Read the title and went: What? They want you to keep your network hardware ON, when unattended, to increase the undetected malware entry opportunities?

Turns out it as their own devices they wanted to push updates to.

I would really prefer to use my own device though and even better, configure it myself after learning how the ISP's network works. But convenience is what it is.

I'll probably get one, once enough of its vulnerabilities are discovered and post-mitigation benchmarks are released.
And once I have enough money.

plugin/extension

that seems like the way to go for this

I don't intend on pushing that one to the AUR. It's not worth it.
Maybe I'll make an AppImage at most.

I don't know any formal requirements for it being on AUR, but I just feel like this one does not fit there.

Gatekeeping the word "software" here?
Here's something not in the AUR. Tested on arch

If it's C or C++, I get the source from the project's GitHub / GitLab / Source Hosting thing and compile it for myself.
For programming languages that I don't read, I usually use the AUR.

Also,

  • GoG for games
  • Xilinx website, for that one time, I got the ISE
  • AppImage sometimes

I hear what I say and it feels unpleasant.
Also, I don't like adding senseless* words in my speech.

* Unless it's funny or sth.

I see. When using X11, I was using xinput to set MMB scrolling, but at that time, it had the problem of activating the MMB paste function, if I didn't click and hold properly.

Over time, my habits changed and I kinda stopped using it. But maybe I'll try again once it comes in Plasma 6.2 (it's actually in beta rn)

Room service now!! or kiss your data goodbye

Even better. If you are programming all networking H/W yourself, you can even ignore address conventions and reserved addresses.

vacuum cleaners

Why would someone bring their own vacuum cleaner in a hotel room?

I'm a keyboard guy.
Also, I intend on using the same nKRO keyboard for Elite Dangerous, X4, Nanotale and other games.
It's not very frequently, that I notice a ghosting problem, but over time, it has become bad enough for me to want one.

I actually bought one, recently. ANT Esports, Mechanical, 24 KRO with anti-ghosting. Took about an hour to realise, it was false advertising.
Even normal key combinations, which worked on a cheap Dell 100, didn't work on this.
So, waiting to get a good one.
