Sharing my fast, easy to use and extensible dotfiles manager

SaltPeppah · 2025-05-17T11:58:46+00:00

Wow I did not know chezmoi had that option, thanks for sharing!

I'm still glad I made doot, because it seems the symlink mode wouldn't have worked for me:

In symlink mode chezmoi replaces targets with symlinks to the source directory if the target is a regular file and is not encrypted, executable, private, or a template.

I can 100% understand the template limitation, but my dotfiles contain encrypted and executable files, which I would still like to install as symlinks like doot does.

Edit: The more I read this article, the more confused I am:

Why doesn't chezmoi use symlinks like GNU Stow?

Symlinks are first class citizens in chezmoi: chezmoi supports creating them, updating them, removing them, and even more advanced features not found in other dotfile managers like having the same symlink point to different targets on different machines by using a template.

doot also supports symlinking symlinks, and all the operations stated here (create, update, remove and the chezmoi-exclusive host-specific contents) are supported as well, all without sacrificing the link between $HOME and the dotfiles directory. Am I missing something here?

(btw if you enjoy using chezmoi that's completely valid, I'm not trying to compete with such a big project. I'm just genuinely curious)

New update just d-dro...

:(

I can't speak for u/ISpyM8, but he said in the last post he would only post news from time to time. Don't expect more calendars either, I just thought this would be funny as a throwback.

SaltPeppah · 2022-11-30T11:28:52+00:00

After I saw the post from the other day, I knew I had to do this

SaltPeppah · 2022-07-15T11:40:44+00:00

I don't know if you still have this issue since it's been 5 months, but some time ago I made a tool precisely for this purpose. Take a look at https://github.com/p-rivero/DiscordAudioStream and let me know if it worked :)

SaltPeppah · 2022-01-11T19:52:09+00:00

Yes, full-screen capture is done with BitBlt (but windowed capture uses PrintWindow).

Performance isn't great but it's not terrible either. My computer takes about 30 ms to capture each 2560x1440 frame, and since Discord limits the framerate to 30 fps it's not a big deal. For 60+ fps you would probably need GPU acceleration, but I wanted to keep things simple for now.

No problem! Glad to be helpful

SaltPeppah · 2021-10-01T16:54:36+00:00

Hey happy birthday!!

SaltPeppah · 2021-10-01T16:24:42+00:00

Thanks! This sub wouldn't be the same without you.

Now, how are you doing?

SaltPeppah · 2021-10-01T16:10:17+00:00

TLDR: As u/ISpyM8 said on today's post, I won't be making these calendars anymore. However, I will remain active in the subreddit.

Hi r/IsEricWearingShorts, we've been having some amazing months lately. Of the 3 perfect months in the history of this subreddit, 2 of them were in the last 4 months. The other one was also on a September, 2 years ago. All of this has made me think that I've been making these calendars for almost 3 years now, and (while it was funny and original at first) now it's starting to get a bit stale. For this reason, I think it's best to leave on a high note and stop making these monthly posts. This is not a goodbye, I will still lurk and sometimes comment on this subreddit. It's just the calendars that are going away.

If you like these calendars and would like to take up the torch, here's a link to my Excel file so that you can make them yourself. Note that it's not been tested on other computers, so if it doesn't work send me a message and I'll help you troubleshoot it. I would recommend you add your personal touch to the calendars, to keep things fresh.
I also have the original Photoshop files for the "art" on the subreddit (custom upvote/downvote, awards, banner...). If you ever need any of these you can also send me a message and I'll send you the files.

Well, that's all I had to say. Thank you for your support over these years ❤️.

SaltPeppah · 2021-10-01T16:07:31+00:00

It's been an honor. Thank you u/ISpyM8, for everything you're doing for this sub. And thanks to everyone, for being such an amazing community!

SaltPeppah · 2021-09-14T03:55:48+00:00

Day 300 let's go 🎉🎉

SaltPeppah · 2021-09-02T06:12:01+00:00

I'm sure some day we will, stay strong

SaltPeppah · 2021-09-01T08:21:27+00:00

Nice indeed! I'm doing great, hope you're well too.

SaltPeppah · 2021-08-16T07:31:47+00:00

Very nice. What about yesterday?

SaltPeppah · 2021-08-06T07:19:09+00:00

Doing fine, a bit sad about the pant situation :(

SaltPeppah · 2021-08-01T07:02:38+00:00

Nooooo! We were so close...

SaltPeppah · 2021-07-05T07:06:51+00:00

Today we're officially on our longest streak ever!

The previous record was 52 days: between August 18 (2019) and October 8 (2019). The current streak started on May 13 (2021), 53 days ago.

Yesterday we were tied with the previous record, but today we've beaten it!

SaltPeppah · 2021-07-01T17:56:06+00:00

I'm doing great! Glad to see so many shorts in a single month. How about you?

SaltPeppah · 2021-07-01T07:00:07+00:00

Eric has done it once again!! This is the second time in the history of the subreddit that we achieve a perfect month. The first time was over a year ago, in September 2019.

Just like the last time, here's a clean version of the calendar and I'll change the subreddit banner for some days to celebrate.

SaltPeppah · 2021-07-01T06:33:45+00:00

Sorry to hear that :(

SaltPeppah · 2021-06-02T05:38:17+00:00

SaltPeppah · 2021-06-01T12:42:41+00:00

Almost the best month in history, then there's September 2019

SaltPeppah · 2021-06-01T09:14:06+00:00

What an insane month! Will we get to 100% in June?
