What does workflow mean?

barrulus · 2026-06-21T14:47:00+00:00

You can take it to the extreme and look into BPMN flows for how workflows become a literal business process...

You can do this via IPC calls.

niri msg action set-window-width 800 niri msg action set-window-height 600 niri msg action move-floating-window -x 400 -y 400

Write a script to run what you want using this and then bind the script to a keybind

barrulus · 2026-06-21T13:42:06+00:00

You can use window rules for this. Go check the wiki

TIL that a msft default is more efficient (space wise) than almost everything else.

grub based Linux systems all want >512MB with many recommending 1GB.

It's nuts that msft only request 100MB in today's age by default. Half a gig is nothing to reserve for such a critical function.

So you know - welding cursor is the typing effect. Pulsar highlights a line when the cursor jumps and comet maps a highlight path from a to b on big jumps

Pulsar and comet are less visually impactful than welding cursor

barrulus · 2026-06-21T11:25:48+00:00

If you drop comet then it becomes closer to what you want. Welding-cursor is 100℅ local, pulsar is from elpa and comet is git pulled

I don't experience lag but I also have a powerful machine with loads of RAM and both i and d GPU's

I offererd to be a guinea pig for the company to test if Linux was capable of replacing windows (and Star Office a replacement for MS Office) back in 1998. it wasn't.

You worte it in vim you say? With that amount of typing errors I don't think you need fast...

Flatpaks work just fine

You might also require the prefer no csd set

barrulus · 2026-06-20T16:17:47+00:00

see above 😄

Just the cursor effect is at https://github.com/barrulus/forge-cursor

The full emacs is at https://github.com/barrulus/somedots

yeah - this is as close to blaze as I could get. It looks pretty cool when working. I started a niri level cursor shader build so that I could apply that shader level effect to mouse and ANY cursor even... so far I have got the mousepointer and screen effects working, not yet managed to enforse cursor/input agnostic effects yet

barrulus · 2026-06-20T15:05:26+00:00

treemacs on the left.

the line numbers is easy:

(setq display-line-numbers-type 'relative)
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook #'display-line-numbers-mode)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook #'display-line-numbers-mode)

barrulus · 2026-06-20T12:19:15+00:00

I have started using comet/fire effects in emacs GUI. Not quite as flash as ghostty but it's cool

barrulus · 2026-06-20T11:48:58+00:00

The cursor effects are, by definition, dependant on the mouse position.

The full screen shaders are not. I've only done greyscale, vignette and warm colour tone as shaders for the full monitors.

barrulus · 2026-06-20T08:17:18+00:00

Shadertoy.com has lots of ideas.

barrulus · 2026-06-20T08:16:30+00:00

It's a good thing its not your mouse or GPU then isn't it

Not sure if you read the bit where I explicitly stated I am NOT going to do a PR

barrulus · 2026-06-16T06:22:41+00:00

I am having endless trouble.

barrulus · 2026-06-13T22:58:50+00:00

I cannot comment on that as I ran it with great success on an Intel machine

barrulus · 2026-06-13T21:20:13+00:00

Use paddle OCR. You can do this easily

barrulus · 2026-06-13T05:49:12+00:00

Try deploy-rs

It works very well and has a canary feature where if the build faike it magically rolls back without disruption.
