Oh god, I had a guy on work practise a couple of weeks. He was about 15, and pressed capslock, another key, and then capslock again for capital letters.
I suddenly stormed into the room screaming, with a knife. I plucked out the capslock key, and ran out of the room, still screaming. Then I popped my head back in through the door in a much calmer fashion and told him he would get the key back after his practise time at our company.
After 25 years of using vim I have replaced a lot of otherwise useful reflexes and brain capacity with vim keybindings (using a swedish variant of Dvorak none the less). I am way too old for needing a cheat sheet stuck on the keyboard, and it would even then be wrong not using QWERTY.
Try a stream deck, each key is also a small monitor for customizable button actions.
I have been using key shortcut chaining in my WMs for freeing up more application hotkeys and also make them easier to remember. And it it still quite fast.
Starts them off by Ctrl+T, then for example: A (Audio) - [P, Pause; N; Next; V, Volume] R (Run) - [B, Browser; I, Inkscape; S, Spotify; Q, SQL editor]
And a lot more. The mnemonics helps me remember them, and Ctrl+T, R, B is quick enough to launch a browser.
Have been using the same Kinesis Advantage daily for 23 years now.
Not a single part has been replaced or repaired, only taken apart to be cleaned.
Or Escape 😅
That was me writing a colon which didn’t need to be there :-)
Tesla is planning strike breaking, that is bringing in other people to do the striking employees’ work.
While technically not illegal, that hasn’t happened on a large scale in Sweden since an agreement in 1938.

In Sweden we usually have a self-checkout alternative where you acquire a wireless scanner when walking in, scanning when picking from shelves and put it directly in shopping bags.
At checkout, you just pay and walk out. There is random controls, where an employee will check like 5 randomly chosen things from the bags. This is seldom though, like once every three/four months or something.
Makes for very quick checkout.
I’m using ed for small edits when I know exactly that only a certain line needs to be deleted, or a word changed.
Phones has been fast enough for me without upgrading to new hardware the last few years.
And with a Fairphone, it is actually feasible to repair and change battery once in a while :)
You are completely right about SwitchOS, and it is even more exciting that some models sells in two versions, with the only difference being called CSS* for SwitchOS, or CRS* for RouterOS. And the SwitchOS-enabled model is much cheaper, so customers ordering for themselves almost always pick the wrong one (that is, SwitchOS, which we can’t manage properly in our automations and other software solutions).
My collegues wouldn’t appreciate my shell config in the root account, especially the vi bindings ;)
As long as /bin/sh isn’t pointing to zsh, you haven’t messed anything up. A lot of public scripts wouldn’t expect to be run under zsh.
If you write your own scripts, I’d say to use zsh, but start it with /bin/zsh (or whatever resolves to zsh) to be explicit about the fact that it is designed for zsh and nothing else. Most scripts written aren’t going to be distributed to hundred of thousands of systems, but at most used in a handful of systems. No point in not enjoying some things zsh does better in scripts.
A lot of systems have other dependencies as well, and as long as a system which has scripts in it is specifing zsh along with other dependencies, I wouldn’t see the problem. zsh doesn’t take up much space or introduce other problems just by being installed.
As for the root shell, you can put Defaults env_keep += HOME in your sudo configuration. That will have sudo -s run your usual zsh with its usual configuration for interactive, daily use. Be aware of any config that shouldn’t be run as root.
sudo -i will still run the shell root is assigned in /etc/passwd, and everything run as root would function ar expected.
Can only agree on Mikrotik routers. All are using RouterOS, which works the same on all their devices, from routers to switches and access points.
They are relatively cheap for the capabilites you’re getting. They have their own scripting language, two APIs (their new one is REST-based).
GUI (winbox is recommended, and plays nice with wine. Wouldn’t recommend web interface, just cumbersome) and CLI exists.
They have a lot of builtin functionality, like DHCP server, DNS server with static configuration, and even file sharing. Some models are powerful enough to run Docker images on (yes, that’s builtin…).
We’re running a couple of hundred and don’t have much problem with them.
st from suckless all the way. Used it a couple of years now in conjunction with i3. I’m spawning a lot of terminals, doing a few commands and closing them often, so starting quick is a must.
Wrote a small patch that allows me to copy current directory from a terminal instance to primary selection with a keybinding. That allows me to quickly navigate to whatever directory that would be in another terminal or application.
I guess that means able to access services on the Internet over IPv6, not me being able to get a /64 and providing services myself to others.
Sort of ok for phones I guess, although not as great if someone doesn’t have access to fiber and have to use a mobile link in a residential environment.
Bahnhof actually just provides NAT:ed fiber connections as well as default, but will issue a public, unique IP if asked (at no additional cost).
I liked the look of Dashy, but it felt somewhat too heavy software for the simple dashboard I needed, and so I wrote the first version of Dashie.
It only uses Javascript and doesn’t need any server components except a webserver. Configuration is done by editing YAML files.
Themes are implemented, and multiple pages which can be used to make more complex navigation of multiple dashboards.
Check it out :)
I’m still using a Kinesis Contoured daily with PS/2 connection. Pretty impressed a new motherboard still came with a combo mouse/keyboard PS/2 port.
