| 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. |

| 23 | PURPOSE |
| 24 | |
| 25 | I am tired of writing one off scripts to do core management duties, |
| 26 | and want everything to be directly under my control. Projected duties: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | - Daemon management |
| 29 | - Terminal management |
| 30 | - Power management |
| 31 | - Window management |
| 32 | - Network management |
| 33 | |
| 34 | DAEMON MANAGEMENT |
| 35 | |
| 36 | I want something to monitor the daemons I want on my machines that |
| 37 | isn't total horse shit. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | - Emacs |
| 40 | - Spoon (dwm status bar) |
| 41 | - Mail (mu, fetchmail) |
| 42 | - Music (rn just cmus, should move to mpvd?) |
| 43 | - xst (not implemented, but a server for this will be implemented and |
| 44 | needs managed. |
| 45 | - Guix? Nix? |
| 46 | |
| 47 | TERMINAL MANAGEMENT |
| 48 | |
| 49 | Since xst wants to implement a terminal server, I figure it should be |
| 50 | managed by something like this. It might be fun to try and implement |
| 51 | it in Guile, and if this is already setup to work with Guile |
| 52 | extensions it seems a natural place. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | POWER MANAGEMENT |
| 55 | |
| 56 | Right now I am using powertop and one off scripts that run on boot to |
| 57 | make sure my power settings are correct. I would rather have something |
| 58 | that automatically does: |
| 59 | |
| 60 | - Custom profiles for A/C, Battery, Sleeping, etc. |
| 61 | - Automatic scripting on events |
| 62 | |
| 63 | WINDOW MANAGEMENT |
| 64 | |
| 65 | I use suckless.org's dwm, which is very small, fast, and easy to |
| 66 | use. But, I want to have somethings better integrated. |
| 67 | |
| 68 | - Event driven updates of the status bar |
| 69 | + volume |
| 70 | + network |
| 71 | + time |
| 72 | + music |
| 73 | - preset layouts/programs on different tabs, layouts. |
| 74 | - arbitrary scripts, guile will do |
| 75 | |
| 76 | NETWORK MANAGEMENT |
| 77 | |
| 78 | I use a laptop without wireless, so I USB tether my phone to fill that |
| 79 | gap. I want to automatically start tethering on my phone and run the |
| 80 | corresponding commands on my machine when i plug it in. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | - Android app? |
| 83 | - Detect plugin/plugout events |
| 84 | - Notify the status bar for status |
