Welcome to my web page on the internet! This is a work in progress, and I will add things as I see fit. My hole purpose for this site is to invoke that feeling that surfing the web in ~03 could give.

Here is a link to my own github. All of the projects are free to use as you see fit, although I find it hard that anyone would find anything of use there.

Scripts

These scripts are just used for fun. One sends a brief weather report to my Nokia 1112 every morning, and all the others are WIP.

Living that terminal life - origins

2025-06-17

For the last few months I've been thinking about and reading about how we (internet users) never actually choose what we consume online. I have been feeling this for a long time, but I'm happy to see alot of other people putting my feelings about it into words.

So for the past weeks (months? I don't even know anymore) I have been trying to use the Linux terminal for as much of my everyday computing as I can. I have been using Linux as a daily driver for a few years now, but I have never been too comfortable with the COMMAND LINE INTERFACE. Sure, I've always used it du update and download applications and such, but not for anything else. So I decided it was time to learn!

In this series of blog posts, which I will post when and how I god damn please, I will go through my setups, my thoughts about what I'm doing, and what tools I'm using. There is no comment section here, but feel free to send me an email at my personal email adress..

Where to start? Lynx? Lynx!

2023-06-23

Alright so there is alot to cover in the "tErMiNaL wAy oF lIfE", but I gotta start somewhere.

Lynx is a internet browser as old as time. It can only display text, and it's great for sites without JavaScript and such filth.

I don't change much with the Lynx settings. There are however 2 very important changes that I have to make before I can start using it.

1. Turn the VI-keys ON. Using the arrow keys are for children and beast-people.


2. Add this line to your lynx.cfg (mostly found @ /etc/lynx.cfg) TEXTFIELDS_NEED_ACTIVATION:TRUE. This will make is so that if you are scrolling a website using hjkl, Lynx won't stop at a text input field and start entering the letters you are using (mostly 'j'...). This is a real life saver, trust me.


3. (BONUS!!) Do yourself a favor and use ~/lynx_bookmarks.html as a start page. It's really easy to edit directly in Lynx, and it loads in milliseconds.

Once this is set up, just start using it! At first it can feel really stale and boring, but that's kinda the point. But if you keep using it, it's really really good and fast.

ONE LAST THING!! I always have the first link in my lynx_bookmakrs.html as a search engine of my choice. This makes it easy and fast to access when you open Lynx.

This is where I plan to put some screenshots of things I think are cool. Stay tuned!
