+
+Music has a profound effect on me. It dictates my mood, helps me process
+emotions or keeps me focused. It motivates me when I'm running & helps me when
+I'm down. And of course, I'm listening to some great music while writing this
+post.
+
+I felt like writing, mostly because I was feeling a bit like shit. It calms me
+down, helps me put things in order. The idea to write about music just popped
+into my head, but I've had it in the back of mind for a while now.
+
+Music really is something special. It can evoke such a wide range of emotions,
+from blissful joy to a depressed pitfall & everything in between. Whenever I'm
+feeling down I just crack up some tunes. Not necessarily happy tunes mind you,
+sometimes it's better to soak in the sadness for a bit, there's no point in
+keeping it inside.
+
+According to most people's standards, I listen to music *a lot*. I put in my
+earbuds when I leave for classes at 8AM, or put on my headphones when I'm
+working behind my desk. Every time I ride my bike, walk or run, I'm listening
+to music. Whenever I'm studying or programming, I'm listening to music. In
+total, I probably listen to music for at least 6 hours a day. Luckily that is
+more than enough to justify buying a Tidal subscription for 10 euros a month ;p
+
+That does bring me to my next point; I'm an audiophile. I love high resolution
+audio & my audio setup reflects that. My Sennheiser HD 660S are very dear to
+me, and they've provided me with hundreds of hours of listening pleasure at
+this point.
+
+I'm not really picky with what genres of music I listen to either. The music
+just has to provide a certain feeling that fits my current mood. I do prefer
+listening to entire albums, which is why I've amassed a great list of albums
+that I love to listen to. Despite my horrible memory I tend to navigate this
+list just fine, with each song just coming up as a feeling in the moment & my
+mind magically navigating to the right album.
+
+My love for music has been around for as long as I can remember. Back in high
+school I was constantly listening to music; I've even played the piano for
+years before stopping due to a lack of interest. Sadly that spirals back to my
+lack of motivation for most things, but I digress.
+
+The truth is, I wanted to write, just write, to process the exam stress that
+I'm going through right now. I've got exams in two weeks & as usual, the stress
+has been killing me. My horrible sleep hygiene doesn't help either. I rarely go
+to bed before midnight & when I do, I just lie awake in bed, thinking. Thinking
+of how I'll have to study more tomorrow, because otherwise I won't make it. A
+constant fear of failure looms above me, ready to eat me up inside.
+
+Well, this post got depressing quite fast, I'm sorry about that. Thing is, I
+want to use this site to express myself, so when I'm feeling stressed, I want
+to express that as well. It's liberating in a way, sharing this information
+with "the world", in my own controlled way.
+
+If you've gotten this far, thank for you reading through my ramblings &
+insecurities, I do truly appreciate it. Au revoir.

+
+Or at least, that's how I experience it. Let me explain.
+
+I have a lot of sideprojects. Most would say too many (I'm inclined to agree).
+I often start these projects because I feel like it, without a particular
+purpose or useful goal in mind. Programming is just something that I really
+enjoy, so I tend to create ideas out of thin air just because I want to write
+something, anything. There is however another group of sideprojects, the ones
+that I start because I need something. Those that fix an annoyance, or make my
+life easier. What I've noticed is that I'm a lot more productive & less easily
+burned out when I'm working on these kinds of projects.
+
+One of those projects (and my main project atm) is
+[Vieter](https://git.rustybever.be/Chewing_Bever/vieter). I originally wrote a
+full description of Vieter here & why I needed it, but that's really not what
+this post is about. You can still read about it in [the docs](/docs/vieter/#why)
+if you want. The important part to take away from this is that it's something I
+really need. It made me more productive and greatly pushed down my update
+times, which I personally find very important. That's why I'm getting a lot of
+things done for this project, because I know that it'll be worth it in the end
+& improve my life.
+
+To show the other site of the spectrum, my original idea for this site was a
+collection of microservices, with a complex authentication system & a full
+JavaScript frontend ([source](https://git.rustybever.be/rusty-bever)). Let's
+just admit it here, this idea was way too ambitious and not even *that* useful.
+The only part that I'm actually still considering writing is the authentication
+part, because I do have some other ideas to go along with those, but that's
+another post entirely ;p
+
+Due to this overkill idea, I didn't actually set up this site for over a year I
+think, just because I just couldn't get myself to properly work on the
+implementation. I actually really enjoy writing these blog-style posts, so it's
+quite sad I didn't set up a proper Hugo-based site immediately. Gladly at some
+point I got through my stubbornness, and I set up this site in less than a day
+:) This site still runs on [a custom backend](/switch-to-axum), but it's much
+more minimal and only supports what I really need. My mind's a lot calmer now
+that I've properly left my original idea behind.
+
+I'm honestly not quite sure what point I'm trying to make. This post is just an
+observation about how my unpredictable mind can work. Knowing myself, the
+sideprojects will probably never stop coming, but that's okay tbh. The
+important part is that most of them have a purpose, and don't just burn me out
+unnecessarily.
+
+Fin.

