  • Yeah, not sure how much he’s distancing himself from FUTO related things though. He brought up grayjay recently, but only specifically to talk about the devs comments on recent Texas app store legislation. Kind of a wash.

    Given he is playing politician now, I don’t think he’s going to make a public statement about it. Not only would it hurt his influence but it would probably stall out any ongoing negotiations regarding right to repair. Shit sucks in general.












  • Honestly, I was running into the limits of stow. Want to unstow some configs on a bare machine? I hope you wanted that entire directory to be a symlink. Then I saw that someone had actually fixed that many years ago but the maintainer at the time was caught up in some personal crypto related projects and did not appear to be looking at the mailing list.

    Chezmoi fixed that, applied a templating engine and added a data mechanism. In moving my stow configs I realized that application specific config file deployments are nice but shouldn’t be necessary. Templates fill that gap, and meshing them with scripts allows you to do some cool things only when variables change.

    Plus I was beginning to play around with go at the time, so it just seemed like a good idea to use something I could contribute to if I needed.

    I still don’t think I’m using chezmoi to it’s full potential, but I am fairly proud of the script I use to determine data sources for my waybar config on all of my machines.
