<p>Essentially I'm writing their software for them, so then they can just fork it and make proprietary spyware out of it. This has happened to many different projects and you can thank these licenses that don't prevent a license change for proprietary firmware and other nasty stuff that (probably) runs on your GNU/Linux box.

<p>At first it may seem like that but as soon as someone forks your software and changes the license to a non-free license you have MORE proprietary spyware so in the end you're causing more problems than you're solving. The GPL essentially tries to end proprietary software by providing a license which guarantees freedom like I stated in my <a href="https://speedie.gq/post13">previous post.</a> which is something I support.

Should you switch to the GNU GPLv3 license?</p> <p>At first it may seem like that but as soon as someone forks your software and changes the license to a non-free license you have MORE proprietary spyware so in the end you're causing more problems than you're solving.

<p>Now, I would like to add that if you're heavily against the GNU project or the Free Software Foundation due to Richard Stallman, then you probably do not want to use the GPL. And most of the time the people who choose to NOT use the GPL for this reason cannot actually find a justifiable reason for their choice. I don't know about you and it's not my decision but either way the GPL is just a <i>software license</i> and therefore it really doesn't matter who wrote it. Just know that by using a license that doesn't prevent/stop non-free software, you're making the world a worse place.</p> <p>Now, I would like to add that if you're heavily against the GNU project or the Free Software Foundation due to Richard Stallman, then you probably do not want to use the GPL.

<p>In addition to this, it ALWAYS seems like the people calling <i>me</i> an elitist are part of this group. People who will complain about something being difficult without having the patience to read and perform. They will call anyone who uses software that they view difficult to use (for example Gentoo, Arch, or suckless software) an elitist. They can't seem to find one reason why anyone would actually want to use said software except to look cool on the internet.</p> <p>In addition to this, it ALWAYS seems like the people calling <i>me</i> an elitist are part of this group.

<p>I don't think it needs to be said but I've been doing some changes to this website recently. If you saw yesterday's blog post, I talked about some changes I had made, such as introducing a speedwm and general wiki to the site. I made some changes to the wiki shortly after publishing that blog post, and today I made even more changes so I think it justifies another blog post. Either way, this blog post is practically just an extension to the last one.</p> <p>I don't think it needs to be said but I've been doing some changes to this website recently.

<p>Now, why did I make these changes, and why the title which (seemingly) has nothing to do with the point of this blog post anyway? Well, you see I decided to try to set up a Git server by myself for a few reasons and that's exactly what I really want to talk about, I just think I should put the wiki changes in this post as well. First of all, I should mention that the speedwm wiki has moved to <a href="https://speedwm.speedie.gq">speedwm.speedie.gq</a> and the more.. general wiki has moved to <a href="https://wiki.speedie.gq">wiki.speedie.gq</a>. I'm doing this because it's good practice, really. Besides, I want to be able to use projects/speedwm again if necessary. I have updated the blog post to reflect these changes of course, but just keep that in mind.</p> <p>Now, why did I make these changes, and why the title which (seemingly) has nothing to do with the point of this blog post anyway?

<p>Alright, let's talk about <code>cgit</code>, which is likely why you clicked on this blog post in the first place. cgit as the name implies is a git frontend which allows you to go through commits and other nice things using your browser.. alright alright I think we all know what it is now but cgit is written in C, no not C++, Rust or any other garbage, just plain perfect C. It's also very minimal but still offers basic functionality and even some nice things like RSS feeds for commits, which I talked about in my blog post about <a href="https://codeberg.org">Codeberg</a>, which is really nice for people like myself who primarily use the internet through these feeds anyway.</p> <p>Alright, let's talk about <code>cgit</code>, which is likely why you clicked on this blog post in the first place. cgit as the name implies is a git frontend which allows you to go through commits and other nice things using your browser.. alright alright I think we all know what it is now but cgit is written in C, no not C++, Rust or any other garbage, just plain perfect C.

<p>I looked at other solutions as well, such as stagit but they all had annoying flaws which cgit didn't seem to have so I decided to attempt to host an instance of cgit. I would say it went relatively well, and it was definitely a learning experience. I don't think I've learned this much about Git in 30 minutes ever before, so I'm definitely glad I did it for that reason as well.</p> <p>I looked at other solutions as well, such as stagit but they all had annoying flaws which cgit didn't seem to have so I decided to attempt to host an instance of cgit.

