Play with and configure Kitty as another option for my terminal
Work on ZNC

While I got the basics working the other day, I finished the rest of the work and got Kitty working just the way I want it. I can now launch kitty via ulauncher or gnome-terminal and get a Kitty layout for writing just like I used to¹, with Tmux and Zellij. And now I can copy and paste text as well! Blessed relief!
Now on to getting my ZNC up and running!
2026-02-03 11:34: Note to self: I am calling ZNC images in two places in my deployment. Make sure their versions always stay in sync via flux updations
2026-02-03 12:12: Ok, figured out the reason for my znc misery. ZNC can accept both irc as well as http traffic on the same port. And if I want traefik to be able to route both sorts of traffic to znc then I cannot terminate tls at traefik. Which I really, really want. Because I don’t want the headache of keeping track of which applications can maintain their own certs and which don’t. Simplest thing (which ZNC supports) is to add another listener port to ZNC. IRC traffic goes to one port, web traffic to another and hopefully all will be well. That’s the idea, in theory at least. Now to go try it out.
2026-02-03 12:22: Ok. Change znc config to accept web connections on another port and redeployed the pod. Now to get web traffic working first
2026-02-03 12:29: It works! My ZNC website is up! Now to go figure out how to route IRC traffic.
2026-02-03 12:47: Lunch!

2026-02-03 13:32: Ok sorta kinda wrote the ingressRouteTCP rule. Now to deploy and test
2026-02-03 14:38: It works! ZNC is alive! Will know tomorrow if my history buffers hold :)
2026-02-03 14:49: Tried a reboot. Still lost history. Need to configure ZNC probably. Checking that now.
2026-02-03 15:30: Tea time
2026-02-03 16:00: Walk

Trying to quickly see if there’s any Lightroom alternative out there in Linux land, that is not Darktable.
2026-02-03 18:00: Found one. It’s Darktable! But I found that it now has a Sigmoid workflow, that gives me a very Lightroom-esque workflow. Or maybe it’s just that the interface has changed to where I find it familiar. Anyhoo, this makes me so happy! Finally, I can now invest the time in a new tool :)
Now to some NMC work.
2026-02-03 18:48: Done. Now to get ZNC to update itself. 19:15: Done!
2026-02-03 19:25: Schedule, shutdown complete!

3 paned layout.
Large pane on the right. For me. For writing or commands or whatever.
Top left pane to run Hugo Liveserver; bottom left pane to run a script that watches today’s daily note and keeps committing to it to the code repo to auto publish ↩︎

Got tired of being unable to cut and paste out of Tmux and Zellij. Realised what I want is a terminal that lets me do that, not necessarily a muxer. Something that lets me cut and paste text and have layout my little windows in the way I want. The Kitty docs suggest this is possible. So I’m giving it a spin.
2026-01-29 10:41: Do some NMC work first.
2026-01-29 10:41: Some tea first!
2026-01-29 11:05: Ok, now NMC work.
2026-01-29 11:26: Alright, now to go play with Kitty.
2026-01-29 12:16: Found a theme I liked. (Github Dark. The default theme is called default)
2026-01-29 15:45: Still struggling. Break.

2026-01-29 18:45

Back at work. Found an exact sample of what I wanted done in the Kitty docs.
2026-01-29 19:30: Adapted it. Applied it. It works. Done!
Calling it a night

First day with new time table and I’m already behind. Will need to track how much time I spend on morning tasks and be more realistic

Now to start on my IRC+ZNC travails
2026-01-14 11:14: Think I am going to split them into two separate deployments. They are not going to talk to each other internally anyway. Tackling ~~ZNC~~ theLounge first.
2026-01-14 12:08: theLounge is up. Moving on to getting ZNC up and running.
2026-01-14 12:42: Creating deployments isn’t the hard part. Creating deployments that are gitops ready is.

Been thinking hard about how to achieve two way sync between a container and my home machine. Syncthing still seems to be the best bet

2026-01-13 22:00: Got syncthing to work and got znc to look at the folder. But it does not seem to login. Will continue tomorrow
