7 | DISCLAIMER |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | This is not supposed to be something new or novel - this is supposed | |
| 10 | to give me complete control over the programs I run and the | |
| 11 | configuration of my machines. I don't CARE that one or more tools can | |
| 12 | provide all of the features I want. I WANT to do shit the way I want | |
| 13 | to do them. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | Also, I don't CARE if anything in this repository offends, including | |
| 16 | language and jokes. If you complain, don't expect sympathy or action | |
| 17 | on my part. | |

19 | PURPOSE |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | I am tired of writing one off scripts to do core management duties, | |
| 22 | and want everything to be directly under my control. Projected duties: | |
| 23 | ||
| 24 | - Daemon management | |
| 25 | - Terminal management | |
| 26 | - Power management | |
| 27 | - Window management | |
| 28 | - Network management | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | DAEMON MANAGEMENT | |
| 31 | ||
| 32 | I want something to monitor the daemons I want on my machines that | |
| 33 | isn't total horse shit. | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | - Emacs | |
| 36 | - Spoon (dwm status bar) | |
| 37 | - Mail (mu, fetchmail) | |
| 38 | - Music (rn just cmus, should move to mpvd?) | |
| 39 | - xst (not implemented, but a server for this will be implemented and | |
| 40 | needs managed. | |
| 41 | - Guix? Nix? | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | TERMINAL MANAGEMENT | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | Since xst wants to implement a terminal server, I figure it should be | |
| 46 | managed by something like this. It might be fun to try and implement | |
| 47 | it in Guile, and if this is already setup to work with Guile | |
| 48 | extensions it seems a natural place. | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | POWER MANAGEMENT | |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | Right now I am using powertop and one off scripts that run on boot to | |
| 53 | make sure my power settings are correct. I would rather have something | |
| 54 | that automatically does: | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | - Custom profiles for A/C, Battery, Sleeping, etc. | |
| 57 | - Automatic scripting on events | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | WINDOW MANAGEMENT | |
| 60 | ||
| 61 | I use suckless.org's dwm, which is very small, fast, and easy to | |
| 62 | use. But, I want to have somethings better integrated. | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | - Event driven updates of the status bar | |
| 65 | + volume | |
| 66 | + network | |
| 67 | + time | |
| 68 | + music | |
| 69 | - preset layouts/programs on different tabs, layouts. | |
| 70 | - arbitrary scripts, guile will do | |
| 71 | ||
| 72 | NETWORK MANAGEMENT | |
| 73 | ||
| 74 | I use a laptop without wireless, so I USB tether my phone to fill that | |
| 75 | gap. I want to automatically start tethering on my phone and run the | |
| 76 | corresponding commands on my machine when i plug it in. | |
| 77 | ||
| 78 | - Android app? | |
| 79 | - Detect plugin/plugout events | |
| 80 | - Notify the status bar for status |
