If we think of Linux distributions as a person, package managers are the most important factors that determine the characters and structures of these people. With package managers you can install and enjoy the latest software on your desktop. Pacman, which is a combination of the words “Package” and “Manager”, is the default package manager used on Arch-based systems.

If you ask what is one of the biggest disadvantages of static site builders, the first answer will probably be to add a comment section and form. There are various third-party solutions to fix this problem. For example, you can add an engine like Disqus for Hugo where you can manage comments, but this has the downside of including a tool with extra js and a bad privacy record on your website.

Actually, I thought the topic of this article was digital minimalism. But I made a small change in line with some of the new publications I’ve read recently. In fact, I brought this article forward.

My personal machine is a 12 year old Lenovo ThinkPad X220 that I’m running Arch with i3wm or bspwm. I still use it fondly in 2023 and I want to continue using until it leaves me. I’m trying to make the X220 as efficient as I can with Arch Linux and WMs and related shortcuts. Especially in recent years, I have had a very comfortable and sustainable system by using command line applications. Presumably this is the same for anyone using any WM on Linux and customizing it and backing up the dotfiles configuration files, but for a machine with an i5-2450M processor, today’s websites and traditional programs it can be quite challenging.

One of the most important skills you can learn as a Linux user is how to use the man pages. In other words, mastering the man page is an important key to being comfortable and efficient when using the Linux system. Of course, very few achieve this, and we often turn to internet searches rather than manual pages.

The infrastructure of my site is Hugo, and from time to time I like to improve myself and update the theme structure with the simple but powerful variables that Hugo provides.

In order to remember that I started blogging again in 2023, I decided to transfer the part of my local notes related to movies and TV series by expanding and adding some of the contents. Here is a list of movies and TV series that impressed me, worth talking about and maybe a recommendation, I watched in 2022. I would like to publish before it was too late.

First of all, I think it would be right to start by noting the conceptual difference between “Free Software” and “Open Source”. So let’s leave this link here.

Fediverse is a collection of consolidated servers used for social media, web publishing, file hosting and other modern web activities, but able to communicate with each other while hosted independently. In this way, users can create so-called identities on different servers. The name is derived from the words “federation” and “universe”.

Git is a version control system designed and developed by Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel. Git helps developers keep track of the status of their code and allows them to collaborate on a codebase. Thanks to Git, you can easily return to the copies you have made when you need, by making copies of the step-by-step versions of the projects.
