Mastodon: @vi@vigrey.com Twitch: ViGreyTech Git: vigrey.com/git/ Project: Fulla, a secrets vault program for storing TOTP secrets and passwords Plan: 2023-06-14 - [52] 3:26 My resume is now written in groff (with the ms macros) instead of LaTeX. This change allowed me to uninstall TeX Live. The main issues I have had with TeX Live are that there were constant updates that seemed to happen every few days and the updates would be between 1 and 3 GB in size each time an update would occur. Groff is only about 4 MB in size and tends to be installed by default on a lot of Unix-like operating systems. This means I should be able to update and build my resume whether I'm running a Linux distro, OpenBSD, Plan9, HaikuOS, OpenIndiana, etc... The only issue I have with groff is that it's hard to find the general documentation I need and a search on DuckDuckGo, Bing, and Google tends to lead me very far from what I'm actually looking for. A benefit though is a lot of man pages are written with a similar syntax, so I am more equipped to write man pages by switching from LaTeX to groff. The source code for my resume can be found at https://vigrey.com/git/resume Unrelated, but I started using NetSurf as my default web browser and that browser makes me very happy. I learned about it when watching a video about Plan9. NetSurf reminds me a bit of when I used Netscape Navigator in school. It has support for HTML 4.01 and CSS2, but not much support for HTML 5, CSS3, and essentially no support for Javascript. I love NetSuft mostly because of, rather than in spite of, those details.
