The Death of Termite
Termite was archived by the maintainer of the project this week.Some people have questioned why it mattered to me when the likes of Alacritty, kitty, and st exist.

I'll be perfectly honest, I've spent the vast majority of the last few days in dwm, despite promising myself that I was going to give xmonad a real try.But there's just something severely frustrating about wanting to get something to work only for it to not work. At all. DT and his xmona...

Local vs Streaming Music
This has really little to do with Linux, but I was curious? Any of you have a preference between using your own music collection or using a service like Spotify?I've been going back and forth over the last few months, and I can't really decide which I like better. I own all the music I could...
