I’m many things. Here’s perhaps a few worth knowing.

I’m:

  • an M.A. in #Philosophy
  • a teacher, mostly #teaching #academic #writing
  • a committed #FOSS user
  • a #Fediverse enthusiast

If you’re into Mastodon, you can also find me @UdeRecife@firefish.social.

  • Not being open source is the great… sin for me. Note taking is an investment in the future, and betting on a closed source platform is a big no no—for me, that is.

    I know the content is safe in Obsidian, since it’s just Markdown files. But the workflow? Not so much.

    And I know the developers behind Obsidian have their reasons to close source it. Nothing against that. But since that’s their way, it’s not my way.



  • Logseq user here too.

    However, for a quick, transitory note, I use Kate or, more recently, Xpad. Only then I transcribe the content to Logseq. Why?

    Because while Logseq is great as an outliner and for network thinking, it’s as graceful and agile as an elephant.

    The gist of what I’m saying is: for now, and for me (hardware might be playing a role here, but I don’t think so) Logseq is a good note database. For quick typing, I have to use something else.










  • For arch Linux, there’s Topgrade. All there, in just one command. All. There. Official repos, AUR, even firmware upgrades.

    Here’s my alias to update the whole system. It includes fetching the fastest mirrors, topgrade, and cleaning the update’s packages cache. Tailor it to your own needs.

    alias update='sudo fetchmirrors -q -s 5 -v -c PT && yes | topgrade -c -y --no-retry --disable gem --disable vim --disable emacs --disable gem --disable sdkman --disable rustup --disable cargo --disable remotes && sudo paccache -rk 0'
