schestowitz                                                <p> We're still in the process of finding a place to live at the new job and alternating back and forth to the tune of 400 miles each way. Still, this weekend I updated Firefox on the Talos II to Fx121, which fortunately also builds fine with the WebRTC patch from Fx116 (or --disable-webrtc in your .mozconfig), the PGO-LTO patch from Fx117 and the .mozconfigs from Firefox 105. </p>Dec 19 08:16

I learned that a Bash script is just regular commands you run in the terminal shell, which I hadDec 19 08:25
schestowitz used to install Arch. I created a script that setup Arch for my system with all of my settings. I would test the script in a VM and tweak it until it just worked. At the time, I didn't know how to handle errors and edge cases, so it just brute forced it's way through the install process without any room for other settings or setups. This method I used to initially learn is good if you have a single purpose, but very bad if you want somDec 19 08:25

schestowitz                                <p>In 2023, I started asking myself: what new types of content could I write on this blog? I wanted to explore new ideas. I was finally ready to challenge the notion that this blog should be primarily about coffee or technology, a sentiment I held in my mind for a long time. Reading blogs like Rubenerd's blog, which focuses on no specific topic, helped me feel that I, too, could step out of my comfort zonDec 19 08:26
