I love this philosophy, the simplicity behind it and the fact that +you know exactly what's on your system at any moment. +</p> + +<p> +As window managers, I used <a href="http://dwm.suckless.org/">dwm</a> for a while, and I am now using <a href="https://github.com/baskerville/bspwm">bspwm</a>. They are ultra-fast, very lightweight and do not bring +extra bloatware to my systems. I do not use a status bar as well, I like my applications to use the full screen space available. +</p> + +<p> +A big problem for me with this setup for me was that they do not come with some kind of warning or notification system, +like fancier desktop environments would, when my laptop battery is low. That also was before I started using <b>Emacs</b>, discovering +the battery level indicator in the modeline. Ultimatly the frustration was too important when the computer kept shutting down in +the middle of important work too many time. Then I decided to create lowbat to cure this issue. +</p> + +<p> +It started as a very short <a href="https://github.com/tklauser/dash">dash</a> <code>shell</code> script that was working fine but I wanted to experiment a little bit with this. It turned into +a <code>C++</code> program, which is still the case for the GNU/Linux version. Switching to FreeBSD, I exerimented again by turning it into +an <code>x64 assembly</code> program, following the <b>Intel</b> syntax. These days, I am rewriting it with the <b>AT&T</b> syntax. +</p> +</div> +</div> + +<div id="outline-container-orgafd577f" class="outline-2"> +<h2 id="orgafd577f"><span class="section-number-2">2</span> Links to lowbat</h2> +<div class="outline-text-2" id="text-2"> +<ul class="org-ul"> +<li>GNU/Linux: <a href="https://github.com/JozanLeClerc/lowbat">lowbat's GitHub GNU/Linux repository</a></li> +<li>BSD: <a href="https://github.com/JozanLeClerc/lowbat-bsd">lowbat's GitHub BSD repository</a></li> +</ul> +</div> +</div>  </div>  <?php jo_footer(); ?> |
