Weekly Grind Log 28/26
Weekly Grind Log 28/26 stays close to the infrastructure layer: a GPU-accelerated terminal, a symlink manager for dotfiles, and Microsoft's ergonomic keyboards back from the dead under the Incase label. Two monospace fonts worth a look if you're staring at a terminal all day, plus a stop through Agent 47's DLC catalog.
Terminals & hardware
- kitty: A GPU-accelerated terminal emulator that offloads rendering to the graphics card for lower latency and smoother scrolling. Supports graphics, tabs, and tiling.
- Ghostty Configuration Guide: Setup docs for Ghostty, a fast terminal emulator.
- Ghostty Option Reference: The full list of config variables, flags, and keybindings for Ghostty.
- Incase Designed by Microsoft Keyboard Collection: Microsoft's ergonomic keyboard designs, including the Sculpt and Ergonomic models, are back, now made and sold under the Incase brand.
Dotfiles & system organization
- GNU Stow: A symlink manager for deploying dotfiles. Organize config files into package-specific folders, then link them into your home directory.
- Dotfiles Utilities: A directory of framework managers, bootstrap scripts, and tools for syncing, backing up, and installing config profiles across machines.
- Dotfiles Inspiration Hub: Community-submitted repos and configs, mostly customized terminal setups and workflows.
- mathiasbynens/dotfiles: A widely used dotfiles repo with sensible defaults, shell tweaks, and optimizations for macOS.
- xero/dotfiles: A heavily "riced" Linux config repo with an extensive Neovim setup, custom window managers, and terminal styling, the kind of thing you'd see on r/unixporn.
Typography & code fonts
- Monaspace Superfamily by GitHub Next: Five typefaces built for code editors. Introduces "texture healing," which adjusts character widths to fix uneven spacing in monospace fonts.
- Iosevka Typeface: A customizable, narrow open-source monospace font family built from code. Compact enough to fit more into dense terminal grids and side-by-side splits.
Gaming & media
- Hitman Wiki: Downloadable Content: A community-run archive of every bonus mission, cosmetic pack, weapon expansion, and campaign released for the Hitman franchise.
