  • Also, a bit of off-topic, but still remotely relevant. Recently, I needed to make a colour scheme for the project, and we had some dark colour theme, I needed a white theme. I provided the colours to a GPT (I guess any can do well here) and asked what’s the colour scheme. Turned out that was pretty popular theme, with light modifications. Which had a light counterpart, which I used as-is.

    Saying that, I think it can help you to quickly explore the colour themes and find the one you seek.




  • I’ve been with Debian through 2000s and 2010s, and if you’re someone not knowing this foss vs proprietary thing, it’s quite difficult to explain why there’s no WiFi drivers and that you need to do some complex hoops to get this working. I had no WiFi on most laptops I interacted with, all the time.

    However, fair to say that just this week I had a Fedora installation for a friend’s MacBook from 2009, and we faced no WiFi thing either. Had to install Broadcom drivers separately. So, I myself understand why there’s no drivers included, but it’s not what’s easy to explain this to someone migrating off Windows. Otherwise Debian is good, but I use it only for single board computers.












  • And when it’s not, I go with a GPT that helps me make some tiny bash script within one or two simple prompts. It doesn’t cover all edge cases, but it solves the problem that I have, in the simplest possible way, which I enjoy a lot. I collected hundreds of tiny scripts so far. Most of them, I have no reuse for, so I don’t know, I think perhaps there’s some value in having a blog about them.
