Emoji Breakdowns With Raku

Doing a unified.js tutorial: “these plugins are ok but why not just write a grammar to convert it to an AST yourself, work with that, and skip the plugins?”
Which sounds in keeping with my “why work hard when you can work harder?” upbringing.
Spent — oh my — a few hours hyperfocused on some different Node.js-ish GUI frameworks (Electron, Tauri, NW.js) and decided then bounced all the way over to Red-View for tiny and Glamorous Toolkit for expansive and I forgot why I started looking.

Ah. ‘Tis the season.
‘Tis the season to unsubscribe from the political fundraising campaigns I don’t remember subscribing to, followed by marking any others from them as spam.
@ocdtrekkie Only for work, pretty much.
Crap I’m running out brain
TYPE FASTER
Fun to run terraform apply and watch it do all the things.
Bit of a snag in dental crown placement. Anesthetic wore off too quick. Ah well. I have more teeth again.
Also I heard something about “give him an obsidian crown.” I didn’t ask for clarification because nothing could match what my brain was coming up with.
web app: “You can customize styles!”
me: “Sweet!”
app: “Add your changes to a custom.css”
Half an hour of manual symmetry before bed.
Thinking one last hardware upgrade on this system before I seriously start thinking about a new one: take RAM from 40GB to 64GB.
Not strictly necessary, but — you know — running multiple Electron apps.

Customizing a Trilium Report

Found a typo in one of my note titles, and — well — I felt it better to embellish than to emend.
I feel like I’m better at “conversational infodump” than “giving a talk” so I did that instead.
I think it went well, but even if it didn’t, the context shift didn’t require much effort so I still have brain for the day’s tasks.
@Ventronik First releases were back in 2017, so it predates them by a little. But yep it’s in the same category.

Almost as niche of a workflow as one can get, but if one enjoyed task funnel w/ #AmpleNote and the nerdy extensibility of #TriliumNotes and rich text entry from both but hadn’t memorized any APIs yet:
Copy and paste works (if you avoid / fix nested lists)
“AUR is unavailable at this moment” has me bookmarking the #ArchLinux service status page
and yeah it’s not just me
@nixfreak Probably, and whatever it was has passed. A hiccup.
Trilium’s journal pages have a spot to show what notes you edited that day, which is both really cool and not particularly helpful when you import 1500 files from Obsidian.
STOP FUCKING SENDING SAME-DAY MEETING INVITES WITH NO WARNING OR CONTEXT
If you want to suck up an hour of my day and three hours of my brain, least you can do is tell me why.
I’m fine. I’m fine. I reacted appropriately (which in this case does not mean reflexively clicking “yes”).
Just using the microblogging vent to keep from screaming elsewhere.
