I've been using i3 as my window manager for the past 7 years. It's great and you should check it out! However, one issue I have is that by default I don't get an obvious notification when my battery is low.

TL;DR : I wanted a keybinding to toggle between light and dark colorschemes and have the change apply immediately to all my WezTerm windows and Neovim instances across multiple running processes, using pure Lua configurations. If you want to skip the context and jump straight to the implementation, go to the solution . Recently I've been reworking my terminal setup. After years of using…

Notes about how I set up an OpenSearch cluster to manage the logs of my api . Goal: Set up the cheapest ELK cluster possible to - Ingest the logs of my API - Maybe use as a tracking database for my habits TODO: Review costs after some usage.

I have Dependabot set on many of my repos but I often get too lazy to check the PRs and merge them. On my api repo this is an issue because I really want to keep dependencies up to date. Here is what I did to have Dependabot's PRs merged automatically as they are created. The file lives there on Github At no point there is a need to generate a github access token by yourself. Dependabot will use…

I love to play on codingame it's a great way to keep your algorithmic skills sharp while working on playful problems. One of my favorite game on this site is the Clash of Code : a short competition against up to 8 players lasting at…
