It is simple, but requires technique, because if you remove the keycaps with your fingers and not by levering ... you can damage the cover, as happened to me the first time I cleaned it. I straightened the key with a lighter and a screwdriver.
If you don't have a "keycap remover" either because your keyboard doesn't include one or you have lost the one that came with it —as happened to me— you can make one yourself with a paper clip, like the one I show in the picture.
When removing the keycaps, first you have to clean with a fine bristle brush to dust, after this step we have two options, disassemble the keyboard for deep cleaning —which I recommend once a year. In this case I only cleaned the keycaps and dusted the switches.
After dusting, I recommend dusting each switch by pressing the switch and applying either compressed air or blowing it with a hair dryer with cold air.
Having already dusted both the switches and the keyboard per se, it is time to clean each keycap with a cloth and the disinfectant product of your choice.... In my case I used wet wipes of a certain brand that sells cleaning and disinfectant products, the baby wipes are also valid... Even a flannel with water if you do not have or do not want to use any product.
I recommend to clean each keycap soon after placing it in its switch, why? if you put them in a bowl with water and soap the humidity will stay where the cross of the switch goes and that is complicated to dry... If you hit it with compressed air/hair dryer, there will still be humidity... You will have to leave it for hours in the open air or soak it in rice... It is more complicated... All disadvantages... More water is wasted, disinfectant product and even dish soap is added to the formula... Avoid doing it... It is not worth it.
If you have any questions, I will answer. Go ahead.
Using a paper clip or a "keycap remover" is a MUST, if you dare to remove those key caps with your fingers you will damage one or two keycaps, as I have shown on the pictures. Now my keyboard is clean; cat hair free. Are you going to clean your keyboard too, Bernd? Does not matter if it is mechanical, rubber or hybrid... it is important to dust it once per month.
How the fuck can I get rid of the blue light on my monitor in ArBernd2022-07-22 10:35:59 · 4yNo. 201390
I have spent like 45 minutes reading the Arch wiki without any luck & I am hella mad rn, my Bernd.
On Windows, I did it with ease throughout Intel panel... less than 5 o 6 clicks, but I could not find any option in that regard; I couldn't find any option about it in Arch/Plasma. Any Bernd with knowledge in this matter could help me?
Blue color in a monitor is the damn worst... It blows your mind and soul like a gorgeous hooker hooked in crack. Fuck colour blue in particular. My glasses have a gay ass anti-reflective blue filter and I have both monitors with that "Chaud" filter —C'est exact, enfoiré ; ce putain de français est ma deuxième langue et la langue des pirates crasseux est ma troisième. Gloire à la République de Sonora. I have been looking for an answer in Español, Français & English, but I haven't found shit.
I have blue fucking around, and I am not a fan of it, I fucking hate blue. That "nocture night" filter does not get rid of it at all, it just makes everything red but goddamn blue stills there.
Any suggestion besides committing suicide or going back to Windows 11?
In case you want to know why I do avoid blue at all cost and why you should too:

Howdy Bernds, Sonoran Russell Crowe here.
I was reading my monitor's manual and I found this DisplayPort's function called: "Display Data Channel (DDC) / Command Interface (CI)" which allows me to remove the fucking damn blue light from my monitor THROUGOUT HARDWARE, THAT IS RIGHT BERND, HARDWARE SOLUTION WHICH DOES NOT ENVOLVE GETTING A NEW PAIR OF GLASSES. It looks like both of my cheap ass DELL E2220H does support it, so I checked Dell's support website and they do have a software to use said function but for Windows, so I did search about it at Arch's wiki and we have a binary for that and also it is... Qt based, that is right, no GTK bullshit but Qt.
Thanks for nothing useles Bernds. I hope any mofo reading this with a DisplayPort monitor finds this useful... Because blue fucking light is the damn worst ever. Blue light makes you more stupid, blind and autistic.
ArchLinux has a package to use said function called: "ddcutil" and its website is: http://www.ddcutil.com/ which is avaiable on other distros, like Fedora or any other RPM based too —give it a try if you use DisplayPort, ukrabernd.
What it is that? you may ask: "DDC essentially allows the monitor to inform the computer about it’s supported display modes. But even more important, a display data channel allows the user to oversee and change monitor features such as the brightness, contrast and color palette directly from their computer" [Source: https://appuals.com/what-is-ddc-ci-and-how-to-use-it/]
I am a man of commitment: I will read, study and research until I reach a damn solution that fulfill my necesities. Man up, Bernd. Be like me and stop being a sassy weak ass dude. Man the fuck up dude, I do not even know you and the fact that you may be reading me right now makes me SICK.
Posting in an tech boards.
I'm somewhat of a noob compared to coders, but I know enough to have worked as a tech assistent at university. (Helping boomer professors using wifi and such.) I like using Linux and am fascinated with ricing. But I'm too low IQ to get it right. Often there are some problems, even if I try to follow a tutorial and then I can't fix the problem because all I find are thredas from 2009 that don't apply to my machine anymore and then new problems emerge... I'd like to get good at it, but I feel like it would be a full time job and I'm doing something else, not fiddling with computers as a full time job.

