I stand for the Constitution, for due process, and for community that
takes care of each other.
A short, probably sensible-only-to-me list of goals. Timeboxed. I’ll also add
other things as I go.
Guiding principles:
- Meet good people. Do good work.
- Keep in touch with folks.
- Focus on a goal: file distractions away for later.
Timeboxed:
- 1 month:
- 3 months:
- 2 months:
- 4 months:
- 2 months:
Generally:
- actively look for local folks: meetups, community groups, unions, etc. (wiki: 2025)
- write more
- Git: collected resources and my workflow
- Critical thinking (wiki: todo/critique)
- write about our experience reshaping our digital lives
- share our general personal computing expertise/experience
- start my book on GUI applications in Racket
- make time for board games (say, 1 big one per month? We play lots of little ones already)
- go to USK 2–3 times/week
- keep writing fun, useful programs.
- think about where to direct open-source energy
- decrease household food waste
Areas I want to learn more about this year:
- Linux
- Keyboard configuration
- Productivity tools: controlling Firefox tabs, dunst/rofi/etc., manipulating my monitor’s settings, …
- Email client (aerc) for open source work
- Setup LSP for ebuilds
- Networking (wiki: linux-concepts/tcp; Rootless pings claims you need root for ping? FasterThanLime has a DIY ping series if memory serves)
- Alternative technology
- Euro Stack
- sourcehut
- Email server, domain, etc. (wiki: 2025)
- VPN?
- VPS or colocated hosting if needed?
- Browsers (wiki: linux) if Firefox truly gets unbearable?
Political ways I can get involved:
- book access and general literacy
- digital/mathematical literacy
- LGBTQIA+ support
- local reporting
- digital control/privacy; personal computing
- de-toxifying masculinity
