Gitea now has a native support for Actions, which is a clone of GitHub Actions with the same syntax. Since Drone CI – which was the topic of an older article – seems to get slowly abandoned by upstream and Gitea Actions are now stable, it is a good idea to switch.
I have done some experimenting with dwl and river on Wayland, which requires a change of my X11 setup. This article quickly explains how to replace the old Shotgun and Slop for a simple Wayland alternative.
This is a follow-up to my previous post about fractional display scaling. I have done more digging and finally created a working setup for scaling my displays automatically with autorandr and dwm.
Zola is my SSG of choice, as it it fast, powerful and packed in a single statically linked binary. Here is how I use with in conjunction with Drone CI for automatic building and deployment to my webserver.
Managing a music library is easy with tools such as Picard from MusicBrainz, but here is how I transcode and sync my FLAC library by using acxi, a powerful audio processing tool.
I have been having problems with scrot and its -c option for selecting a part of the screen. It glitched most of the time and rendered selection borders in the screenshot itself. I have decided to switch to something new – shotgun.
X11 supports fractional scaling perfectly well, but most GUI toolkits don’t implement it properly. Scaling works fine in a pure QT environment, but when using other GUI toolkits (such as GTK+), things don’t work as expected due to them being poorly written. This article describes several methods of universal mixed display scaling with broken GUI toolkits and a simple window manager (dwm).
