One very useful feature that is “missing” from stock Qutebrowser is isolated browser profiles, a.k.a sessions. These allow full isolation of user data, be it history, cookies, bookmarks… I’ve written a simple script, qprofile , which solves this problem by having multiple Qutebrowser base directories and choosing between them with a dmenu script, including when opening…
And my window switcher menu
Today I decided to make a clean Wireguard client configuration on my dev computer, that would allow accessing any IP with any program while letting any other traffic out without going through it. I quickly found a post on the infamous Pro Custodibus blog , which contains many great Wireguard configs I’ve used countless times ( Renn.es ’s VPS-to-homeserver tunnel couldn’t have…

Questioning the usefulness and legality of “the AI pair programmer”
I have been using Cloudflare for over a year now for multiple domain names. I wanted to migrate away from that, and chose to self-host DNS using PowerDNS . PowerDNS provides multiple types DNS servers, but what you’ll want to host our own domain is an authoritative name server. This will publish the DNS records for our domain so that recursive name servers (like Google’s,…
My second split keyboard, this time without bloat!
When I was small, my father gave me a sharp CE-125 pocket computer / thermal printer combo he bought when he was in high school. The pocket computer was a great device: it could be programmed in BASIC and this was actually my first programming experience, before I even discovered Scratch . I think there’s only a handful of gen Z programmers who can actually say they “started”…
This is why you should never enable automatic routine updates
Today I needed to install Arch Linux without a display connected to the computer (an old thinkcentre used at Renn.es for backups). This is a quick tutorial for anyone else who needs to do this. If you encounter problems, please send me an email so that I can fix this tutorial. The main thing here is we want to enable the SSH daemon and then add an authorized key for the root account. Then we…
Recently I have tried to delete as many of my online accounts as possible to reduce my personal data footprint. A few weeks ago, I wanted to delete an AWS account. Here’s how it went.
I thought I would share my Zsh prompt here, mainly the part that shows the git status.
It’s easy but hard to find
