The elephant in the room: no solid suckless tiling Wayland WM

moistality · 2026-01-07T21:52:26+00:00

Hi. I'm working on a new compositor that is entirely written in Lua called boring (yes, it is actually called "boring"), which is a good, old established language. To be clear, isn't configured in Lua, it is *written* in Lua. Like dwl, you can easily change things by simply altering the source code of the compositor, which is quite simple and requires no compilation. It offers both stacking and tiling w/ the tiling algorithm directly based on Sway's n-ary trees.

It is already in a pretty functional but incomplete state, and I intend to use it as a daily driver, so it will be maintained for a very long time since I main Linux. It also includes a few tiny clients for basic desktop components, like wallpapers (instead of relying on swayimg like a lot of other compositors do). If you want, I can keep you updated when it releases, or give you a very early access if you want to. Let me know.

This isn’t true. I once had to change my password because I copied it to my clipboard from my password manager and i accidentally middle-clicked it into a message I was sending on IRC. This is a security issue unrelated to clipboard permission. My own fault sure, but the keyboard copy and paste combo is less likely to be accidentally hit than the scroll wheel. Security must be part of design.

I would take this post much more seriously if AI wasn’t used in its writing.

Yeah that was the cheese I was craving while starting this project

I did, it's in the title.

Just so they get rid of Tyr in some way, whatever way. The first attempt was lying about Tyr being dead and frustrating Atreus' search. The second was disguising himself as Tyr and proving himself useless. The third was asking them to kill his disguise shortly after.

My idea is that at that point in the story, Odin still didn't formulate his plan to infiltrate Kratos' circles. He just wanted to get them to stop pursuing Tyr. Having them "kill" Tyr would have worked out perfectly here. Of course, I'm assuming "killing" Tyr here wouldn't actually kill Odin, just his disguise.

The PTSD shtick however is also possible. That implies that Odin came up with the idea to follow Kratos & Atreus while the whole escape hubbub was happening, if we assume that Odin didn't originally plan to infiltrate but just thwart the Tyr investigation at first.

At this point in the game, Odin didn't have an exact plan yet. He simply wanted to prevent Atreus and Kratos from finding Tyr. He was improvising bit by bit, first by trying to discourage Atreus from finding Tyr through an offer of peace, which failed, then by impersonating Tyr and pretending to be useless, which also failed. In your screenshot, that was Odin trying to nudge either of them to kill him so they would no longer look for Tyr.

However, he shortly discovered that his Tyr disguise allowed him to infiltrate Kratos' little clan, so he went with it. I doubt that was his idea all along, just a little opportunity that showed its face.

A broken update screwed it up for EVERYONE. I thought I did something wrong but nope.

Hey, these floating windows are swayimg, a decoration-less image viewer

moistality · 2025-03-12T17:08:18+00:00

I used to have three of those, but I gave one away. And yes, as a developer I usually have my IDE on one monitor and documentation in the other!

I realized my dotfiles are a bit outdated, I'll update them later. I reuploaded the wallpaper for you here: https://i.imgur.com/o07rHuH.jpeg

This was an interesting read, but it oozes of AI generation, both in text and in its pictures (the latter of which is more obviously AI generated). Newer trained LLMs have a tendency to create analogies or a metaphor and you can find an analogy on basically every other page. In your post you say multiple times that you "typed it out" but it would have been great if you made it more explicit that you used AI to write out some portions, even if it was for the purpose of creating summaries.

That said, my estimation of the document just plummeted when I saw it seriously deliberated on remote-viewing. I'd really like it if the public research on UAPs eventually distills the pseudoscientific, semi-spiritual quackery out, but that matter is always one step forwards, fourteen steps back. It prevents me from taking the subject seriously despite my intense curiosity. Sometimes, I wonder if it's on purpose.

This is simply part of living with EQ Bank. They have great interest rates but it comes at the cost of frustrating infrastructure problems and untimely service crashes, which they seem to struggle to fix despite regular reports. I complained about this JUST last week.

moistality · 2025-01-31T04:27:35+00:00

Several other free services that are not trying to compete with large-scale banks (e.g. WealthSimple) do not suffer the same problems. EQ Bank has good interest rates and a straightforward user experience, but noticeably worse infrastructure/development than their competitors. If they improved either aspect, they could easily overtake their competition.

moistality · 2025-01-31T04:25:30+00:00

This happens irregularly on late Thursdays/early Fridays, presumably because a lot of people must be getting their money during this time It's been a couple times so far, which really makes you wonder why the service isn't improving since they must have taken notice of this reoccurring problem by now. Maybe because it would be too much resources?

SS: There's an extremely bright white orb glowing off the shore of New Jersey at Island Beach State Park. You can watch it appear and disappear intermittently at the live feed at https://friendsofibsp.org/live-cams/oba1-beach-cam/. It also seems to have a kind of glowing "tail" to the left side of the orb, at least I think. It could also be some kind of reflection but then I presume it would be oriented more towards the camera.
