It’s been years I have postponed holding a blog, because of lazyness, missing time and clearly motivation to write things that probably nobody will have an eye on.

But I am in a process for change for my computer experience and internet social visibility. As the blog name implies, I need to get back to roots, simplier things, less exposure. That concerns how I host emails and code projects as well as how my Linux system runs, how I manage my preferences and configuration, which tools I use, to avoid bloated stuff in general, keep CPU and memory for task specific needs and not in idle system and desktop usage.

And I don’t know why, I have this deep idea that the first step is to expose those ideas, progressions and evolutions with a blog. Mostly for myself, but I have in mind it could help somebody that could read about it, so there I am.

KISS for GNU/Linux

On the setup side, I could go deep and rough in the suckless spirit, but I am not ready for that yet, even if somehow I partly recognize myself in it. Yet, I am persuaded that I can find a compromise between my actual setup (which is already pretty lean) and the extremism of suckless tools.

On this, I run on Artix with the dinit init and daemons supervision. I may choose another init system, some seem really nice, but I’ll keep that for later.
