I recently made a YouTube channel to deal with post-grad boredom. It’s nothing serious, but feel free to check it out. I put out some videos a few days ago, one which discusses how a few friends and I recently broke into reading the Psalter (and how you should too) and another showing how I used shell scripting to make a daily chapel corner for a parish website without overly complicated javascript. I also put out a video on how I use GrapheneOS for Orthodox chant.
Tl;dr for people with brain rot
GrapheneOS for chanting
- The stock pdf viewer in Graphene isn’t great and MuPDF doesn’t fix any of the problems
- You can enable a flag in Vanadium for a better pdf viewing experience (tabs etc)
- Tbh feels better than using the iPad, man
Reading the psalter
- The church places value on reading the book of psalms and the saints knew it inside and out
- Church hymnography either frequently pulls from the psalms or just is a psalm.
- You should be reading anyway, what’s 5 more pages? You have time lol.
Shell scripting RSS
- Surprisingly the Greek archdiocese uses RSS/XML to build its daily chapel sections.
- We can leverage that to make a more suckless, bandwidth-preserving chapel corner.
- I do the world a favor by using a shell script to build HTML once a day rather than dynamically creating it with javascript everytime the page loads.
