Tempeh. Ever heard of it? It’s a traditional Indonesian food made from fermented soybeans. Packed with protein and a unique nutty flavor, tempeh is a fantastic meat substitute for vegans and vegetarians alike.
In this post, I’ll guide you through what tempeh is, how to make it at home, and tackle some of the common challenges, like maintaining the right fermentation temperature. So, if you’ve ever thought about giving tempeh-making a try, let’s dive in!

It turns out it wasn’t, because the first week back at work I had the need to share a slideshow in full screen. Then it doesn’t matter if you can select a window anymore. So my workarounds with Sway would have worked in that use case while my Hyprland set up… didn’t.
Read On →After four years with Sway, I’ve decided to transition to Hyprland. My journey from EXWM to Sway began about four years ago, and I documented the experience in this post three years ago. While Sway has served me well, it has its limitations that I’ve used hacks and workarounds to circumvent.
One major drawback of Sway is its screen sharing capabilities. Although I managed to get screen sharing somewhat functional, it only allows sharing the full screen.

This automation generates numerous commits and deployments to the gh-pages branch, mainly due to minor version bumps of hugo and other changes to the theme. While this hasn’t been a problem for my static website, which primarily consists of text, a recent addition has created some challenges.
Read On →NixOS has a lot of configurability and features. One feature that I’ve known about for a while that I think is both really cool, but also a bit lesser known is the ability to have declarative Specialisations. To me, this is a superpower of NixOS that I have a hard time to see any other Linux Distribution having.
The name doesn’t do it justice, it’s a bit of a weird name for it. However I couldn’t come up with a better name for it either.

I have, a couple of times encountered coffee that friends have made that actually weren’t that bitter. So my reaction to it has managed to reach the level of “this isn’t terrible”. Not terrible isn’t a great review though, not really something that one gets back to right away.
Read On →As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, concerns have been raised about the potential dangers of AI becoming too powerful and taking over human civilization. In a recent interview, entrepreneur and CEO Elon Musk expressed his concerns about the risks associated with developing super-intelligent AI. However, his views were challenged by Larry Page, co-founder of Google, who referred to Musk as a “speciesist” for not wanting AI to become a “digital god”.
Read On →NixOS is a Linux-distribution that may be source-based, but it has a binary cache that covers things so you generally don’t need to compile things, things tends to be cached.
However, depending on how you configure your system, you may trigger compiles depending on what you do.
So a thing I do is that I run Emacs 29 with the native-comp patches that is wayland native with the pgtk-branch. This is by no mean the stable Emacs release at the point of writing. So to get this Emacs I use the excellent nix-community/emacs-overlay (that is maintained by my friend @adisbladis). However, this means that I will get Emacs from a development branch of Emacs, then I need to build all the Emacs packages that I use in my configuration as well for this version of Emacs.

A couple of weeks ago everything changed in a matter of days. I listened to Late Night Linux – Episode 179 where they talked about Jellyfin. I have looked into Jellyfin before, however I’ve disregarded it due to the lack of app for LG webOS. This changed because the podcast episode told that there was a webOS app for Jellyfin.
Read On →Back in 2017, this fairly small company Purism launched a crowdfunding on their own crowdfunding platform for their future phone known as Librem 5. I went back and forth a bit, I thought through some of the history about the company and decided that I thought they may deliver some day. At least I wanted to support the effort to make a modern Linux that could fill the hole that the demise of the Nokia N900 with no worthy device following up.
