Short post to help anyone else who is trying to get Linux working on a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro (Intel).
The machine did not work perfectly out-of-the-box for me, even on a very new Kernel (5.15, Fedora Silverblue).
The keyboard does not work properly after booting, and the …
read moreI've recently installed Fedora Silverblue on my Gaming Laptop, the last of my machines running Windows 10. Getting it installed to dual boot took quite a few attempts, so I'll document here how to set it up successfully.
If you haven't already, you will need to clear some space on …
read moreOne of my goals for 2021 was to read more, and I've been fairly successful at carving out an hour and a half per night, five nights a week, to read.
Here is just a dump of all of the books I read this year, mostly for my own sake …

read moreDespite my general dislike for the overcomplicated front-end frameworks, I have found myself on about 3 occasions now thinking they could possibly be an easier way of tackling a particular problem.
During a small window of not-much-going-on at work, I decided to finally give some of them a try. After …
read moreAs a web developer, I like to use less and typescript to make css / javascript a little nicer to work with. Even nicer still is to have a process watch these files for changes, then automatically compile them on save, to make development as streamlined as if you were using …
read moreA while back I wrote a blog post about switching from JetBrains IDEs to vim. In that blog post I explained my rationale and went over my vimrc file.
Almost a year later, and I'm writing another blog post as I've switched editors again - sort of.
