This is a woefully underpowered laptop I got for free! I'm working to make it into a secure portable machine (since it does support secureboot & TPM-backed disk encryption) to take on the go that I don't fear losing. This is mostly for doing programming & study, on stuff that doesn't require high-performances, so the 2 gigs of RAM are just about enough for regular use -- and it prevents me from being distracted, as I can't load most website on that poor thing…

I'm using 2 bars -- I originally only wanted to use a vertical one, unfortunately not all waybar modules support rotation, so I settled for this, which works quite well in my experience :3

Stuff I use:

• Catppuccin Frappe as a color scheme on most things
• Emacs for programming & taking notes (org-mode my beloved)
• Alacritty as a terminal, with the fish shell
• Firefox (fuck chromium)
• stmps as a music player, connected to my selfhosted Nextcloud instance, with a bunch of songs obtained through legal means (obviously)
• Waybar for a bar, with nm-applet for controlling networkmanager and blueman-applet for controlling bluetooth
• fcitx5 + mozc for japanese input
• dwl with the following patches
  • ipc
  • toplevel management
  • touchscreen
  • autostart

I will probably release all my configs in an organized way once I feel like this setup is closer to completion.

For those who may not know, the IPA (international phonetics alphabet) is widely used for writing out how words are spoken. It's very useful for linguists writing research papers, and for people looking to learn new languages!

As I wasn't satisfied with most IPA keyboards available, and wanted something that integrated well with fcitx, which I already have to use for japanese input, I re-implemented parts of the SIL IPA keyboard . It's not a one-to-one recreation (yet), because I needed somthing now rather than later, and took some shortcuts to put in all the features I personally needed, but it should be good enough for doing broad transcription of RP English. It should also be fairly trivial to hack in support for most character combinations.

Feel free to check out the git repo!

I would like to have a browser with some long running tabs available at all time on all my workspaces -- is there an extension for that?

I'm working on a daemon & collection of other tools and configs to bring better support for 2-in-1 convertible tablets/laptops to Wayland/wlroots compositors!

This is a preview of how it works on my Lenovo Miix 320-10icr, though I want to extend support to as many devices as possible in the future!

code

Right now the only other supported device is the Google Caroline (“Samsung Chromebook Pro”) though I'm looking to support as many devices as possible! Right now, I'm working on better hardware detection to make it work out of the box on more devices.
If you have one of such devices, feel free to get in touch, my contact info is on my website: yukijoou.kemonomimi.gay, I'd be more than happy to help you make your device work with this tool!

Notable features right now:

• Working screen rotation using iio sensors
• Keyboard/basestation detection using libusb and specific pid/vids
• Hooks that run on docking/undocking, so you can write your own shell scripts to do fancy things
• A fcitx add-on that adds hooks on input field focus/unfocus to bring full on-screen keyboard support with IME to Wayland (probably the most useful part of this project, may be nice to have on Linux mobile distros if you're into that sorta things!)
