  • From my experience:

    1. I typed around 60 WPM before on a standard keyboard, now it’s barely 25. It may be because I don’t use standard keyboards at all anymore though.
    2. I learnt colemak with my first split keyboard since it seemed like if I was going to learn a new layout, then I should commit to it entirely. I think keeping AZERTY (since I’m french baguette haha) would have just made me even slower on standard keyboards because there wouldn’t be much difference with my normal workflow. Separating the two layouts entirely seems better to me, but you might also say keping the same layout to some extent is better.
    3. I went from a full-size keyboard to my monkeyboard, gradually removed keys (left row, top row, inner thumb keys) and now I’m at 34 keys with my triboard. But making the jump could also have worked seems it’s a complete change anyway.

    Yeah, most anticheats are actually just rootkits (running at kernel level with unlimited privileges). This is also a big security issue, some games like genshin impact have also been used to create botnets since there is only one privilege escalation from the game itself to the kernel.

    Whenever you use an anticheat, you just have to take the company’s word for what they are doing with that kernel-level access.

    Use librewolf instead of Firefox to get rid of the whole spyware part of it. Librewolf only has a single request when starting, to “check for updates”. But using Firefox is the second best thing you can do both for your privacy and to fight Google’s " Web Environment Integrity" crap.





  • what is the reason you shy away from ubuntu? Canonical. Snaps. Ubuntu is the first server OS I used, and while it was quite good I think I prefer using a base distrobox instead of a derivative. If I’m going to use Debian, I’ll use Debian. Not Debian with corporate stuff on top.

    As for SELinux: I’ve tried around a year ago. But as soon as I started doing stuff with users and tweaking docker permissions things went wrong and I just set it to permissive. Maybe I’ll try that again soon, because other parts of managing servers have become much easier over time as I learned. I agree that having a server without SELinux is quite dumb and not very professional.


  • You convinced me for immutable fedora. Maybe I’ll try it out sometime on our backup/testing server and maybe it will make its way to production if I’m happy with it.

    As for distrobox I’ll see.

    The main reason I used Gentoo is because of being able to reduce the attack surface with USE flags. But as it seems the tradeoffs with it are greater than the advantages (the mastodon issue I mentioned). If I don’t switch the server to immutable fedora, I’ll just use something like plain fedora or debian I think.
