tell me the most ass over backward shit you do to keep your system chugging?
here’s mine:
sway struggles with my dual monitors, when my screen powers off and back on it causes sway to crash.
system service ‘switch-to-tty1.service’
[Unit]
Description=Switch to tty1 on resume
After=suspend.target
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/switch-to-tty1.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target
‘switch-to-tty1.service’ executes ‘/usr/local/bin/switch-to-tty1.sh’ and send user to tty1
#!/bin/bash
# Switch to tty1
chvt 1
.bashrc login from tty1 then kicks user to tty2 and logs out tty1.
if [[ "$(tty)" == "/dev/tty1" ]]; then
chvt 2
logout
fi
also tty2 is blocked from keyboard inputs (Alt+Ctrl+F2) so its a somewhat secure lock-screen which on sway lock-screen aren’t great.
Here’s a few of the micro-hacks that I’ve hacked up in the past.
A 2-line script to chroot into Debian when logging in as a certain user on FreeBSD.
#!/bin/sh clear doas chroot /linux /bin/loginI didn't have an IDE, so I just made a script called
idewhich runs Vim, and then compiles the code and makes it executable.#!/bin/sh #Works only for C vim $1.c && cc -O3 -Wall -Werror -Wno-unused-result $1.c -o $1 #MODE=`stat -f "%OLp" $1` if ("stat -f "%OLp" $1 | grep -e 6 -e 4 -e 2") then chmod +x $1 fiThis thing, called
demoronize, which does what it says in the comments#!/bin/sh #dos2unix -O -e -s $1 | sed 's/ / /g' | sed 's/“/"/g' | sed 's/”/"/g' cat $1 | sed 's/ / /g' | sed 's/“/"/g' | sed 's/”/"/g' #Convert DOS line endings to Unix ones and add a final newline if there isn't one, #replace sequence of 4 spaces with tab, #and replace "smart" quotes with normal onesI just keep those ones for historical value, but there’s one hack I use every day. My keyboard doesn’t have a function key (Fn), so I use the Super/Windows key instead.
I have
xdotool keyup Super_L keyup Super_R keyup F4 key XF86Sleepbound to a custom keyboard shortcut. It unpresses the keys used for the shortcut (Super + F4), then presses the sleep key.
