provided no advantage over Harfbuzz (other than being able to fetch -opentype metrics with ease).

- -

Upgrading to Pango v1.44 will break your GTK applications (if you use a -bdf/pcf bitmap font). Harfbuzz does support bitmap-only OpenType fonts, -otbs. Convert your existing fonts over to otbs using -FontForge. It is to be noted that applications -such as xterm and rxvt use xft (X FreeType) to render fonts, and will -remain unaffected by the update.

- -

Both scientifica and -curie will soon ship with bitmap-only -OpenType font formats.

- - Color Conundrum - -
-

This piece aims to highlight (pun intended) some of the -reasons behind my color -free editor setup.

- -

Imagine highlighting an entire book because all of it is -important. That is exactly what (most) syntax highlighting -does. It is difficult for the human eye to filter out noise -in rainbow barf. Use color to draw attention, not diverge -it.

- -

At the same time, a book devoid of color is boring! What -is the takeaway from this 10 line paragraph? What are the -technical terms used?

- -

Prose and code are certainly different, but the fickle -minded human eye is the same. The eye constantly looks for a -frame of reference, a focal point. It grows tired when it -can’t find one.

- -

The following comparison does a better job of explaining -(none, ample and over-the-top highlighting, from left to -right):

- -

hi.png

- -

Without highlighting (far left), it is hard to differentiate -between comments and code! The florid color scheme (far -right) is no good either, it contains too many attention -grabbers. The center sample is a healthy balance of both. -Function calls and constants stand out, and repetitive -keywords and other noise (let, as) are mildly dimmed -out. Comments and non-code text (sign column, status text) -are dimmed further.

- -

I’ll stop myself before I rant about color contrast and -combinations.

-

Often times, when I run a vim command that makes “big” changes to a file (a -macro or a :vimgrep command) I lose my original position and feel disoriented.

- -

Save position with winsaveview()!

- -

The winsaveview() command returns a Dictionary that contains information -about the view of the current window. This includes the cursor line number, -cursor coloumn, the top most line in the window and a couple of other values, -none of which concern us.

- -

Before running our command (one that jumps around the buffer, a lot), we save -our view, and restore it once its done, with winrestview.

- -
let view = winsaveview()
-s/\s\+$//gc              " find and (confirm) replace trailing blanks
-winrestview(view)        " restore our original view!
-
- -

It might seem a little overkill in the above example, just use “ (double -backticks) instead, but it comes in handy when you run your file through -heavier filtering.

- - Onivim Sucks - -
-

Onivim is a ‘modern modal editor’, combining fancy -interface and language features with vim-style modal editing. What’s wrong you -ask?

- -

Apart from buggy syntax highlighting, -broken scrolling and -others, -Onivim is proprietary software. It is licensed under a commercial -end user agreement license, -which prohibits redistribution in both object code and source code formats.

- -

Onivim’s core editor logic (bits that belong to vim), have been separated from -the interface, into libvim. libvim is -licensed under MIT, which means, this ‘extension’ of vim is perfectly in -adherence to vim’s license text! -Outrun Labs are exploiting this loophole (distributing vim as a library) to -commercialize Onivim.

- -

Onivim’s source code is available on GitHub. -They do mention that the source code trickles down to the -oni2-mit repository, which (not yet) contains -MIT-licensed code, 18 months after each commit to the original repository.

- -

Want to contribute to Onivim? Don’t. They make a profit out of your contributions. -Currently, Onivim is priced at $19.99, ‘pre-alpha’ pricing which is 80% off the -final price! If you are on the lookout for an editor, I would suggest using -Vim, charity ware that actually works, and costs $100 lesser.

- - Static Sites With Bash - -
-

After going through a bunch of static site generators -(pelican, -hugo, -vite), I decided to roll -my own. If you are more of the ‘show me the code’ kinda guy, -here you go.

- -

Text formatting: I chose to write in markdown, and convert -to html with lowdown.

- -

Directory structure: I host my site on GitHub pages, so -docs/ has to be the entry point. Markdown formatted posts -go into posts/, get converted into html, and end up in -docs/index.html, something like this:

- -
posts=$(ls -t ./posts)     # chronological order!
-for f in $posts; do
-    file="./posts/"$f      # `ls` mangled our file paths
-    echo "generating post $file"
-
-    html=$(lowdown "$file")
-    echo -e "html" >> docs/index.html
-done
-
- -

Assets: Most static site generators recommend dropping image -assets into the site source itself. That does have it’s -merits, but I prefer hosting images separately:

- -
# strip file extension
-ext="${1##*.}"
-
-# generate a random file name
-id=$( cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 2 | head -n 1 )
-id="$id.$ext"
-
-# copy to my file host
-scp -P 443 "$1" emerald:files/"$id" 
-echo "https://files.nerdypepper.tech/$id"
-
- -

Templating: -generate.sh -brings the above bits and pieces together (with some extra -cruft to avoid javascript). It uses sed to produce nice -titles from the file names (removes underscores, -title-case), and date(1) to add the date to each post -listing!
