# dot

Yet another dotfiles repo! Files are organized by hostname and maintained by [update.sh](./update.sh)

A _relatively_ recent Linux desktop is assumed throughout; PRs are always welcome!
_I use Fedora btw :)_

## Notable entries

### i3/Sway auto-start script

_Script:_ [~/.config/sway/scripts/startup.py](./outerheaven.init3.home/.config/sway/scripts/startup.py)  
_Config:_ [~/.config/autostart-i3ipc.yml](./outerheaven.init3.home/.config/autostart-i3ipc.yml)

Time/date aware _(conditional)_ autostart manager for Sway/i3 window managers.

Should run on-login:

```bash
~ $ cat ~/.config/sway/config
# Config for sway
#
# See `man 5 sway` for a complete reference.
# [...]
# run script which handles conditional/timely autostarts. uses dict w/ this structure:
# {'autostarts': { 'pre': [], 'weekend': [], 'common': [], 'work': []}}
exec 'python3 ~/.config/sway/scripts/startup.py'
```

Config example with in-line comments:

```yaml
---
autostarts:
pre: []     # *always* run, before/blocking others. ie: backup
weekend: [] # blocking Sat/Sun. after 'pre'/before 'common'. ie: backup tier 2
common: []  # things started every day, after 'pre' - non-blocking
work: []    # does not execute on weekends; only if within working day/hours
```

Touch `~/.vacation` to skip `work` autostarts; `rm` when work may continue :)

Working days are assumed Monday through Friday. Hours are between 8 AM and 4 PM.
These parameters may be changed in the `WorkTime` class.

### homedir backup script

_Script:_ [~/.local/bin/backup_home](./outerheaven.init3.home/.local/bin/backup_home)  
_Config:_ `~/.restic_excludes`

This will back up `$HOME`_(minus exclusions, of course!)_. Part of
[the auto-starts](#i3sway-auto-start-script).

The meaningful work is given away -- coordinating _[on-login]_:

* `restic`: performs the backup
* `pass`: stores the passphrase given to `restic`; confirmation on hardware token

The exclusions are highly personalized, and as such, _not_ included. Wants _shell patterns_ split by lines.
