1. Install and Set Up Clion on Archlinux

   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.

2. TIL LightDM can't start Wayland

   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.

3. Developing and Scanning Film at Home

   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.

4. Spotify tracklist history

   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.

5. Improving Workflow Part2

   using ncftpput to make the whole uploading a one-liner gives me the possibility to run hugo && ncftpput -u username -p password servername remotepath localpath to update my page. For me that’s good enough.

6. Improving Workflow

   Since I dislike my current workflow of building the page myself and then copying it with FileZilla, I am searching for a CLI - FTP Client to ‘automate’ the process. My only requirement would be not having to copy the files ‘per hand’. So far I am trying lftp to upload the files. Update Apparently lftp can’t upload the folder structure correctly. That’s why I switched to ncFTP. I still need to figure out if it’s possbile to save the credentials to login via FTP, as soon as that’s working I am fine with the workflow for now.
