Ruslan's Tech Blog

Here is what I’m talking about: All these examples use a project called star-history.

I looked at my blog in the network tab and I saw this: The entire index page with css is smaller than the custom Inconsolata font I was enforcing on my website.

In one of my previous blog posts I mentioned a command that returns the list of all open pull requests I have ever created on github: gh search prs --author @me --state open --json title,url --template '{{range .}}{{.title}} - {{.url}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}' I…

I think macOS keyboard shortcut philosophy is superior to Windows or Linux.

If you open github.com you'll see the copilot chat interface.

I’m not a big fan of using a mouse because it forces me to move my hands from the home row.

I often use Makefile(s) as a task runner similar to Justfile or Taskfile.

I think I don’t understand computer networking really well so I’ve been playing with some related tech to improve my knowledge.

There is a library I rely on constantly in my day to day computing, at work and at home.

I spent quite a bit of time yesterday migrating from Syncthing to Unison.

The story Sometimes I hover over a file path in my terminal emulator (in Emacs of course) and type M-x find-file-at-point.

I’ve been using hledger since 2022.

It feels strange that I always receive a lot of marketing emails despite the fact that I never subscribed to any.

I’ve been journaling a lot for many years.

I’ve been browsing Emacs’s The Info Directory (C-h i) the other day and came across a menu item called Newsticker.

I’ve been running my own Gemini capsule (web site) on my cheap DigitalOcean droplet for a few years.

I have migrated this blog to Hugo yesterday.

I’ve been running my Gemini capsule for a few years and also recently I got interested in Zig programming language.

Let’s say I have this code (TypeScript) with long camelCased variable names.

You probably have heard about famous emacs M-x calc.

The problem I sometimes work with long functions or big org subtrees and it’s not always clear what function or org subtree I’m in right now.

I can’t connect to port 25 anymore.

Solution Just run this: composer install --ignore-platform-req=php Issue I often have an issue when after upgrading PHP to a newer versions I can’t do composer install anymore because one or more libraries haven’t updated their require.php section to sup…

The problem Sometimes I use C-x C-b to get list of buffers so I can clean it up a little after some time.

Intro We all need to search in files sometimes, right?

This is more of a joke post.

Intro Surprisingly for me I just discovered that Emacs Lisp has equivalent of Clojure’s -> and ->> macros.

Intro It has been almost a year since I started to use Org-Roam.

The issue By default only the tags directly attached to an org record will be saved in the archive file.

Just a quick note on how easy it is to actually navigate Doom Emacs documentation and modules.

I’m trying to get used to Doom Emacs and one issue I have is that LSP (in my case Eglot) starts automatically when I open up a php project.

Almost a year ago I already tried to start using Doom config which I eventually replaced with my own vanilla config.

If you didn’t know, there are two methods of archiving subtrees in Emacs’ Org-mode.

So I just discovered wgrep mode of a grep buffer in Emacs and it’s incredible.

I just built emacs-plus@29 on my MacOS using --with-native-comp just to see what it is and how it works.

This is something I came across recently.

If you’re a former Vim user there is one feature I couldn’t find in any other editors.

If you want to test webhooks locally you probably use Ngrok or Localtunnel.

I recently started to appreciate light theme again.

Trying out eglot at the moment on a php project I have and unfortunately it doesn’t work out of the box.

Hledger is a text based accounting tool.

Immediately few things to mention.

In my previous post I’ve been talking about Doom config and that it is great and all but I find it really difficult to fix issues there.

TLDR; Add detach-keys = "ctrl-@,ctrl-q" to [engine] section in ~/.config/containers/containers.conf file Description I recently switched to Podman and the only issue I faced is CTRL+P won’t work properly inside containers.

I do change my workflow from time to time to keep myself in shape.

TLDR; service is less functional wrapper around systemctl command on systemd based distros.

Makefile I add a Makefile to every project I work with.

Solution The image above is what we see when visiting the challenge URL (104.197.195.221:8087) That’s strange.

Solution There is only one form that accepts a file.

TL;DR let g:fugitive_summary_format = "%<(16,trunc)%an || %s" The path of figuring that line out Vim-Fugitive is a great package.