+title: "My V Workflow"
+date: 2022-04-27T22:13:04+02:00
+---
+
+While I'm trying to find time to work on
+[Vieter](https://git.rustybever.be/Chewing_Bever/vieter) (college is killing me
+right now), I figured I could describe my current workflow for developing
+Vieter, and in general, V!
+
+I've always been a rather minimal developer, preferring simplicity &
+lightweight programs over lots of smart IDE features. While this mentality
+doesn't work for all languages, V's simplicity allows me to write it without
+any smart features whatsoever!
+
+## Tools
+
+### Neovim
+
+We can't do any coding without a text editor of course. My weapon of choice is
+[Neovim](https://neovim.io/), the great Vim fork, ran inside my [st
+build](https://git.rustybever.be/Chewing_Bever/st). My main reason for choosing
+Neovim over Vim (besides the more active development) is the Lua, LSP &
+Treesitter support.
+
+I try to keep [my
+config](https://git.rustybever.be/Chewing_Bever/dotfiles/src/branch/master/.config/nvim)
+& list of plugins rather short by following the basic rule of only adding a
+plugin if I find it adds actual value to my setup. If the plugin or setting
+only adds a gimmick that I don't actively use, I probably won't add it.
+
+### VLS
+
+Thanks to the LSP support in Neovim I'm able to use
+[VLS](https://github.com/vlang/vls) (V Language Server). This gives me better
+autocomplete, useful suggestions & error messages, all without ever having to
+run the compiler myself!
+
+### Treesitter
+
+The VLS repo also comes with grammar definitions for treesitter. This allows me
+to import this into Neovim, providing me with better code highlighting using my
+treesitter-compatible theme.
+
+### Compiler mirror
+
+I don't like it when things break without my permission. While it's a very good
+thing that V is so actively developed, it does make programs rather sensitive
+to change & can cause stuff to break after a compiler update. This is why I
+maintain my own mirror of the compiler which I update regularly. Thanks to
+this, I have full control over how frequently my compiler updates, providing me
+with a level of stability on both my laptops & in my CI that can't be obtained
+when blindly following the master branch.
+
+### Packaging for Arch Linux
+
+My distro of choice for all my devices is EndeavourOS, an Arch-based distro
+(well, it's basically just a very good installer ;p). Thanks to this
+uniformity, it's very easy for me to package my compiler mirror, VLS & the
+treesitter grammar.
+
+For the compiler, I build packages inside my CI
+([PKGBUILD](https://git.rustybever.be/Chewing_Bever/v/src/branch/master/PKGBUILD))
+& publish this package to my personal Vieter instance. Then, using this
+compiler package, I periodically build & package VLS
+([PKGBUILD](https://git.rustybever.be/bur/vieter-vls/src/branch/main/PKGBUILD)).
+This is to make sure my VLS build is compatible with my compiler version. The
+PKGBUILD also shows how to compile the treesitter grammar separately from VLS.
+
+## Workflow
+
+Just like my config, my way of working is rather simple. I really like working
+in the terminal, so I usually write small Makefiles
+([example](https://git.rustybever.be/Chewing_Bever/vieter/src/branch/dev/Makefile))
+that do everything I need, e.g. compile, lint, test etc. Using the
+[toggleterm](https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim) plugin, I spawn
+terminals inside Neovim & use `make` to do everything else!
+
+## Outro
+
+I'm not too sure how to end this post. I hope it might help someone who's
+struggling to find a setup that works, or perhaps the links to my PKGBUILDs
+could come in handy for someone ;p

+
+When this post gets published, I'll have successfully released version 0.2.0 of
+[Vieter](https://git.rustybever.be/Chewing_Bever/vieter)! For the uninitiated,
+Vieter is currently my biggest passion project. It's an implementation of an
+Arch repository server, paired with a build system for automatically building
+packages from the AUR & other sources.
+
+This release brings a lot of goodies; the changelog & release binaries can be
+found
+[here](https://git.rustybever.be/Chewing_Bever/vieter/releases/tag/0.2.0). The
+biggest changes are that Vieter now supports multiple repositories with support
+for packages for multiple architectures! Besides that, there's some bug fixing,
+improvements to the CLI & an added setting for the build system that allows for
+building on other architectures. The [docs](https://rustybever.be/docs/vieter/)
+have also been updated to reflect this new update.
+
+Of course, development won't just stop now, I have too many ideas for that ;p
+[0.3.0](https://git.rustybever.be/Chewing_Bever/vieter/milestone/27) will bring
+with it some big improvements to the builder system, allowing for more
+flexibility & configuration.
+
+If you're interested in the project, join me over at
+[#vieter:rustybever.be](https://matrix.to/#/#vieter:rustybever.be) on Matrix!

+title: "My Workflow For This Site"
+date: 2022-04-05
+---
+
+This blog is about a week old now. I'm still figuring out what kind of content
+I'd like to post, or what kind of writing style I have. What I have figured out
+however, is my workflow.
+
+Thanks to my backend [powered by Axum](/switch-to-axum) I have pretty much full
+creative control over the internal workings of my site. This gave me the
+freedom to implement a system that I think works very well. Let's elaborate a
+bit.
+
+Both the blog & the documentation part of my website are currently being
+generated using Hugo, a static site generator. The lack of JavaScript makes the
+site very fast, which is always a big plus in my opinion. Thanks to my
+[self-hosted CI](https://woodpecker-ci.org/), I can automatically build &
+deploy the static files every time I update anything. My CI builds the static
+website, compresses it into a tarball, & uploads this to my backend. This
+process takes less than 10 seconds on a warm CI runner & it allows me to very
+quickly update my site, correct errors, or just upload a post like this one!
+
+My backend supports a simple system of serving multiple sites. In practice this
+means that I can specify which site I'm uploading using a query parameter in
+the POST request. This is how I'm able to serve my documentation on
+[/docs](/docs) while still having my blog available as the "default" site.
+
+The "source code" for my site(s) is stored in Git repositories using Markdown.
+Considering I use Git on a daily basis, this is perfect for me & I don't see it
+as an "extra step" anymore. For college I use Git as well, so using it in
+personal projects is a no-brainer.
+
+I have no idea how common this setup is, or if it'll work as well down the
+road, but for now, I find it works perfectly.
+
+Thanks for reading!
