  • Check ArchLinux.org for news before you kick off an update. It’s got an RSS feed and a mailing list if that helps.

    Read the Wiki, and turn to it first for any issues you have.

    This one may be a special “me” problem, but if you’re manually interacting with wpa_supplicant, stop and go read the Networking page in the Wiki again.

    Learn how to use journalctl (at least superficially) before something goes wrong.

    Generally you want to restart after an update to the kernel or graphics drivers or things start degrading strangely.


  • Previously in bash & sed, in case anyone else was curious.

    The total functional component was previously 25 lines long. Personally I would consider this different enough to be an entirely different project, but I guess this is a good way for the developer to avoid being asked to maintain something they’re not interested in.

  • What is “it”? Webmentions? Webmentions can be sent from anywhere, not just places you’re actively monitoring. They can be used for example to create a comments section on your blog which amalgamates comments from various syndication points.

    That is, you post to your blog, you post a link to your blog post to twitter/Facebook/lemmy etc, and comments or replies from any of those can show up on your blog itself if you so choose.
