How to install Barrier?
Can't recall if I tried barrier on the PP or PPPro but just in case, if you truly get stuck (and because I don't think barrier works so well in CLI) you might want to check https://github.com/Blub/netevent

HOWTO: connecting a RPi based arcade joystick via WiFi
I have a Deck since Monday and start to tinker with it. I also have Picade Console from Pimonori which is basically a RaspberryPi Hat with nice buttons, a joystick and a cool case. The problem is that it's not a controller proper but rather a full-on console, namely you plug it to your TV and play. To make it work as-is with the SteamDeck I had to use a little trick : redirecting input events, e.g keypress, from one device to the other. There are multiple solutions for that e.g uinput-mapper https://github.com/MerlijnWajer/uinput-mapper , potentially barrier, a software KVM https://github.com/debauchee/barrier but I decide to stick to a minimalist solution, netevent https://github.com/Blub/netevent that just brings input events from one device to another over e.g ssh.

Using a Picade as wireless controller
build https://github.com/Blub/netevent on the Deck (connect via ssh, allow for system write, update packages, install build essentials and libc librairies, build),

Searching packages via filename, e.g getopt.h would return glibc
Hi, I'm trying to build https://github.com/Blub/netevent and missing headers, e.g getopt.h that I found thanks to Debian filename search https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents but somehow I fail to find the equivalent for Arch or AUR. Is it possible and if so how?
-
getopt.h missing while trying to build netevent on SteamOS (Arch based)
Hi, I'm trying to build https://github.com/Blub/netevent after successfully doing so on Ubuntu and Raspbian devices, thus insuring the idea (connecting a PiCade to another computer as arcade input) works.

Hacking my ReMarkable tablet into a live presentation tool
Awesome project. Lovely to see something like this come together so quickly!
The core architecture is to ssh in to the machine, and forward Linux /dev/input* events to a python app that re-emits websocket events.
This makes me think a little bit of netevent[1], which is a small utility for forwarding/cloning input events, usually used with ssh to forward between machines. It would allow for the remarkable to act as just another generic input for a presentation laptop, for example. One might be able to then use Gromit-MPX[2] or DrawOnYourScreen to turn that forwarded input into on-screen drawing.

We released a new powerful efficiency tool called RunFlow, which is similar to PowerToys and Alfred, welcome to try it
RunFlow is a cross-platform productivity tool which can launch apps and search files and more, that similar to Wox and PowerToys on Windows, and also similar like Alfred and Raycast on macOS. But we have differences with these tools, and we have our own unique new features. Right now, at the below, we will introduce you what features of RunFlow have been implemented in more details. It's an amazing journey, let's start.

GTK: On fractional scales, fonts and hinting
I'm curious - when you were doing research into the mechanics of hinting options, did you stumble onto any relevant discussion around allowing custom pixel geometries to be defined, to enable hinting on modern OLED / WRBG displays? There's a good thread on the topic here[0], with some people referring to it as 'ClearType 2' on the MS side [1]. On the oss side I know FreeType theoretically supports this[2], but I can't quite figure out how relevant the FreeType backend is to this most recent work.
This is great work btw.

Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?
Thank you all for the informative advices. Here is the summary for those who are in the same situation:
1. Run Windows on Linux by using VM
for the applications you can’t run on Linux
Risks:
* some softwares may attempt to detect VMs and refuse running
* Anything what needs to touch hardware may not work.
2. separate "data" partition on D:
3. back up %APPDATA% and %USERPROFILE%
4. learn chocolatey, scoop or winget
Winget should be good enough
5. Don’t worry about C:\Program Files
6. (Mixed) Use/Don’t use Ansible (or saltstack/salt)
Use:
* Allows you to setup a new machine quickly and consistently when one breaks, get stolen, or lost in an inconvenient time.
* You can get a clean and consistent development environment so that you do not depend on anything accidentally installed on the machine.
* If you define specialised roles, create test playbooks for those individual roles, use these roles to compose more complex playbooks, and offload logic to custom ansible modules that are written in python, you won't wrestle with heavy logic in the template or playbook layer.
* installing software and pulling some configs and scripts down is fine
Don’t use:
* You will spend your days fighting a mix of yaml and Jinja.
* You will end up looking at Python errors because there are no static types.
* errors are cryptic.
7. Use WSL2
You need 32gb of ram, but ram is cheap so choose a good thinkpad
8. Debloat with Recommended Tweaks
Run
irm christitus.com/win | iex
from Administrator Terminal (Powershell)
The link leads to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil/mai...
VirusTotal
https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/709834b0e003b6bb546cf16e...
9. Get [PowerToys](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys)
10. Use Devbox for containered environment
https://www.jetpack.io/devbox
11. Dual-Booting Linux and Windows
If you use physically separated drives, you don’t need partitioning.
12. Dedicated Windows machine for class
Yes it sure would be the cleanest solution but I prefer one device for everything
13. keep a git repository with all dot files in it
Many people suggested me to use virtualization, otherwise just let Windows be Windows.
Also, backing up seems to be a good practice.
I’m planning to write a blog about this, if it worked.
Again, thank you all for the helps!

If you’re on Windows, download PowerToys. It’s an app published by Microsoft officially. Then enable Quick Accent in the settings of PowerToys. Now all you have to do is hold down the key you want accented until the switch shows up, then add an accent with your arrow keys.
