Good news this time around! We're very close to getting our AAS, looking at September or so. It'll be onto a BAS in Cyber Security next. Next quarter is either going to be really interesting or really dull since we're down to the last handful of classes we need to take. Here's to hoping we don't burn out.
Been working on a personal project. We like Sway and Wayland a lot, but not everything we need is supported as of now. We've been using a second account for KDE on Xorg to get around that, but then our files aren't in easy reach. Yesterday, we started scripting what's basically a very lightweight display manager to switch between Xorg and Wayland on one account. It's working, though there are still one or two KDE programs we're trying to track down a way to kill them or stop them from running over Sway. They're all in /usr/lib and pkill isn't working. Can't quite figure out how to stop them without htop yet, will work it out eventually. For now, I'm just happy it works and annoyed that KDE seems to think it's the only desktop environment on this computer. /etc/xdg/autostart has been a serious hassle to deal with.
Classes are going well, not much to note there. Personal life is a little strained and stressful but nothing we can't handle, more realizing that most of our relationships with people aren't exactly healthy. We have a nasty tendency to play therapist for people we care about that we're working on. We can't keep doing that.
Life is... going, I guess? There's not too much to say otherwise. It's a daily grind right now and the interesting things would give away our exact location. Big Internet no-no. We're not risking that.
You're loved and enough as you are <3
