openSUSE mini Summit 2018

openSUSE mini Summit 2018

I had a talk at the openSUSE mini Summit 2018 about my private cloud. I had build this for my personal testing. This cloud is enough for my use but it’s costy for running due to the electricity. So, I’m thinking to use more efficient machines like Raspberry Pi or something like that. I think NUC boxes are better but costy for the initial cost.. Happy Hacking!

X-Bows Keyboard

X-Bows Keyboard first impression (day 2)

I’ve got the X-Bows Mechanical Ergonomic Keyboard, and I’m still using and confusing about it now. Almost keys are good for me, but I’m struggle with some keys such as -, =, ), [], space, backslash, enter, backspace and B, Z, etc keys are really annoying for me right now. I’m using Emacs and Ctrl+B key a lot, but I often push the Enter key… :( Anyway, I need to practice to get used to it more. Happy Hacking!

X-Bows Keyboard

X-Bows Keyboard first impression

I just got the X-Bows Mechanical Ergonomic Keyboard, yeah, the shape is a bit weird and it’s a bit annoying to get use to, actually.. However, it realized me that my hands position was really bad. And, I think/believe doing new things are really good for my brain. And also, this keyboard is silent compare to normal mechanical keyboards. Touch feeling is also good to me, not so heavy, not so light. I feel this is really good for my health. But not sure, someone might say “your key typing is very noisy” someday. If I get like that thing, I need to re-think my keyboard strategy. ...

Gemini PDA

Restore Gemini PDA Firmware

Problem I had updated my Gemini PDA firmware which was showed in the setting. However, after the updating, my gemini never booted with the planets rotating screen. How to solve it First, I sent an email it to the support. They replied me very quickly and said “We are aware of the issue. We are investigating the issue with our firmware over the air (FOTA) ….” However, I don’t want to wait for that :-p. And my friend who has also a gemini pda told me Gemini Firmware and Flashing Guide pages. To do this, I had to install libaudio2 rpm package manually to use flash_tool.sh . ...

Retrospective 2018-05-10

Introduction This is a retrospective about this blog mainly. Positive My eyes are still on this blog. Negative I couldn’t have continued to post regularly.

Snapper

Snapper

I found that snapper of openSUSE is very useful! When I faced an update trouble, it worked very well without any trouble! Basically, we tend to forget to make a backup everyday every time by hand because it’s not necessary normally. However, the thing is happen all of a sudden! This is the first time to use that tool. It worked very well without any trouble. So, I think snapper is a very good feature. By default, openSUSE setups snapper on your root volume w/ btrfs. So you can use it like this, We can rollback where you want. To use snapper, it’s very easy. By default, snapper creates snapshots every zypper updates. So, if you want to rollback, you just need to select the option to rollback on the boot menu. Or you can specify a snapshot like this: ...

Keeping my contribution during a month

Keeping my contribution during a month

I have some feelings about keeping my contribution through a month on My GitHub profile. What’s the tricks? Have your own github repositories and contribute them. Dump out everything to the github repositories as possible. Forget the limitation. We can commit everything to github repositories even if your blog posts. What are the Positive/Negative/Action Items? Positive Almost green! Negtive Only white on Dec. 13 It was green for some days. But it was turned to white suddenly. This might be caused by this rule: https://help.github.com/articles/why-are-my-contributions-not-showing-up-on-my-profile/ Not only actual code but also issues and blog posts Action Keep it, anyway. Even if it’ll be a blog post or issue. Mixed contribution like issues, comments, push patches are better to avoid an accident. Try to write more code. Happy Hacking!
