Any UK-Layout keycaps identical to 8BitDo's C64 Keycaps?
When I first brought it year ago as it the first Mechanical keyboard I own, I only just notice it's a US Layout when I tried to use it which I assume because I got it on Amazon UK, it would be in UK Layout. ~~Note to myself, do few minutes of research before buying it online again.~~
I saw on 8BitDo's subreddit of someone contracting customer service if they sell UK-layout keycaps which they said no. I did tried look one identical to it but it both different colour and also in US-Layout.
Before tells me "Just use US Layout", I tried it and still feels unnatural to me. I really don't want my keyboard picking up some dust but if there's isn't any keycap that both looks identical and in UK, I'm considering maybe getting Keychron Keyboard at some point.

A tangled web of deals stokes AI bubble fears in Silicon Valley
A tangled web of deals stokes AI bubble fears in Silicon Valley

It's a bubble all right. Except it bursting will be the result as expected. What we should do is try to first deflate it carefully, and then try to prevent it from just going boom.
Bubbles are not some unexpected crisis, they are basically a system created by people with a lot of power to suck the power others possess to themselves, to have even more power.
One can even call the British empire becoming less official and other colonial ventures drying up as a sequence of bubbles. Notably the European monarchs were not at a loss from it all.
The dotcom bubble sucked this way a lot of money in unclear directions (hedge funds are a thing, to launder such events), then somehow Facebook and Google and Amazon happen, all not very sophisticated things, but with a lot of convenient financing and publicity.
By the way, it's interesting that early concepts of NLS and Xanadu as things similar to the Web all didn't have the ditches requiring a bridge with tolls, speaking metaphorically, that the Web requires, and these big companies occurred as bridges over these ditches exactly. Like - when you have two-sided links, you don't need them. Not only many small places link to one popular place, but also the one popular place links to many small places. This, of course, also requires the system to be message-oriented, not connection-oriented. Otherwise why wouldn't the big place censor out reverse links. Like Usenet.
This would, of course, require globally identifiable objects and versioning, with a tree of versions, so that there could be plenty of versions of the same webpage. (I've always felt Torvalds is sincere when he says Git is his main contribution to humanity as a programmer.)
And links would have to be version-dependent. And links would have to be not part of objects, but associated objects themselves. This way you can have object directories, or fan-in objects (objects A, B and C combine into the object D, or maybe D follows from A, B, and C as a logical statement), or fan-out objects (there's object A, for which there are comments or subscripts B, C and D at some corresponding marks in the A structured text). Or, well, normal links referring to two objects (the exact location, again, of what part of a document is a link is contained in the link object).
This is a bit similar to voting systems, where ranked choice and ability to give a negative vote can change a lot. And this also encourages wide participation.
I just have that feeling that we as a humanity are led on a path of prepared bubbles enriching very specific people creating them and firmly knowing when and how they burst. When these people collect enough power, they might start changing the world in a direction we won't like at all.
OK, dreaming again.

Are you brave or are you a coward?
Do you get pushed around or are you willing to defend those getting pushed if you know it's wrong?
I ask because so many people are soft but not gentle. They demand peace but aren't peaceful. I find them weak. So I want to know. Be honest.
UPDATE: I find it utterly pathetic that people can't take real criticism. Like they are triggered over anything that needs to be said.

It’s a bit of both. I’m a photographer and I like to think of my outfits like photos, especially when I’m going somewhere where I plan to network. I want to present myself as someone with a good sense of style and who knows how to make people look good. So my style is my own, but I try to make sure I look good and fit the vibe of where I’m going.
I recently went to a party focused on some spiritual stuff and to match the vibe I got some 3/4 harem pants, but I got ones with a slightly muted floral pattern to make it my own. I made the rest of my outfit plain and dark to match and really emphasize the new pants. It was a style a bit outside my comfort zone, but was a big hit and I got lots of compliments.
Do you believe Luigi Mangione killed Bryan Johnson? Can he be found guilty with the evidence against him?
Personally: no & yes. For the latter, a legitimate court of law ought to laugh at this case. But that's not what he is facing.
The subject came up in conversation, so I figured I would take the temperature here.

