Hello,
This month was full of work and I did not have much time to do things which I would love to do.
KDevelop Some patches I made (!66, !68, !75) were accepted and will be part of the KDevelop 5.5.
Falkon We are still walking on edge when it comes to Python plugin support. The problem is there is probably “only” me who is testing the patch for real to ensure the patch is correct, but since there was no time…
Backstory Few days ago I wanted to play with Falkon and create some basic Qml plugin. (What else to do to play, Python support is broken and C++ is for built-in plugins).
I started KDevelop (the big IDE I use) and went to create new Empty project because as I am not big Qml lover I did not create template for it yet. But I was met with errors which made me change my focus and fix the tool I use (KDevelop) before playing with Qml and Falkon.
Around a week ago YouTube switched my homepage to their new design with very big video previews which is suitable for tablets or smartphones but totally unusable on desktop with reasonable huge screen.
So I searched a way how to disable it, but as almost always there was none. In the end I used “Feedback” function and described how unusable it is on desktop and now (at the time of writing this post) I have older homepage design.
Back in the year I bought a cheap Lenovo laptop with Intel and NVIDIA Optimus gpu. It was not great but I am unable to say it was bad, it still runs fine, so it was a good choice. Even though the Linux support for Optimus enabled gpu was kind of bad it was still manageable.
At the time I decided to use Bumblebee + bbswitch (to disable the card), it worked fine. There was a bit of drawback on CPU but it worked kind of nicely, I could run things on NVIDIA with simple command without closing current X.
After some time I once again tried to create a blog. This time with it should be nice static site with dark design and only memories.
At first I went on journey to find a nice dark theme which I would use as a base. After a bit I found tocttou/hacker-blog which is really nice. See demo.
Customization It sounds all nice and fine but it is a bit plain. I decided that categories or tags would be nice. I chose tags because it is shorter and looks better. After a bit of search I stumbled upon a nice example. In the end it required a bit more work to add all functions but the basic idea was there. I added list of tags for each post on index:
