I honestly only recently started writing notes and I did notice it does help me be more productive a little bit. That is only because I have terrible memory. That is why I need synced notes, if I am outside I need something for me to immediately write my thoughts down just in case I forget em.

As for your script with Git in background and a delay hoping everything is synced up… I understand why this is done, but there has to be a better way.

I agree but I couldn’t find one yet.

Trust me I have no reason to mention I Arch, it isnt a thing that is seen as hard to install anymore anyway. Plus I just used the archinstall script because I couldnt be bothered at the time :D. I just made this post because people enjoy talking about what they use and so do I, also I may discover new programs such as Kiwiks now. As for FZF, I do use it but only for this. alias e='fd -H | fzf --height 99% --preview-window right:50% --preview "bat {}" | xargs -r $EDITOR'

I use Helix + Markdown + Zettelkasten + Git + Codeberg for notes. I just wrote a script whenever I type ns to the terminal I go to the Notes directory and it creates a process that git pulls in the background. I also add a half a second delay to opening Helix so HOPEFULLY by the time I write to the notes they are updated. As for backups, I was using Timeshift but it just uses too much space so I just got rid of it. I am just being careful when deleting files and directories.

You can try this I kinda half-arsed it though. I personally could not see the issue in your code other than the fact that you are writing bad/ugly code. I don’t mean it in a rude way, you should read other people’s code and understand the conventions. Besides that, I think the issue is with the delays.

// This is a lot more understandable now
#define ENTRY_FINISH_PIN 8
#define ENTRY_NUMBER_PIN 9
#define ENTRY_REPORT_PIN 13

#define ENTRY_DELAY_MS 500
#define ENTRY_REPORT_SHOW_MS 500
#define ENTRY_REPORT_WAIT_MS 100

int GetNumber()
{
    // loop until ENTRY_FINISH_PIN is HIGH
    // if ENTRY_NUMBER_PIN is HIGH, add to the iterant and turn on the LED
    // after that wait a bit and turn off LED
    
    int iterant = 0;
    while (digitalRead(ENTRY_FINISH_PIN) != HIGH) {
        if (digitalRead(ENTRY_NUMBER_PIN == HIGH)) {
            iterant++;

            digitalWrite(ENTRY_REPORT_PIN, HIGH);
        }

        delay(ENTRY_DELAY_MS);
        digitalWrite(ENTRY_REPORT_PIN, LOW);
    }
    
    return iterant;
}

void setup()
{
    pinMode(ENTRY_FINISH_PIN, INPUT);
    pinMode(ENTRY_NUMBER_PIN, INPUT);
    pinMode(ENTRY_REPORT_PIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
    int sum = GetNumber() + GetNumber();

    for (int i = 0; i < sum; i++) {
        digitalWrite(ENTRY_REPORT_PIN, HIGH);
        delay(ENTRY_REPORT_SHOW_MS);
        digitalWrite(ENTRY_REPORT_PIN, LOW);
        delay(ENTRY_REPORT_WAIT_MS); // waiting a bit more makes sense imo
    }
}

I wish u luck with your Arduino adventure ^^

Genuine question, why would I need a terminal multiplexer when I am using a tiling window manager? I saw a lot of people using them in normal desktop environments which makes sense but why in a tiling window manager?

TBF it is not complicated but it does use the simplest form of pointer arithmetic and order of operation of (++var) or (*var++). Considering OP couldn’t write a basic version of this I did not want to put pressure on him. If you can understand it as a beginner good for you! You must remember that a lot of developers struggle to learn pointers in the first place for some reason. I blame AI.

EDIT: Also I did not say this is advanced, just not beginner friendly

It is not beginner friendly but it is optimized. It doesn’t allocate memory or whatever. I don’t expect you to understand all this but I did it for fun anyway.

int print_file(const char* buffer)
{
    // Validate the buffer
    if (!buffer || *buffer == '\0') return 1;

    // Prepare the first line prefix
    unsigned int line = 1;
    printf("%4d\t", line); // You could pre-format it if u want

    const char* cursor = buffer; // The pointer that points to the first char
    const char* linestart = cursor; // The start of the line
    char ch; // Character register

    while (true) {
        ch = *cursor++; // Read character THEN advance the cursor.

        // Check if the character is null or is newline or windows thing

        if (ch == '\0') {
            int linelength = cursor - linestart - 1; // Minus the null terminator
            printf("%.*s\n", linelength, linestart); // Print line using the length of string
            break;
        } else if (ch == '\n') {
            int linelength = cursor - linestart - 1; // Minus the newline
            printf("%.*s\n", linelength, linestart); // Print line using the length of string
            linestart = cursor;

            printf("%4d\t", ++line); // Print next line prefix
        } else if (ch == '\r') {
            continue; // Ignore the Windows thing
        }
    }
    
    return 0;
}