Encrypt your Linux with LUKS, like seriously.
This makes a world of difference. I know many people may know of it but may not actually do it. It Protects your files in case your computer is ever stolen and prevents alphabet agencies from just brute forcing into your Laptop or whatever.
I found that Limine (bootloader) has the fastest decryption when paired with LUKS at least for my laptop.
If your computer isn't encrypted I could make a live USB of a distro, plug it into your computer, boot, and view your files on your hard drive. Completely bypassing your Login manager. If your computer is encrypted I could not.
Use a strong password and different from your login
Benefits of Using LUKS with GRUB
Enhanced Security
- Data Protection: LUKS (Linux Unified Key Setup) encrypts disk partitions, ensuring that data remains secure even if the physical device is stolen.
- Full Disk Encryption: It can encrypt the entire disk, including sensitive files and swap space, preventing unauthorized access to confidential information.
Compatibility with GRUB
- Unlocking from Bootloader: GRUB can unlock LUKS-encrypted partitions using the cryptomount command, allowing the system to boot securely without exposing sensitive data.
- Support for LVM: When combined with Logical Volume Management (LVM), LUKS allows for flexible partition management while maintaining encryption.
like this
arch linux was what forced me to use LUKS on all of my installs regardless of distros, btw.
i used the standard layout:/boot, /, /home, swap. So when the installs break, the best way to fix is to use the archiso and remount and re arch-chroot.
Well.... i found out that without LUKS, anybody can use any distros live cd and mount my stuff.
At first, I used LUKs only on the main partitions: so / and /home, or just / if no separate /home. Swap remains unencrypted. Boot is also unencrypted.
You could encrypt those too but need more work and hackery stuff:
- encrypted boot: can be slow if you boot the compututer from cold. There's also this thing where you need to enter the password twice => think Fedora has an article to get around this. Iirc, it involves storing the boot's encrypted password as a key deep within the root directory.
- encrypted swap: the tricky thing is to use this with hibernation. I managed to get it to work once but with Zram stuff, I dont use hibernation anymore. It involved writing the correct arguments in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg. Basically tells the bootloader to hibernate and resume from hibernation with the correct UUID.

Le celebrazioni di Genova per Cristoforo Colombo
Domenica 12 ottobre, Genova celebra Cristoforo Colombo con una serie di iniziative che culminano nella cerimonia colombiana a Palazzo Ducale, che si conclude con il conferimento dell’onorificenza del Grifo Città di Genova alla partigiana Mirella Alloisio. Come da tradizione ad anticipare l’evento più solenne, alle ore 15, le partenze dei cortei storici, che animano il centro cittadino.
La prima iniziativa ha come protagonista il Corteo Storico del Comune di Genova, con una sfilata da Palazzo Ducale che attraversa piazza Matteotti, piano di Sant’Andrea, Porta Soprana e vico Dritto Ponticello per raggiungere la Casa di Colombo dove si tiene una cerimonia commemorativa con deposizione di corone e interventi istituzionali.
Il secondo appuntamento, intitolato “I Chiostri del Tempo di Colombo”, è organizzato dal Comitato Nazionale per Colombo di Bruno Aloi ed è patrocinato dal Comune di Genova. L’evento prevede la partenza contemporanea di due cortei che confluiscono in piazza De Ferrari: il “Corteo del Nuovo Mondo” (percorso via Garibaldi, piazza Fontane Marose, via XXV Aprile); il “Corteo del Vecchio Mondo” (Casa di Colombo, via Dante, via Fieschi e via XX Settembre). Insieme, poi, lungo via San Lorenzo sino a Calata Falcone Borsellino, al Porto Antico, dove viene rievocato lo sbarco di Cristoforo Colombo a San Salvador il 12 ottobre 1492. L’iniziativa coinvolge complessivamente circa 350 figuranti.
Dalle ore 17, nel Salone del Maggior Consiglio di Palazzo Ducale, si svolgerà la Cerimonia Colombiana, istituita negli anni Cinquanta. La celebrazione sarà aperta dal saluto ai liguri nel mondo da parte della sindaca di Genova Silvia Salis alla presenza di Mario Menini, presidente dell’Associazione Liguri nel Mondo.
Seguiranno gli interventi del presidente di Regione Liguria Marco Bucci, dell’assessore comunale alla Cultura Giacomo Montanari e del direttore del Galata Museo del Mare Piero Campodonico. In rappresentanza del Consiglio dei Ministri interverrà il ministro per la Pubblica Amministrazione Paolo Zangrillo.
La relazione annuale, affidata a Roberto Santamaria, ricercatore dell’Università per Stranieri di Siena, avrà come tema: “Non solo Colombo: i genovesi dominatori del commercio del marmo nel Mar Mediterraneo”.
Nel corso della commemorazione verranno conferiti i Premi Colombiani. La Medaglia Colombiana al professor Antonio Musarra, riconoscimento destinato a chi, indipendentemente dalla nazionalità, si sia distinto per ardimento, impegno negli studi e nelle esperienze, nonché per audacia nelle realizzazioni di alto valore umano o in efficaci contributi scientifici e divulgativi.
Il Premio Internazionale delle Comunicazioni “Cristoforo Colombo” sarà conferito al Corpo delle Capitanerie di Porto – Guardia Costiera, per il contributo offerto, attraverso scoperte, ricerche o iniziative di valore tecnico, scientifico, sociale e umano, al progresso delle comunicazioni e alla collaborazione tra i popoli.
Il Premio Internazionale dello Sport andrà invece a Giovanni Malagò. Il premio viene conferito ad atleta, sportivo o ente, associazione o persona che abbia meglio contribuito nell’anno a valorizzare lo sport, considerato non solo nei suoi aspetti fisici ed agonistici, ma anche in quelli spirituali ed educativi.
Nel corso della cerimonia sarà inoltre presentata l’offerta dell’olio da parte del Comune di Riomaggiore, destinato alla lampada votiva che arde presso le ceneri di Cristoforo Colombo, custodite nel Faro di Santo Domingo.
La commemorazione si concluderà con il conferimento dell’onorificenza del Grifo Città di Genova a Mirella Alloisio, da parte della sindaca Silvia Salis, in riconoscimento del suo costante impegno nel rafforzare i valori e l’identità della comunità genovese.

