IKEA
Furniture assembly was fun at first, but it can be really hard work. At least when it comes to beds. So many screws. So many pieces. Even needed to hammer a few times. The whole thing took a day, but most of it was just for the bed.
Though in the bed's defense, I should have chosen a bed without cabinets. The six cabinets alone added so much more work. And I could only use three anyway because the bed is in a corner.
All the complications come at a cost. I made a mistake one, then panicked because I thought that was it. But fortunately I could unscrew a few things and move the piece around. Crisis averted, but one screw might be broken.
That's not the worst of all because one screw would not just come in. Probably slight misalignment of the hole between two pieces of wood. Not much I can do about it.
All in all. Not bad. Stubbed a finger once. Scratched an arm once. Stubbed another toe once. The last one was bloody but I didn't notice. So there was a blood trail from the bed to the front door, and in the socks. First blood in the new apartment.
New apartment! First hand contract. I'm going to live here forever.

Goodbye pekwm, hello i3
pekwm switched to fossil as version control. Tried fossil a bit, didn't like it. And the fact that it's buggy with steam, and a single developer project, so it's more like the last push.
After reading through i3 user guide and playing around a bit, not bad. gkrellm has to change from "panel" mode to normal, and it can be focused, which isn't great. But it probably will be gone after some more work on i3bar to show I/O as well (i3status contrib has a script to show network load already).

Late
Back home at 10:30. I have never been out this late for at least 10 years. The modern door lock looks like is going to cause problems with deliveries. And how come deliveries come so late, until 10 PM?

Hibernate linux
Trying to hibernate for the very first time, as I've been doing suspend to ram all this time. It didn't work, and I thought it had something to do with nvidia which caused problems with suspend before.
It turns out, resume=UUID=... is not accepted (but the kernel didn't
say anything) while resume=PARTUUID... is fine. In retrospect I
should have suspected why /sys/power/resume didn't reflect resume=
According to the internet, UUID is inside a filesystem, while PARTUUID is inside partition table. At boot time, the kernel can see partitition content, but not the file system. Which kinda makes sense I guess because you would need to load the related fs module and peek inside. And that's a no no for resuming from hiberation.

I slept for too long on rice cooker
Watched a video the other day. It never occurred to me I could put more than just rice in the rice cooker. Add half a bouillon cube (a whole one is too much). Add some frozen vegetables, no need to thaw. Add some meat as well if you feel like it. Close the lid. Meal ready in 30 minutes.

deno and vite, part 1
Suddenly wanted to look at javascript again (and not because of the react vulnerability). First step though is to go small(-ish). So forget react, let's just start a new server. Which seems to be vite in this case somehow.
Creating a new project is just
deno run -A npm:create-vite-extra --template deno-vanilla
which prepares everything and starting is just
cd vite-project
deno task dev
The project name will be asked during deno run. The --template can
be dropped too and be chosen from a TUI-like list.
Not really sure how URL routing works yet, but any .html file at topdir shows up in the web browser's top URL as well. In dev mode, vite inserts
<script type="module" src="/@vite/client"></script>
which probably helps auto reload the page when the source file is
changed. It should be in <head> node if it's there otherwise it's
directly under <html>. That's 1000 lines or 179kb, no way to
actually read it.
In the .html file, src attribute of <script> tag is rewritten. src
is local path while of course the real path has to be URL. The rest
seems standard typescript.
One interesting bit is the import statement from javascript
apparently can load css as well. We don't even need separate html tag
for that. Or importing an SVG to a variable. The variable apparently
contains the SVG embedded in the URL (with data: "protocol").

Nail growth speed
Bumped the big toe on the door near the end of February. It was more like under the door while it was being pulled open. Big dark spot at the root of the toe nail after all the bleeding stopped. It's now November and that spot is nearly gone. So it takes approximately eight months to fully grow a toe nail.

Best day in four years
Finally got a first-hand rent contract after being in the queue for three years. That's honestly short compared to the horror stories about Stockholm housing. A little bit further away from the center. But eh, I never go there anyway.