Now learn something from my workstation, my Bernd.
Dual monitor because I am a fucking writer, Arch Linux to keep it simple, stupid; wallpaper is a drawn made by my gf and it is going to be the cover for my next novel. tiny ass SFF with a 6 core processor so I do not have to worry about temps even though I live in the damn Sonoran Desert.
Bernd square the fuck up your notebook setup is lame and trash. Fight me.
Linux distros are now moving towards Wayland (built by Canonical) and major DE players planning on dropping support for X11, which can pretty much kill the graphical desktops on BSD and many reluctand distros
since Wayland relies pretty heavily on systemd (built by Red Hat), which no BSD distro and all the reluctant Linux distros doesn't have
does it mean, that once the support for X11 ends, we may expect, apart from forking, that some developers would move towards other OS projects, which exist outside of linux-systemd-wayland ecosystem
such as Haiku?

For me... Arch is way easier than Debian based distros... idk... I tried Linux back in 2008 when I was 13.. it was with Ubuntu 9.04 I do believe, then when they release 10.04 I switched to Fedora but did no tlike it so I hopped to Arch and never looked back... It is so simple and ez. At some point back in 2020 I tried Artix and I did like it but I had have problems due SoystemD then I switched to SolusOS which is great but the lack of binaries and the fact that I do not have time to compile and maintain .eopkg bins... made me switch back to Arch.
Arch is simple and even a dumb monkey can handle it, that is why, I bet, VALVe switched from Ubuntu to Arch for its 3rd SteamOS version.
Arch is so damn simple.
What's your favorite font for terminals/coding/UI/in general? Until a few minutes ago I used to use a mix of Terminus+(Adobe) Source Code Pro. I was thinking to harmonize my WM fonts (as in statusbar and window title text) and terminal font and chose Iosevka.
But I am still undecided if it was the right choice. I kind of like it in my terminal, even though it still feels kind of narrow compared to the one I used before. It's (Extrabold or just Bold version) in my window title bars is neat too, but I somehow can't see me getting used to Iosevka in my statusbar. It looks weird. What do?

I run the linux-libre kernel, but the linux kernel is in need of a trim and has resisted the gplv3.
There has been a project going over old linux kernel code and rewriting it in modern standards; it has already made significant speed improvements.
Hurd kernel would e very cool because of its microkernels and the idea of a 'gnu machine'
Apple A series processors beginning with the A7 contain a Secure Enclave coprocessor running an L4 operating system[14] based on the L4-embedded kernel developed at NICTA in 2006.[15] This implies that L4 is now shipping on all iOS devices, the total shipment of which is estimated at 310 million for the year 2015.[16]
Good morning anons, i do normally use Librefox browser but from it i cannot post in here in krautchan, apparently i debugged and it is something related to the LocalStorage of the browser (since Librefox is very aggressive with the tracking counter measures it might be blocking it), the issue is, i already "reverted" most of its anti-tracking configs yet still i get this same message (after restarting the browser and everything) anybody has any idea?

I mean, it is not wrong, is just normies (specially from millenial gen onwards) doesnt give a dime about privacy anymore, they werent raised to be strong and independant but rather to be weak slaves of goverment and/or corporations.
>JS is cancer and root of all problems also soy and writing it should be bannable offence
The only good JS is actually a subset mix of certain old JS parts and newers ES2017 syntaxes, the problem is that there is no consensus or standard about it, so you as a frontend web dev, could be one day working with the equivalent Tesla Roadster prototype and next day work in a toyota hilux 2004 and then next day you would working on a e-scooter.
>Doing anything besides infosec / sysadmin is cancer
it IS cancer, but anything else pays better with less stress and since "im not my job nor the company i work for" i dont give a fuck about what i do, because im honest with ymself that i only do stuff for the money.
>pulseaudio is probably cancer
Considering how many problems it used to give to any distro that shipped it + firefox, probably they are right on that one aswell.
>TS Python and Go are soy and cancer
True for TS, idk about the rest.
>using anything besides some Linux distros or BSD is cancer
Windows has reached a point where it is only usable with the heavily tweaked AME project, and 11 is DOA, Mac is annoying, underpowered and a closed garden even more so than Windows (i ahve to use a Macbook pro 2019 for work, so i know what i have to deal with daily)

Dont pay attention to them, those are basically parroted by talentless neet autist that want to feel "special" without realizing they are special but in other ways...
do you use picrelated?
if yes, have you tried to pick instance of searx from searx.space and use that?
if yes, why do you still prefer picrelated to searx?