<p>By now, you may be wondering if I'm going to leave Codeberg. I have no plans to leave Codeberg, but some of my projects are going to be moved to <a href="https://git.speedie.gq">git.speedie.gq</a> because internet independence is always a good thing, and I like the control this gives me. As of writing this blog post, speedwm, speedwm-extras, speedwm-wiki, libspeedwm, spmenu, st and speediegq all have repositories on git.speedie.gq, some more are going to be moved and the Codeberg repositories for these are going to stay as backups that will be updated around each version bump/release. Some repositories will stay on Codeberg as it's just unnecessary to move them to git.speedie.gq for various reasons such as lack of quality.</p> <p>By now, you may be wondering if I'm going to leave Codeberg.

<p>Either way, I think that's all I have to say, next blog post is probably going to be about my computer setup in general (it's VERY different from the norm, beyond just the operating system and window manager). So yeah, check out <a href="https://git.speedie.gq">git.speedie.gq</a>, and the wiki if you haven't already, and have a good day!</p> <p>Either way, I think that's all I have to say, next blog post is probably going to be about my computer setup in general (it's VERY different from the norm, beyond just the operating system and window manager).

<p>Today I want to just quickly talk about some important (and some lesser important) stuff regarding my software projects. First of all, let's talk about spmenu. In addition to the color support I added a month or two ago, spmenu now has image support. I initially couldn't think of many uses for this, however it's actually really useful. Let's say I want to list out all my wallpapers and set one as my wallpaper. My current wallpaper script actually uses a separate program for that, sxiv. But now that spmenu has image support I can actually just preview the wallpapers in spmenu right away, without an external program. This actually makes it more powerful than a lot of terminal emulators. Pretty cool if you ask me.</p> <p>Today I want to just quickly talk about some important (and some lesser important) stuff regarding my software projects. First of all, let's talk about spmenu.

<p>I have also made significant changes to another one of my projects, that being spDE. It now includes a helpful script which handles starting speedwm but more importantly handles installing configuration files. This means to install spDE now you only need to emerge it and use the spde commmand to set it up with configuration files. Saves even more time for me, and if you need an easy to use but efficient desktop environment which allows you to easily get into efficient software it's also good for that.</p> <p>I have also made significant changes to another one of my projects, that being spDE.

<p>I also have a new project now called ivtools. ivtools is mostly a collection of ffmpeg and imagemagick snippets, whenever I need to do something with a video file I will put the ffmpeg command in a script. The goal is to eventually have scripts for most simple things a video editor can do, so that you don't need to start bloated editors like Blender or kdenlive when you just want to do basic video editing like adding music or cutting video. You can get ivtools <a href="https://git.speedie.gq/ivtools">here</a>.</p> <p>I also have a new project now called ivtools. ivtools is mostly a collection of ffmpeg and imagemagick snippets, whenever I need to do something with a video file I will put the ffmpeg command in a script.

<p>I have recently started using a program called dnote. dnote is a dmenu fork, but the only similarity it retains is libdrw and the general structure of dmenu because dnote is a notification daemon. This similarity to dmenu makes it really easy to add new things into it. I have myself added .Xresources and alpha into dnote. You can get my build <a href="https://git.speedie.gq/dnote">here</a> if you want to try it out. You'll definitely see me using this in shell scripts soon, in fact I plan on migrating speedwm modules and speedwm-extras scripts to using it. It's great, pretty much notifications but better in every way.</p> <p>I have recently started using a program called dnote. dnote is a dmenu fork, but the only similarity it retains is libdrw and the general structure of dmenu because dnote is a notification daemon.

<p>As for speedwm, I'm pretty happy with it and while I have plans on doing things with it, they'll probably be in the form of a new project. For one, I want a rule and keybind configuration file which will require major changes to be made. I also want to rewrite the status, so that each status module is a different bar module.</p> <p>As for speedwm, I'm pretty happy with it and while I have plans on doing things with it, they'll probably be in the form of a new project.

