❤️ Thank you to the Wiki maintainers! ❤️

in general, and maintainers of documentation most of the time get way too little recognition for their contributions to .

ArchWiki is one of the pearls of the internet! That's why I dedicated my this year's post to the maintainers!

Average Arch Linux user. 🤭

In the first slide, a lady says to a man, "Tie me up and do whatever you want." In the second slide, the lady is seen tied up on a bed, with the man sitting at a desk using Arch Linux.

SOLVED 🤤 ✅

Nierówna walka zakończona!

Poniżej wklejam skrypt, który w końcu wyłączył zasilanie ekranu w moim ASUS Zenbook Pro Duo (UX8402) na CachyOS (Arch). Jupi! Zmiana echo 4, na echo 0 włącza ekran.

Teraz jeszcze tylko dwa klawisze rozpoznawane jako ten sam "UNKNOWN" i sterowanie ekranem mam ogarnięte. Phii

WYŁĄCZENIE EKRANU - echo 4 | sudo tee /sys/devices/platform/asus-nb-wmi/backlight/asus_screenpad/bl_power

Time for a new post after the move!

I'm Sar, a 50yr old nerdy guy from Northern Ireland. I love IT, and am into tech and all things computing.

My hobbies include playing , reading about World Of and thinking about

Seriously though, my other hobbies also include:

(alternating between & )
on , & (mainly on PC though, see above!)
such as , , , & etc
Also a screenshot junkie

I'm also awaiting the results of my diagnosis as I write this, and am also fairly confident I have as well, giving me the super-deluxe wombo-combo :joy:

I decided to make the jump to this self-hosted instance at the end of 2025 after many happy years on masto.ai/@sar, and have no regrets.

Yet.
