I’m Done with Vim/Nvim Distros
This won’t be too long of a post, but it does somewhat connect with my most recent post about Dank Material Shell. After installing it, I enjoyed the rest of my setup as normal. This felt like the end-all addition to my Hyprland setup. However, I had a different, long-dormant issue that reared its ugly…

I Replaced My Second Brain (and PARA) With My Own Digital System
It’s surely been a while, as 2026 is now approaching. Quite a bit of time has passed since I stopped using the whole BASB “Second Brain” system as conceived by Tiago Forte, almost two months to be more specific. However, that doesn’t exactly mean I stopped using Obsidian altogether. When it comes to meaningful note-taking…

My NaNoWriMo 2025 Results
December is here again! That can only mean my latest NaNoWriMo attempt is over. Now, before I go on, I’m fully aware that the official NaNoWriMo site is gone and everything, but I still follow the tradition in general regardless. I never really saw the NaNoWriMo event itself being tied so tightly to that organization.…

Why I’m Giving Up on a Second Brain
I never thought I’d type this, but here we are. It’s been a fun ride for the past few years, but I saw the writing on the wall a good while back when I felt compelled to restart my second brain in the first place. I really didn’t want to think it was over, and…

My Third Serious Attempt at NaNoWriMo
November has arrived once more, and it’s that time of year all over again. Just as I did last year and the year before, I am once again throwing my hat into the ring and working on NaNoWriMo. As usual, if I’m going to do this again, there are going to besome ground rules. A…

How Homelabbing is Saving Me Hundreds of Dollars a Year
I’ve been a rather busy bee this past month and a half. I already alluded to the fact a while back, but I recently got Jellyfin running on an otherwise neglected Mac mini. I was able to set up a domain to redirect to it and everything, allowing me to replace both TIDAL and just…

A Brief Tribute to the Apple A1048 Keyboard
I am still a Linux user first and foremost, but I have most definitely ventured further and further down the rabbit hole of tinkering with vintage Apple computers. For those who have followed me long enough, you may know that I primarily grew up running Windows. I’d even say that’s part of why Windows XP…

The Usefulness (and Restrictions) of ChatGPT
While I have joked about it frequently in previous posts, I do casually use AI like many people from time to time. On more than one occasion, I’ll open up ChatGPT and type something in, especially if I feel like it’s a little too specific to search for a search engine alone. I know it’s…

How I Turned The 12 Week Year Into a Game
Welcome back! It’s the long overdue return of the Sudo Science Book Club! In this series of posts, I take a deep dive into books that resonated with me and simultaneously break down what I’ve learned and implemented from them. For the previous posts in the Sudo Science Book Club, see the further reading section…

Combine Your Second Brain with Zettelkasten
I’m already approaching an entire year of using my current second brain for my personal knowledge management. In case anybody doesn’t remember, I stopped using my old one because it became so bloated with information that didn’t quite matter to me. Instead of scrapping the idea altogether, I decided I just wanted a fresh start…