<h4>2023-02-27</h4> <h4>2023-02-27</h4>
<p>Yesterday I decided to get some work done and ported most of my Gentoo packages for my software, such as speedwm and spmenu but much more to Arch. Of course, first I had to learn how to actually do this, but as it turns out, it’s actually even easier than on Gentoo.

I was able to create all of these packages, including testing in less than an hour.</p>
<p>I had to make a few minor changes to spDE for it to work on Arch, such as changing the owner of the home folder to the user rather than the user’s group but for the most part it works perfectly. No, the package will not be on the AUR as I do not want the user to have to deal with compiling the stuff locally. I also don’t want to deal with the AUR moderators potentially deleting packages.</p> <p>I had to make a few minor changes to spDE for it to work on Arch, such as changing the owner of the home folder to the user rather than the user’s group but for the most part it works perfectly.

<p>With that said, if you want to install spDE on your Arch box, add my <a href="https://git.speedie.gq/speedie-aur">arch repository</a> (instructions in README) and <code>pacman -Syyu</code>. Then simply <code>pacman -S spde</code> provided the sync completed successfully! The rest of the steps are the same as on Gentoo, run <code>spde -i</code>, <code>spde -a &lt;your user&gt;</code> and finally <code>startx /usr/bin/spde -r</code> to start spDE.</p> <p>With that said, if you want to install spDE on your Arch box, add my <a href="https://git.speedie.site/speedie-aur">arch repository</a> (instructions in README) and <code>pacman -Syyu</code>.

<p>spDE on Arch is <em>nearly</em> identical to spDE on Gentoo. There are a few minor differences but they shouldn’t be that noticeable.

<p>Unlike rchat, iron is minimal in design and only does what you expect a basic client to do. It does not have auto updating, no history, no donate command, no news, no changelog, and no :open. It also brings a much cleaner and improved codebase. Because of this, bugs are less likely and the client is much faster. The user doesn&#39;t have to run lines of code he doesn&#39;t need.</p> <p>Unlike rchat, iron is minimal in design and only does what you expect a basic client to do.

<p>Most importantly though, iron does not use the old messages.txt method used by older instances. This also means iron is the first rautafarmi client to use and support the new JSON based rautafarmi API. This API is much faster and will allow compatible instances to push updates without breaking client support.</p> <p>Most importantly though, iron does not use the old messages.txt method used by older instances.

No, this is not some bloated wiki solution, it's done using purely PHP and CSS, and articles are written in Markdown!

No, this is not some bloated wiki solution, it's done using purely PHP and CSS, and articles are written in Markdown! This is great, because speedwm documentation is already written in Markdown and has been for a while. Not only that, but speedwm has it's own separate wiki, because a lot of information is speedwm related.</p>
<p>Now, I want to get speedwm 1.9 out soon, especially since it has been two full months since the last release and over 100 commits since then, but I want to move some documentation over to the speedwm specific wiki first, as I think the man page is growing very, <strong>very</strong> big. That is not great, not to mention any documentation in a tarball cannot be updated as the release has already happened. Not ideal, is it?</p> <p>Now, I want to get speedwm 1.9 out soon, especially since it has been two full months since the last release and over 100 commits since then, but I want to move some documentation over to the speedwm specific wiki first, as I think the man page is growing very, <strong>very</strong> big.

<p>Also, a speedwm wiki was pretty much necessary at this point. While you <em>can</em> pull request to the speediegq repository on Codeberg, there's a lot of delay and work involved in that, when all you want to do is say, fix a simple typo or something like that. However not only can you edit existing articles written by me, but you can also create new articles if you feel like something is missing. While this is speedwm documentation, a lot of it also applies to dwm, so if you're into hacking on dwm you might want to check out the wiki!</p> <p>Also, a speedwm wiki was pretty much necessary at this point.

<p>As for the more general wiki, it's far, FAR from complete so far. In fact there is only one article. But I plan on slowly expanding it as time goes on. With that said, you may be wondering what wiki solution I went with. Did I write my own? What wiki solutions are there that aren't absolutely massive and terrible?</p> <p>As for the more general wiki, it's far, FAR from complete so far. In fact there is only one article.

