How to install NVIDIA drivers on Debian 11

Install a bunch of dependencies: apt install libxml2 libstdc++6 linux-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential libglu1-mesa-dev libx11-dev libxi-dev libxmu-dev freeglut3 freeglut3-dev
Reboot
Download the cuda installer https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/570.133.07/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-570.133.07.run
Make the installer executable: chmod +x {the-file}
Run the file as the root user: su - (the - is important so you can have access to $PATH!)
Accept the license. It will fail. It did some changes before it died though such as disable noveau. Just reboot and try again.

That's it!

How I got a local Debian mirror running on Arch Linux

I want to have a local Debian mirror so my systems can run entirely off of my local network instead of needing a constant internet connection.

To get this working, I found two main packages that should support this apt-mirror and aptly.

I found apt-mirror had poor configuration and I was having extreme difficulty getting the script to run from source, so instead I opted for aptly.

How to get Aptly running on Arch Linux:

Links that helped me install Debian on a Chromebook and Things I remember needing to do:

Boot in developer mode and access the Chrome terminal https://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/~ronny/acer-cb5-311.html https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/HP/Chromebook%2014 https://www.howtogeek.com/210817/how-to-enable-developer-mode-on-your-chromebook/
Remove the battery as it had write protection to the operating system or disk https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/docs/firmware/wp/
Allow executing scripts on the disk.

How to build the example server for the ESP32-CAM (AI-Thinker) for the Arduino IDE from nothing on Arch Linux

Unlike most operating systems, there is a special trouble (for noobs) with performing this on Arch due to the amount of compiling from source.

Steps

Get the Arduino IDE (v1 because it is the best)

We want to run the v1 Arudino environment/IDE because it is the most compatible with tutorials online. If you are reading this you are probably a noob and following said tutorials.

How to setup mount / auto-mount USB Hard Drive on Raspberry Pi

Automatic linting + prettifying staged files

Note that this only works for NextJS projects

(needed for good eslinting) Add a .eslintrc.json file to the root of your project with the following contents:

{
  "extends": "next/core-web-vitals"
}

(optional prettier config) Add a .prettierrc file to the root of your project with the following contents:

	const fs = require("fs");
	const path = require("path");

	// Directory to search for code files
	const directoryPath = "./"; // Change this to your target directory if needed

	// Files to exclude from processing
	const excludedFiles = ["collect-files-for-ai.js"];

	// Create a new file called code-summary.md
