Sure, you’re welcome

I’m pretty sure you meant ransom, not random. (My phone autocorrected that one too!)

Fair point! I just did many installs recently (a bit of a long story), and at some point just stopped even following the wiki. But if I can afford it, I simply clone my entire system, and tweak from there. Takes very little time, and I have a complete clone of my perfectly working system.

Also, theoretically, I don’t even need a backup of the system, if I have at least two laptops with mostly same system. I have, one at home with broken keyboard and no battery, which servers as my home computer connected to a display. And another one is for on the go.

That’s exactly my experience. Now I understand most things I do, and I smile at this ‘installing Arch is difficult.’ No, it’s not. I can install it without any help from the wiki, by memory. As I understand what I’m doing and why. It’s not the difficult part. The difficult part is to make it yours.

Do you have it detailed somewhere? A blog or something. Would be interesting to see what it looks like.

Why Arch based distro then? Why not, say, Fedora? Debian. Popos.

This account looks like it’s a Russian bot, looking from its history of comments. I banned and recommended it to others.

Their home is in Russia, lol. Obviously it is. Do you still want it? Well, you can get it, I’m rooting for you. I just hope you’ll destroy it to the grounds. Don’t be shy, you can take the city around it, and destroy it too.

Exactly this! Plus, they’re repeating the Nazis of 20th century. Plus, they did at least one genocide in Ukraine back then. Apart from that, don’t feed the obviously Russian troll.

LOL, here I am, too lazy to use any, but just the default CLI thing which autostarts Sway from bash, for like a decade.

LOL, Russians simply cannot accept the fact that’s Ukrainians who humiliate them. For them Google is some mysterious magical almighty company. I can believe Google gives no shit about Ukraine, as the rest of the US, especially the administration.

There are plenty very talented people in Ukraine who can develop things Google cannot. It’s just Russians who think people everywhere, especially Ukraine, are the same unwashed barbarians they are.

Grammar russian, gonna use that.

Took me a while to realise that’s not a spiderweb, but just some net.

LOL. ‘The war is real,’ they say. It’s like at least over 4 years, if not 12. And nobody even targeting their civilians and children hospitals.

My guess is that the automotive automatically takes a few grunts, and they target quite a lot of automobiles to cut off logistics.

What could go wrong? 🫡

I’ve got a Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed recently. About a month or two ago. Used price for a decent unit (looks almost new) was about €20. I liked it so much, I bought the second one for my workshop / office place. The price was about €12, but it looks more used. I haven’t noticed any real difference between the two.

The mouse is wireless and supports two computers, as it has both Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz dongle. Which is just ideal for our home, me and my wife, we use the same mouse, but just switching the toggle. She works from home, and the mouse is connected to her work-issued laptop via Bluetooth. And the dongle is inside my stationary at-home laptop. That’s a minor feature, but it quite useful. I’d get this mouse even with the dongle being lost, as it’s perfectly good with Bluetooth only. Especially given the price.

Perhaps that’s very individual, but I just love the form factor. It’s a gaming mouse, but it has zero LEDs. And it looks like it worse for gaming to my old wired A4-Tech X7 from the olden days. (Kept it in my workshop office for no real reason, just found it in the pile of old trash.) I don’t care it being worse, I don’t play games. The mouse has some weird mostly unnoticeable lag, like milliseconds, while playing Warcraft III on Linux. The wired very old mouse has no such lag. I have no idea what’s wrong, either the game being run through wine, or that I have QuadHD main display and not very powerful GPU (Radeon RX580), or that I have six displays totally. I casually play with the computer sometimes, as a mean to distract and wind off, so it’s not anything competitive now (was a semi pro gamer in the past). Apart from that there’s no lag in the system (I tested it with Windows, macOS, and Linux), so the mouse is just perfect for me. A friend has multiple generations of Logitech MX mice, and I like mine more for some reason.

There’s a DPI switch, and the max resolution is 16K which must be good. For me that means that it works reliably on any surface. I set the dpi once and forgot it’s there. It has two side buttons, which can be programmed. I assume they can. I did not try Razer Software recently (used it like ten years ago). I know there’s an open source daemon for handling Razer devices, but I did not bother installing it. I just map the buttons to what I need in my Linux DE, Sway. I assume you can program them in that Razer software, if you use Windows or macOS. If that’s what you mean by programming. Perhaps there are some limits to what you can assign to those buttons. In Linux, I guess you can map whatever you want. I just have a script that maps some keys to Warcraft backpack when I launch the game. It returns the keys to defaults when I close the game. This script works with any mouse, and I used it with that ancient A4-Tech one I mentioned. I upgraded it to this Razer one solely because I like the form more. Plus no wire is a bonus tiny little neat improvement. The price was too low for me not to.

I do not know whether this helps, but I do like this mouse of mine. To me it’s just a barebones mouse from a reputable manufacturer with no bullshit (like LEDs I rather dislike) and a pretty good sensor. I have a white glossy table at home, it works very well on it.

OMG, I cannot even imagine what an intense war it is!

Hypr looks like overkill. I use Sway for a similar thing.

Can someone explain how can Russia control that puppet state physically? It neighbours Ukraine, so at least at this point there’s no free passage. Except money, I guess they have some way to pour money onto them, to keep the puppet state alive. But the occupied Ukrainian territories, as much as, say, Belarus, are neighbouring Russia, so it’s somewhat trivial to bring forces, weapons, and other means there. What’s about this region? It’s really difficult to grasp. Perhaps I missed something important, some obvious historical event or something. I did not really read a lot on this, but I’m not sure I know where to begin with. I did read the Wikipedia article (not right now, some time ago), but I’m not sure I extracted much from it. I might give it some refresh, but would really appreciate someone giving it an ELI5-like (well, not really five, obviously) kind of reply.
