bminusl··on A Way to Manage Dotfiles
Files are tracked by a bare git repository, e.g. `~/.dotfiles`.

The trick is to use the combination of --git-dir and --work-tree git options. An alias can be defined to simplify the process: `alias dotfiles='/usr/bin/git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'`.

`dotfiles` can be used as you would use `git`, e.g.:

- `dotfiles add <file>`

- `dotfiles commit [options]`

bminusl··on Using a Pager in the 21st Century

> What would be the benefit of a "pager-like device" over it?

- Adding items remotely

- Automatic item sorting

- Pre-made lists

bminusl··on Using a Pager in the 21st Century
I would like to use a pager-like device as a grocery shopping list. But a pager isn't quite what I'm looking for (I think).

Basically, I need a small device that can fit in a pocket, with a long battery life, a simple display, and a few buttons. Bonus points if it's cheap and easily hackable.

What are the options?

The lack of a license on small projects is often an oversight. And anyway, when the authors are notified, they choose the first license they see --- often MIT.
bminusl··on Use Streamdeck on Linux
I wonder if the Stream Deck is used in other areas besides streaming. I mean: can it become a must for other professions, e.g. software developers.
bminusl··on DIY Stream Deck for broke people
Not at all, it does not change how keys operate. It only listens to events, without modifying the original behaviour.
