- I enjoyed my workflow with ncftp, uploading all files with a one-liner. Sadly ncftp can’t (or I couldn’t figure out) how to skip existing files and upload only new and/or modified files. lftp on the other hand has the option to only upload new/modified files with the --only-newer flag. This post is basically just a test if all works. With lftp I can upload all the necessary files by running lftp sftp://server --user username --password password -e "set ftp:ss-allow no; mirror -R local-path remote-path --only-newer; quit"Updated
November 5, 2020 - ZSH After switching from Bash to ZSH, I discovered oh-my-zsh. oh-my-zsh oh-my-zsh is a great customizable framework adding a lot of functionality to ZSH. While I heard and on older hardware definitely noticed the overhead from oh-my-zsh throttling the performance of the terminal, I have no problem with the small setup I am using at the moment, especially on a new device like the T480s. plugins The cool part about oh-my-zsh is the easy plugin management.Updated
July 14, 2020 - the installing process Since Clion is available from the AUR you can simply install it with your favourite AUR package manager.\ I switched from pacaur to yay but made an alias so I can still use the pacaur command (don’t ask me why). In my case I would write pacaur -S clion in the terminal, which downloads the package and runs the makepkg script. And that’s how you install clion on Archlinux.Updated
October 17, 2019 - Since switching to the T480s I had some scaling problems running Budgie. As it turns out, a lot of these problmes come from using X instead of wayland. I had never used wayland before but figured out, if Fedora and Ubuntu use it as their main display server, I should give it a try. Apparently GNOME automatically installs with option to start the desktop environment with wayland instead of X but due to some bugs in LightDM I couldn’t select GNOME with Wayland as my DE.Updated
July 8, 2019 - Developing the film Recently I started to develop my own negatives. I became an avid analog shooter last year but never dared to develop the negatives at home. After watching a lot of different YouTube channels like Matt Day and the Art of Photography talk about developing film, I got more interested and started researching. As it turns out, some shops sell beginners kits with everything you need f.e. the Paterson Tank, a changing bag and all the chemicals necessary.Updated
June 30, 2019 - I like to listen to Spotify while showering. For that I use a bluetooth speaker connected to my Alexa. Sadly the Spotify track-history is quite lacking, that’s why I decided to create my own Spotify track-history with Python and Spotipy. Since I had already done some projects with Python and Spotipy, I finished this one rather quickly but I am really happy with the end result. It’s really simple, checking which song is played every 20 seconds and save that into a JSON-file if the song has changed.Updated
