Unable to find a suitable alternative ecosystem despite searching very hard, I started a new python project. I navigated choices around package management, directory structure, and unit testing.
After configuring
git
I wrote a short bash script called ghclone
that accepts a github user and repo. It clones the github repository following a particular directory structure. I built the latest stable
cvc5
from source on Ubuntu and added the Java API jar from that build to a maven project using a local maven repository. After installing Arch Linux, I got
google-chrome
from the AUR running by way of installing sway
, git
, and yay
. I configured these packages only minimally for getting started purposes. After installing Arch Linux, I added a non-root user with
sudo
privileges and with privileges to shutdown and restart the machine. I wrote a script called
vaccjob
to automate the transfer, submission, monitoring, and output retrieval of jobs on UVM's in-house supercomputing cluster. After installing Arch Linux and the
iwd
and openresolv
packages, I set up wireless internet access on a Lenovo Thinkpad P52s. I installed Arch Linux on a Lenovo Thinkpad P52s using
btrfs
for the filesystem and grub
for the bootloader. I recorded my process, beginning in a fresh installation image environment and ending with the root user booting into the new system. I took an information theory class at UVM, and later visited two information theory related museums: the Museum of Printing and the New Hampshire Telephone Museum.
I found a healthier relationship to chocolate and other sugary snacks through the use of a commitment device that helped me make responsible choices on behalf of my future self.
