1. how i got waypaper to trigger pywal and sync it with my lockscreen

   Summary

   I wanted a way to change the colors of my applications and also sync my wallpaper with my lockscreen. So I spent a few hours tinkering with Waypaper.

   Every attempt I found online wanted me to use a separate bash script and have Waypaper trigger it. That was annoying, and I don’t want a bunch of random scripts on my PC. Since Waypaper can trigger commands directly, I decided to just use that instead.

2. I Have Finally Left NixOS — Here’s Why

   Summary

   After spending significant time using NixOS, I decided to move back to a more traditional Linux distribution. This wasn’t because NixOS is bad — it’s powerful — but because it wasn’t aligned with my current learning and career goals.

   What I Loved About NixOS

   NixOS is a declarative operating system. Instead of manually installing packages one by one, everything is defined in configuration files.

   That means:

   • Reproducible systems
   • Clean rollbacks
   • Immutable infrastructure
   • Powerful DevOps-style workflows

   It gave me the “immutable system” I always wanted.

3. Configuring My Terminal Workflow

   Summary

   I was getting into trying tmux again. Previously, I tried it without any configuration and without a split keyboard. Now I have a tmux + vim workflow.

   Since I am a system administrator, I can’t change the main keybindings of tmux. Even so, it works well for me with a split keyboard because I follow a lot of the Primeagen workflow ideas.

   In the past, I would just open another terminal window. That worked, but it was not efficient because I wood take my hands of the keyboard to hover the mouse over the window. In this post, I’ll go through the applications I use and how my workflow fits together.

4. A Theory on How Mental Fatigue Works

   What am I saying?

   Mental fatigue is your mind’s ability to self-regulate breaking down over time.

   When mental fatigue gets high, you don’t want to do anything responsible. You feel lazy, unmotivated, and avoid effort. For example, after a long day of work, you know you should eat healthy, but you don’t want to deal with it.

   From the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed, mental fatigue slowly increases.

6. Anime Review – Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf

   Garouden: The Way of the Lone Wolf was a huge refresher for me because it’s a simple story told extremely well. There are no explosions, no supernatural power-ups, and no flashy gimmicks—just grounded martial arts and human struggle.

   The main character loses his parents at a young age and grows up training in martial arts. One night, an intruder breaks in and has already beaten his master’s daughter. While protecting her, the MC kills by throwing him head-first into a rock. That single moment forces him to go on the run and sets the entire story in motion.
