OpenBSD on the Desktop (Part I)

Let's install OpenBSD on a Lenovo Thinkpad X270. I used this computer for my computer science studies. It has both Arch Linux and Windows 10 installed as dual boot. Now that I'm no longer required to run Windows, I can ditch the dual boot and install an operating system of my choice.

Declarative Shadow DOM

Shadow DOM is one of the three Web Components standards, rounded out by HTML templates and Custom Elements. Shadow DOM provides a way to scope CSS styles to a specific DOM subtree and isolate that subtree from the rest of the document. The <slot> element gives us a way to control where the children of a Custom Element should be inserted within its Shadow Tree. These features combined enable a system for building self-contained, reusable components that integrate seamlessly into existing applications just like a built-in HTML element.

Git Good

Git is a free and open source distributed Version Control System (VCS). Git can be hard, especially for people discovering it for the first time, but there are a lot of things that make this an exceptional VCS worth learning. This post is not meant to be a git tutorial, but rather a compilation of things and tips I find interesting. I also wanted to give a perspective of git independent of services like GitHub. Hopefully you can find something useful and “git better at it” 🙃.

If you’re looking to learn how to use git, take a look at the Pro Git book, it’s free and it is a great resource!
