Daudix - Progressive Enhancement

Greeting and salutations, and welcome back to first half1 of a new episode of #devlog, a show where I talk about changes to this website and projects related to it!

A lot can be said about 2025.

This blog post was written collaboratively1 by the Snug Nook staff over the course of three days.

Time to talk a bit about my recent changes to this website, plans for this blog, and One More Thing™.

You know what we do when there’s no ideas for a blog post?

Sigh I know, yet another devlog after almost a month of radio silence (heh, if only).

So… again?

As you may know, this blog is powered by Zola and a custom theme of mine called Duckquill.

So, what silly thing I came up this time?

This post is just as spontaneous as the name itself.

This came as a surprise to me, a good one; I’ve been interviewed by Jakov on the recommendation of Ivan.

The title was a bit clickbait, sorry about that.

It’s that time of year again, birthday (or as they say, cake day).

TL;DR: Fun game.

Remember when I wrote in the previous blog post: Experimented with my personal branding, this time completely new designs executed in monochrome.

Backstory I was making a banner for the Codeberg Pages post and wanted to use the same mountain image as on the Codeberg landing page.

Guh?

Over the past few days I’ve been experimenting with my logo/avatar/whatever (let’s call it… IDK, “logotar”) and exploring new styles–because why not?

I recommend giving this article a read, it tells a story of Luddism in great details.

I can’t write.

Backstory Somewhere in the middle of 2021, I got my favorite phone yet: Pixel 3 (white, with a teal power button, 64GB model).

Imagine this situation: You scroll through YouTube and find some video from, let’s say, 10 years ago.

I know I said in the previous post that the next post would be about how my Pixel 3 committed suicide, but I didn’t quite feel like publishing 3 posts in a row about my devices dying and being replaced, plus I haven’t researched the topic enough and don’t…

It was quite hard to get the expressions right, first version had them very sadge, so I changed them to be a bit more restrained.

Today’s that time of the year called WWDC, so I thought it’s a perfect opportunity to publish this longstanding draft about my MacBook.

Ever since the emergence of this website, I’ve blogged rarely and only about stuff that I considered not too boring or “cringy”… Well, it’s time to break all that- Party Horn !

This is my first #100DaysToOffload post; what this means is that I’ll post more and about more diverse stuff.

Today I wanted to reduce the amount of layered packages on my Silveblue install, sure thing it was easy to do, but there was one thing that wasn’t this easy, Syncthing.

This is a post in a new format called “microblog”, not quite a Mastodon post nor a full-blown blog post, you got the idea :) Changed my mind, blog (even small) is here, microblog is on Fediverse, no in between.

What?

Backstory It’s been about 4 months since the last post, all this time I’ve been procrastinating, doing some side projects, learning Blender, and… rewriting my website from scratch!

This blog was born two month ago, and since the first revision a lot- no, that’s not enough, hella lot of stuff has been changed, tweaked and redone from scratch, so here I will list them and my plans for the future of this blog.

Backstory While writing and the previous post I ran into an “issue” that post file names had spaces in them and special characters like :, I could rename them manually but why not use script to do this automatically?

Backstory On January 8, 2021, I have joined GitHub, back then I knew very little about FOSS and how it works, haven’t done design ever and had awful knowledge of English, to point that I used Google Translate to understand the text.

This post is made to give you basic understanding of what Gemini is, what are Capsules and Gemlogs, modern-day use of retro image techniques and text-based art I highly recommend you to read geminiquickst.art before this post, because it provides a lot of…
