Read The Arch Way, fall in.

Still Todo

I can’t believe how smoothly this went…

  • suspend - seems to work after installing gnome, pm-suspend works too… I have my eye on you. <.<
    • systemctl suspend works, but doesn’t wake properly.
  • power management
  • trackpad

Profiling an application in Mac OS X

Profiling an application in Mac OS X

Finding which process to profile

If your system is running slowly, perhaps a process is using too much CPU time and won't let other processes run smoothly. To find out which processes are taking up a lot of CPU time, you can use Apple's Activity Monitor.

The CPU pane shows how processes are affecting CPU (processor) activity:

Use autofs on Mac OS X to mount network shares automatically during access

Autofs on Mac OS X

With autofs you can easily mount network volumes upon first access to the folder where you want to mount the volume. Autofs is available for many OS and is preinstalled on Mac OS X so I show you how I mounted my iTunes library folder using this method.

Prepare autofs to use a separate configuration file

autofs needs to be configured so that it knows where to gets its configuration. Edit the file /etc/auto_master and add the last line:

#
# Automounter master map
#

+auto_master # Use directory service

Smart Caps Lock: Remap Caps Lock to Control AND Escape

Smart Caps Lock: Remap to Control AND Escape (Linux, Mac, Windows)

Caps Lock 變成智慧的 Control 以及 Escape

  • 單獨輕按一下就是 Escape
  • 若按下時同時按著其他鍵,就會是 Control

這應該是 Vim 和 Emacs 的最佳解了!(Emacs? Bash 的快捷鍵就是 Emacs 系列的)

  • Send Escape if you tap Caps Lock alone.

Using iOS 15 devices with Xcode 12.5 (instead of Xcode 13)
# The trick is to link the DeviceSupport folder from the beta to the stable version.
# sudo needed if you run the Mac App Store version. Always download the dmg instead... you'll thank me later :)
# Support iOS 15 devices (Xcode 13.0) with Xcode 12.5:
sudo ln -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport/15.0 /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/DeviceSupport
# Then restart Xcode and reconnect your devices. You will need to do that for every beta of future iOS versions
# (A similar approach works for older versions too, just change the version number after DeviceSupport)

Setting up RetroArch on a Raspberry Pi

Setting up RetroArch on a Raspberry Pi

I just put the finishing touches on my Raspberry Pi 3 emulation machine running RetroArch. I was not a huge fan of RetroPie due to the reliance on Emulation Station - more moving parts meant that there were more things that could potentially break. I just wanted something that would run raw RetroArch, no frills.

This tutorial is mostly recreated from memory and was most recently tested with a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian Stretch and RetroArch 1.7.7. If there is a mistake or a broken link, PLEASE message me and I will fix it.

Step 1: Install Raspbian

I used Raspbian Stretch Lite from this page. Write the image to your SD card using something like Win32 Disk Imager, or if you're using OSX/Linux follow a tutorial on how to write the image using dd.
