Where to find the bookmarks file for Brave browser
[Fri Apr 30 11:15:10 CDT 2021]

If you use the Brave browser, and wonder where to find the bookmarks file on Linux, you will find it at the following location:

~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/Bookmarks
So, if you need to re-create the file (or import your bookmarks from another browser again), simply rename that file to something else, and then follow the directions to import the bookmarks. {link to this entry}

Configuring bspwm to hide (or minimize) a window
[Thu Apr 15 14:39:07 CDT 2021]

If, like me, you use (and love) the bspwm tiling window manager, there is a small-ish feature that you may miss: the ability to hide (or minimize) windows. Granted you can simply move the window to another workspace "out of the way", so to speak. But, at least in my case, I pretty much use 9 of the 10 workspaces, and the last one I prefer to use it for temporary windows and similar things. So, when there is a window that I open and then never use the rest of the day (for example, the one I use to connect to the VPN for work), it is real estate that is truly wasted. So, what to do about it? Just hide/minimize it, of course. The problem is that the windw manager doesn't have that feature by default. However, LeCorbeau's Vault documents the solution. I gave it a try, and it works just fine. {link to this entry}
