Config Tweaks for Nushell

Here’s a tmux binding to readily launch a Nushell session, while leaving $SHELL alone.

Code Sample

    bind C new-window -- nu

And nvim-nu.nvim for Nushell support in Neovim through Treesitter.

Code Sample

    use {
  "LhKipp/nvim-nu",
  run = ":TSInstall nu",
  config = function()
    require("nu").setup{}
  end
}

There are many big things I’ve apologized for in life, but one of the little things I’d like to apologize for today ‘cause I loved it as a kid is how long it took me to figure out Siamese Cat Song from Lady & The Tramp was just Yellow Peril For Kids.

This blog post from Piers Cawley mentions using Github Actions to do all the ox-hugo work remotely for a nice clean Hugo source repo.

May be of interest to @kaushalmodi@mastodon.technology!

I tried Elden Ring but I didn’t care for it. I get why people like it, but all that ugly brutal, not my thing you knows?

(buys Kenshi)

whatever

something something hobgoblin of little minds

Though for clarity I bought Kenshi for half the money that Steam put back in my wallet after I returned Elden Ring.

Roughly half the risk of buyer’s remorse, maybe less since it’s money already spent.

I heard folks say the Kenshi tutorial wasn’t that great but I beg to differ. It’s very clear on one thing:

“Don’t be afraid to run like hell.”

I can do that.

Ran all the way to the next town and let the guards beat them up.

Then got to one of the unconscious bodies before the guards could, and collected a nice little bounty.

All in a day’s work?

I feel like this moment with Kenshi is the first time a CRPG has ever rewarded me for role-playing some common sense.
