Linux

DNS ad blocker. My network setup is more complex than I can understand and if I set up AdGuard/PiHole I have issues.

My TV. *arr stilll not set up and the gaming rig is still in its planning phase.

the lack of XWayland support scares me

I've been using niri lately and couldn't believe so many apps wouldn't launch. I didn't know that was the issue. I had been manually editing so many desktop entries to make them work...

I would like to give a proper try to a tiling window manager. I would like to try QTile, but I haven't gone through the documentation to understand how to customize it properly. Currently, I use GNOME (and actually, I like it a lot). Also, I love TMUX, and the idea of having the same flexibility and keyboard-centric experience on a broader level makes me think that I will love a tiling window manager when I try it. I'm interested in QTile because I know it's configured in Python (which is a programming language I already know), and apparently, it can be used on either X or Wayland. Have you ever tried using it on Wayland? Does it work properly? Besides QTile, what else would you recommend?

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the question is perhaps a bit of a weird answer--but I really want to learn SELinux. It's completely overkill for my Linux desktop and the few services I run on my network. The same with OpenLDAP, I want to play around with it even though I have no real need for it with my setup, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

On that note, I also feel like I want to learn Ansible, or some other configuration management tool. The thing is, I haven't even played around with it (or any others) enough to really even get what the intended use case is. I'm looking for ways to manage policies and configurations across multiple machines in a common way, but it feels like the more common use case is deploying webapps. So while it's on my list of things I want to learn I don't even have sufficient background at the moment.

Then, finally, the other thing that came to mind was timeshift--or really BTRFS snapshots in general. It would be nice to have that additional feeling of safety while playing around with my systems.

Also I stopped Using Emacs.... because it's very slow

I've been using a mix of Emacs and Neovim and plan to switch completely to Neovim when I have replicated enough of my Emacs config to be comfortable in Neovim. And speed is the main reason why.

Also, qutebrowser. I want to use it but it lacks workspaces support and as a self proclaimed tab hoarder I need my workspaces. I'm also still looking into a pasword manager for it (though I can always just use Bitwarden as an app)

Nginx. I'm going to learn soon but I'm still new and it seems easy to screw up exposing things to the Internet.

Virtual reality, but an old friend of mine has kindly offered to buy me an Oculus Quest 2 so I'm very much looking forward to what VR can offer.

What are you using instead of emacs? I'm very happy with my doom emacs setup and it doesn't feel slow at all imo

Virtual Machines, but I'm too dumb to figure it out.