<p>Of course, <a href="https://github.com/panicsteve/w2wiki">w2wiki</a>. w2wiki is written purely in PHP and CSS, and articles are written in Markdown as stated previously. I have to say I really like w2wiki and I have no plans to use something different. I will say, I don't really like the default CSS, however we're not soydevs here, so I changed that to fit the theme and minimalism of the regular speedie.gq website.</p> <p>Of course, <a href="https://github.com/panicsteve/w2wiki">w2wiki</a>. w2wiki is written purely in PHP and CSS, and articles are written in Markdown as stated previously.

<p>Anyways, that's just a small post for today, I have two more suckless related posts coming up relatively soon, but after that I hope to write some more classic blog posts.

If you saw yesterday's blog post, I talked about some changes I had made, such as introducing a speedwm and general wiki to the site.

Either way, this blog post is practically just an extension to the last one.</p> <![CDATA[<p>I don't think it needs to be said but I've been doing some changes to this website recently.

I made some changes to the wiki shortly after publishing that blog post, and today I made even more changes so I think it justifies another blog post. Either way, this blog post is practically just an extension to the last one.</p>
<p>Now, why did I make these changes, and why the title which (seemingly) has nothing to do with the point of this blog post anyway? Well, you see I decided to try to set up a Git server by myself for a few reasons and that's exactly what I really want to talk about, I just think I should put the wiki changes in this post as well. First of all, I should mention that the speedwm wiki has moved to <a href="https://speedwm.speedie.gq">speedwm.speedie.gq</a> and the more.. general wiki has moved to <a href="https://wiki.speedie.gq">wiki.speedie.gq</a>. I'm doing this because it's good practice, really. Besides, I want to be able to use projects/speedwm again if necessary. I have updated the blog post to reflect these changes of course, but just keep that in mind.</p> <p>Now, why did I make these changes, and why the title which (seemingly) has nothing to do with the point of this blog post anyway?

<p>Alright, let's talk about <code>cgit</code>, which is likely why you clicked on this blog post in the first place. cgit as the name implies is a git frontend which allows you to go through commits and other nice things using your browser.. alright alright I think we all know what it is now but cgit is written in C, no not C++, Rust or any other garbage, just plain perfect C. It's also very minimal but still offers basic functionality and even some nice things like RSS feeds for commits, which I talked about in my blog post about <a href="https://codeberg.org">Codeberg</a>, which is really nice for people like myself who primarily use the internet through these feeds anyway.</p> <p>Alright, let's talk about <code>cgit</code>, which is likely why you clicked on this blog post in the first place. cgit as the name implies is a git frontend which allows you to go through commits and other nice things using your browser.. alright alright I think we all know what it is now but cgit is written in C, no not C++, Rust or any other garbage, just plain perfect C.

<p>I looked at other solutions as well, such as stagit but they all had annoying flaws which cgit didn't seem to have so I decided to attempt to host an instance of cgit. I would say it went relatively well, and it was definitely a learning experience. I don't think I've learned this much about Git in 30 minutes ever before, so I'm definitely glad I did it for that reason as well.</p> <p>I looked at other solutions as well, such as stagit but they all had annoying flaws which cgit didn't seem to have so I decided to attempt to host an instance of cgit.

<p>By now, you may be wondering if I'm going to leave Codeberg. I have no plans to leave Codeberg, but some of my projects are going to be moved to <a href="https://git.speedie.gq">git.speedie.gq</a> because internet independence is always a good thing, and I like the control this gives me. As of writing this blog post, speedwm, speedwm-extras, speedwm-wiki, libspeedwm, spmenu, st and speediegq all have repositories on git.speedie.gq, some more are going to be moved and the Codeberg repositories for these are going to stay as backups that will be updated around each version bump/release. Some repositories will stay on Codeberg as it's just unnecessary to move them to git.speedie.gq for various reasons such as lack of quality.</p> <p>By now, you may be wondering if I'm going to leave Codeberg.

