Yeah. I was shocked when I saw:

Using Mullvad VPN (…)

while connected to the Mozilla VPN.

Wrong answer, rewatch the ad and try again.

“Absolute Linux” was a Linux distribution. Clicky bait title.

Immutable, doesn’t mean extreme secure. It’s a false sense of security.
It could be more secure.
But during a runtime, it is possible to overwrite operational memory, mask some syscalls, etc.

That’s my 3 cents.

Not sure what is the “Xiaomi Community app”.
I unlocked mine Xiaomi using “Mi Unlock” app for Windows.

It worked at the first try, but I needed to download app with newer version than offered on official page.

Next step, installing new ROM via sideload.
I needed to flash low lever firmware with newer version.

Next, a sideload, without problems.

I see nothing wrong here. So issue must be somewhere else.

Sure!

I/O scheduler issue?

Connect that USB stick, and run command:

grep '' /sys/block/*/queue/scheduler

show output.

Replace ss with ß.

Mainly telemetry, like temperature inside, outside.
Script to read a data and push it into a RRD, later PostreSQL.
ligthttpd to serve static content, later PHP.

Once it served as a bridge, between LAN and LTE USB modem.

Maybe not shit, but exotic at that time, year 2012.
The first Raspberry Pi, model B 512 MB RAM, with an external 40 GB 3.5" HDD connected to USB 2.0.

It was running ARM Arch BTW.

Next, cheap, second hand mini desktop Asus Eee Box.
32 bit Intel Atom like N270, max. 1 GB RAM DDR2 I think.
Real metal under the plastic shell.
Could even run without active cooling (I broke a fan connector).

Price, too good, to be true.

Similar device the PiKVM, starting at 139.09 USD e.g. PiKVM v3.3 HAT.
Plus cost of Raspberry PI 4.

Yeah, a bit suspicious.

zee, zem, zeir.

Replacing doesn’t mean removing in this case.
It still needed for the system scripts, etc.

More like fish is my daily driver, bash if needed (I can write a script in bash faster then in fish).

Stop.

Everyone has their own preferences.
No judging here.

• bash -> fish
• default text editor (like Kate) -> geany
• firefox -> firefox-esr
• chromium -> ungoogled-chromium
• nano -> micro
• top -> htop, btop
• default PDF reader -> Okular

Waiting for what? 🤔

Technically it’s a universal method (not limited to KDE): Input Remapper.
