  • IMHO months add unnecessary complexity. In my own experimental calendar I use normal Gregorian year with ISO week numbers and then instead of months, I define seven “seasons” which are just 8-week periods (week 1 to 8, 9 to 16, etc.). Each season has 56 (8 x 7) days except for season 7, which is the only one that absorbs all the irregularities and typically has 29 days.

    It could be pretty similar to 13-month calendar you described, but I decided to use larger unit and also remove ambiguity about meaning of “month” (all other units means the same thing as in Gregorian + ISO-week-numbering)—by simply abandoning that unit entirely.

    With alacritty, qutebrowser, neovim and LibreWolf. I use my custom dmenu-based utilities for things like launching apps, locking (with slock), controlling (ie. postponing :D) redshift and music player and opening bookmarks, links and searches. Thunar is the most DE-like app I use but being comfortable with Bash i use Thunar just for certain tasks like organizing files like photos. For quick text edits, I sometimes prefer Mousepad. For screenshots it’s slop+maim.

    I don’t “rice”, I just set some color schemes years ago and use simple wallpaper (which I rarely see.) And keep everything as minimal and out of way as possible.

    (I don’t care about Wayland unless I’m somehow forced to. I mean, some of my utils depend on X11 for things like clipboard access but I suppose it could be fixed easily nowadays. However X11 works fine for me so if it ain’t broken…)


  • a moderator removing posts for a very far stretch interpretation of Rule 3

    …stretch by which party? in the sense that the post not really about self-hosting (and OP tried to use rule 3 in a stretched interpretation), or that the post was about self-hosting but moderator applied it in unnecessarily strict way? The way you phrased it seems like the former, but then why would that result in moderator resigning?

    (I’m not a native English speaker so sorry if it should have been clear.)