<p>Either way, I think that's all I have to say, next blog post is probably going to be about my computer setup in general (it's VERY different from the norm, beyond just the operating system and window manager). So yeah, check out <a href="https://git.speedie.gq">git.speedie.gq</a>, and the wiki if you haven't already, and have a good day!</p>]]> <p>Either way, I think that's all I have to say, next blog post is probably going to be about my computer setup in general (it's VERY different from the norm, beyond just the operating system and window manager).

<![CDATA[<p>Today I want to just quickly talk about some important (and some lesser important) stuff regarding my software projects. First of all, let's talk about spmenu. In addition to the color support I added a month or two ago, spmenu now has image support. I initially couldn't think of many uses for this, however it's actually really useful. Let's say I want to list out all my wallpapers and set one as my wallpaper. My current wallpaper script actually uses a separate program for that, sxiv. But now that spmenu has image support I can actually just preview the wallpapers in spmenu right away, without an external program. This actually makes it more powerful than a lot of terminal emulators. Pretty cool if you ask me.</p> <![CDATA[<p>Today I want to just quickly talk about some important (and some lesser important) stuff regarding my software projects.

<p>I have also made significant changes to another one of my projects, that being spDE. It now includes a helpful script which handles starting speedwm but more importantly handles installing configuration files. This means to install spDE now you only need to emerge it and use the spde commmand to set it up with configuration files. Saves even more time for me, and if you need an easy to use but efficient desktop environment which allows you to easily get into efficient software it's also good for that.</p> <p>I have also made significant changes to another one of my projects, that being spDE.

<p>I also have a new project now called ivtools. ivtools is mostly a collection of ffmpeg and imagemagick snippets, whenever I need to do something with a video file I will put the ffmpeg command in a script. The goal is to eventually have scripts for most simple things a video editor can do, so that you don't need to start bloated editors like Blender or kdenlive when you just want to do basic video editing like adding music or cutting video. You can get ivtools <a href="https://git.speedie.gq/ivtools">here</a>.</p> <p>I also have a new project now called ivtools. ivtools is mostly a collection of ffmpeg and imagemagick snippets, whenever I need to do something with a video file I will put the ffmpeg command in a script.

<p>I have recently started using a program called dnote. dnote is a dmenu fork, but the only similarity it retains is libdrw and the general structure of dmenu because dnote is a notification daemon. This similarity to dmenu makes it really easy to add new things into it. I have myself added .Xresources and alpha into dnote. You can get my build <a href="https://git.speedie.gq/dnote">here</a> if you want to try it out. You'll definitely see me using this in shell scripts soon, in fact I plan on migrating speedwm modules and speedwm-extras scripts to using it. It's great, pretty much notifications but better in every way.</p> <p>I have recently started using a program called dnote. dnote is a dmenu fork, but the only similarity it retains is libdrw and the general structure of dmenu because dnote is a notification daemon.

<p>Yesterday I decided to get some work done and ported most of my Gentoo packages for my software, such as speedwm and spmenu but much more to Arch.

I was able to create all of these packages, including testing in less than an hour.</p>
<p>I had to make a few minor changes to spDE for it to work on Arch, such as changing the owner of the home folder to the user rather than the user’s group but for the most part it works perfectly. No, the package will not be on the AUR as I do not want the user to have to deal with compiling the stuff locally. I also don’t want to deal with the AUR moderators potentially deleting packages.</p> <p>I had to make a few minor changes to spDE for it to work on Arch, such as changing the owner of the home folder to the user rather than the user’s group but for the most part it works perfectly.

<p>With that said, if you want to install spDE on your Arch box, add my <a href="https://git.speedie.gq/speedie-aur">arch repository</a> (instructions in README) and <code>pacman -Syyu</code>. Then simply <code>pacman -S spde</code> provided the sync completed successfully! The rest of the steps are the same as on Gentoo, run <code>spde -i</code>, <code>spde -a &lt;your user&gt;</code> and finally <code>startx /usr/bin/spde -r</code> to start spDE.</p> <p>With that said, if you want to install spDE on your Arch box, add my <a href="https://git.speedie.site/speedie-aur">arch repository</a> (instructions in README) and <code>pacman -Syyu</code>.

<p>spDE on Arch is <em>nearly</em> identical to spDE on Gentoo. There are a few minor differences but they shouldn’t be that noticeable.
