I can handle the software part. I just want some ideas on how I can change the keys via a cheap and less-effort method. It is not a Peripheral keyboard, just the one integrated with my laptop....
I have also switched to Colemak and my advice is to just not do that. Just learn Colemak without looking at the keyboard, it’ll make you a better typist anyway and you can get comfortable with it within a few weeks. In particular you don’t want to move the little knobs on the index finger keys (F and J).
The way they talk about it makes it sound like they invented the written word, but that notwithstanding the fonts actually look really nice in my opinion.
So I installed Debian 12 with btrfs and apparently it only uses a single subvolume rootfs. I would like to have my /home in a separate subvolume (and possibly /var too I guess) and with a flat subvolume structure. I started figuring out on how to do it and I feel like I’m not entirely sure yet so I need a sanity check....
Yes, that seems correct to me. I would also say that the flat layout is preferable because it makes dealing with snapshots later easier. When snapshotting the rootfs subvolume you won’t have to keep track of where exactly the home subvolume is located and it is easier to boot into a different rootfs snapshot.
I still don’t see how having a flat subvolume layout would make that more problematic. You can still (even better in my opinion) choose what subvolumes to automatically snapshot, which to include in backups etc.
There was a post asking people their opinions about Edge and many people seemed to liked the idea of Edge and seemed to be ok having it on Linux (Blasphemy)...
Das ist wirklich ganz schön mies. Ich bin beim Ursprungspost schon ausgestiegen nachdem ich irgendwann verstanden habe, dass die unterschiedlichen Farben der Balken überhaupt keine Bedeutung haben.
Ja, für PKWs sind e-fuels wohl nicht besonders sinnvoll. Es hilft natürlich, um Spitzen in der Stromversorgung auszunutzen, aber da ist Wasserstoff der effizientere Weg.
Anders sieht es bei Flugzeugen aus, wo die Energiedichte (Energie pro Gewicht) eine wesentlich größere Rolle spielt. Dort können fossilfreie e-fuels gut mit gehabter Turbinentechnik verwendet werden. Von einem rein elektrischen Antrieb auf Passagierflugzeuggröße sind wir noch weit entfernt.
I am desperate to start doing these. Find a bunch of Non Trek fans and just give them the most off the wall, insane, ridiculous no context screenshot and have them try to explain.
I installed some software and I think afterwards I was navigating through CLI and noticed that some directories or some files in some directories had single quotation marks around the names. They don’t appear in the GUI. How do I get rid of them? Do I have to use a recursive command to delete the quotation marks for the entire...
My experience is you should try to always use find over ls when writing robust scripts, and consider ls as just an end user tool, not a scripting tool.
suppose I enable CONFIG_CMDLINE_BOOL=y and CONFIG_CMDLINE=“…”, but I also add a cmdline using efibootmgr via -u option, which one takes precedence and gets executed?...
In arch/x86/Kconfig of the kernel tree it says for CMDLINE:
<span style="color:#323232;"> Enter arguments here that should be compiled into the kernel
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> image and used at boot time. If the boot loader provides a
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> command line at boot time, it is appended to this string to
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> form the full kernel command line, when the system boots.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> However, you can use the CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERRIDE option to
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> change this behavior.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> In most cases, the command line (whether built-in or provided
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> by the boot loader) should specify the device for the root
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> file system.
</span>
and for CMDLINE_OVERRIDE:
<span style="color:#323232;"> Set this option to 'Y' to have the kernel ignore the boot loader
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> command line, and use ONLY the built-in command line.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> This is used to work around broken boot loaders. This should
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> be set to 'N' under normal conditions.
</span>
So both commandlines will probably be used. I don’t think an initramfs will normally interfere with the kernel commandline. In any case you can make sure you got what you wanted with cat /proc/cmdline.
It’s not really a big deal, but I am currently writing this using a linux kernel I compiled from source, which certainly feels like an accomplishment. The Arch Wiki has made the process fairly easy to follow. I just took the stock Arch Linux configuration without changes for now....
It took roughly 10-15 minutes on a Ryzen 5800X with 32GB RAM. I have compiled other programs before, but none nearly as large and notable as the kernel. I am in fact very close to getting a computer science degree, but that is in no way required to be able to do this. If you are able to follow the wiki-page I linked, you can do it too.

I used to use Sway and I found tiling to be useful only when using multiple terminals. Tmux allows me to have tiling functionalities for terminals while having a full desktop environment for all other applications.
Tiling at the window level makes much more sense and is technologically more sound than pushing windowing into the terminal output. Also see this comment by the creator of the kitty terminal emulator.

In essence, Red Hat requires their customers to choose between (a) their software freedom and rights, and (b) remaining a Red Hat customer.
A very good writeup, made me better understand the way Red Hat is creatively interpreting the GPL. I hope they won't just get away with this and go back to better cooperating with the FOSS community.
