Optimizing is difficult: I like flat hierarchies because I don't like
directory-hopping, but I also would like a cleaner root for my mono-repo. Bombs
away!
Well it's that time again, folks: spring cleaning!
Here I am musing about a few things that bother me:
- Should I use kebab-case or snake_case?
- It feels ~confusing to have //tools and //utils. What a //projects? Isn't
everything a project? *sigh*

Thanks to the Nix anti-patterns documented here...

...I'm cleaning up some of my Nix expressions. Read the article for more
context.

I changed the name of this project to url-blocker, which lives both
within this repository and at github.com/wpcarro/url-blocker.
|
|
While the idea of managing the hosts at a per-user level appeals much more to me
that running this as root and managing /etc/hosts, I haven't been able to get it
to work.
|
|
While this project would benefit from having test coverage, the current tests
are not providing any useful coverage.
|
|
TL;DR:
- Rename website-blocker to url-blocker
- Add a README.md
- Reads and writes to /etc/hosts
|
|
TL;DR:
- Write FromJSON instances to decode rules.json file
- Prefer Text to String and use the OverloadedStrings language extension
- Read /etc/hosts and append the serialized rules.json to the end
Notes:
- I can remove some of the FromJSON instances and use GHC Generics to define
them for me.
TODO:
- Define the systemd timer unit for this to run
- Ensure script can run with root privileges

I have not been able to get this to work yet, but I hear that it is possible to
maintain a user-specific /etc/hosts.
|
|
Use the Data.Time package to implement the isToday predicate.
|
|
I'd like to ensure that my /etc/hosts file blocks websites at certains times. I
use this to allow / disallow websites at various times of the day.
TODO:
- Add project README
- Add tests
- Publish
- Create a Nix derivation
- Run as a systemd timer unit
- Figure out if I can run this as a user rather than root

Lorri does not cleanly integrate with my corporate device, which cannot run
NixOS. To expose dependencies to Emacs buffers, I will use nix-buffer.el, which
reads its values from dir-locals.nix. To easily expose dependencies from my
existing shell.nix files into dir-locals.nix, I wrote a Nix utility function.

While I do still technically own a Google cloudtop device, I haven't used it in
at least six months. In the interest of pruning non-critical dependencies, I'm
deleting it. I can alway restore it thanks to Git.

I'm not sure if this commit breaks everything in my monorepo. I think it
will.
Why am I doing this? Perhaps it's a bad idea. I don't fully understand how
readTree works. My ignorance is costing me hours of time spent debugging. In an
effort to better understand readTree, I'm removing the default values for my Nix
expression parameters, which I believe have preventing errors from surfacing.

I previously had an alias defined as `simple_vim`, which would start an instance
of Vim with a bare bones config. I had a to-do to Nixify it. That is
now (mostly) to-done.
When I try and install it with `nix-env -f ~/briefcase -iA tools.simple_vim`,
Nix fails and says that pkgs.stdenv is undefined. I will need to fix this one
day, but it is neither important nor urgent...

I had a spare fifteen minutes and decided that I should tidy up my
monorepo. The work of tidying up is not finished; this is a small step in the
right direction.
TL;DR
- Created a tools directory
- Created a scratch directory (see README.md for more information)
- Added README.md to third_party
- Renamed delete_dotfile_symlinks -> symlinkManager
- Packaged symlinkManager as an executable symlink-mgr using buildGo
