I found myself in the unfortunate situation to discover a CalDav uri using different providers. In this short post I guide you through a generic example flow which should work for most calendar providers.

Similar to the last post on building a C project, today I quickly cover how to build a Haskell project.

You might ask why? I got asked about that stuff by my friendly office colleague Samuel. By the way, without him I would have never installed/used Nixos in the first place. Good fella, go checkout his blog.

SRF Teletext Parsing with txtv

I spent some time with a neat little CLI application: txtv

This app written in Python let's you easily read latest Swedish Teletext news. It's “a client for reading swedish text tv in the terminal”.

I slightly modified the code so it reads from Swiss 🇨🇭 Teletext source (SRF):

How-To Test Nixpkg Perl Module Additions

I recently installed NixOS on my laptop.

So far, I'm very happy with how things work and can do most of my tasks as on any other Linux distribution. Some tasks, however, require some more reading and thinking.

Today I wanted to jot down a quick how-to on testing an addition to the Perl packages in the Nix Packages collection (Nixpkgs).