cinturanza rinnovistica di grado 3 per la banda ximi numero 9 (i nuovi cinturini arrivati)
Alla fine, a ritirare i fantasmagorici cinturini per la mia povera Mi Band 9 castigata ci è andato mio padre ieri sera, che doveva fare la spesa con mia madre, e allora è passato al bloccatore Amazon… e ora si gode? Non saprei, a dire il vero, ma l’emergenza è sicuramente passata, e ora posso di nuovo indossare il mio orologino magico cinese come un orologio, anziché come una collanina strana come ho fatto per questi giorni — perché alla fine, in realtà, devo dire che quell’idea non è stata terribile, e almeno come ripiego base ha funzionato, riuscendo a contarmi quantomeno i passi e permettendomi di vedere l’ora senza ricorrere ad altri oggetti… 😯
Beh, i cinturini a questo giro sono ben 3 — …che sono in realtà pochini per essere venduti in blocco, ma questo passa il convento nel nostro sistema economico malato — perché, con un budget ridotto, ho preferito comprarne una serie di uguali, anziché uno solo con gli stessi soldi… Cioè, partendo dalla condizione di avere 0 cinturini da parte, è meglio comprarne qualcuno in più di soltanto 1, perché, se se ne compra solo uno, e poi pure quello si rompe, si è punto e a capo nella stessa vecchia rogna… cinturini simpatici più pazzi, che da soli costano abbastanza, li posso sempre comprare poi, magari su AliExpress addirittura. 👌E allora, boh! Solita marca assolutamente sconosciuta, e un totale di 9,99 euro… quindi, 10 euro… però con uno sconto del 5% al momento dell’ordine… quindi di 50 centesimi… quindi 9,49 euro… e ok, va: amazon.it/-/en/Msksjer-Compati…. Devo dire però che i colori nelle immagini non rispecchiano per niente bene quelli effettivi (mentre nei dettagli testuali dell’inserzione sono giusti, stranamente)… il bianco è più bianco, senza quella strana tinta giallognola che percepisco (e direi che è un bene), quello che sembra marrone è in realtà un rosa “secco” (gradevole, ringraziamo il cielo, altro che marrone), e il verde nella realtà mi appare più pallido (e questo è sia un pro che un contro a seconda dei casi, penso io). Non rendono al 100% nemmeno nelle mie foto, a dire il vero, anche se ho fatto il meglio che potevo, quindi si abbia pazienza… 🔪
Appena tolti dalla confezione ultraminimale che non permette una goduriosa esperienza di unboxing, però, questi cosi mi hanno fatto decisamente scoppiare il cervello, perché ci avrò messo, tra capire come fare a regolarlo in primo luogo, e poi come regolarlo per il mio braccio, non meno di 7 minuti buoni… Perché, a differenza di quelli che comprai per la Mi Band 3 l’anno passato, che semplicemente usano il velcro, questi sono di un qualche tessuto elastico (anche qui, dicono nylon, ma io che ne so) per permettere di essere tolti e rimessi, e per la regolazione usano un ferretto… che è però persino meno intuitivo di quelli che si usano negli zaini, quindi ecco; ma questo non è un problema del prodotto, è semplicemente un problema di skill (e quando mai…). Chissà se, col bonus di niente velcro, ma col malus dell’elasticità, possano durare di più o di meno… 🤥
L’importante è che, avendone provato uno da ieri sera fino a stamattina, e ovviamente ancora ce l’ho addosso in questo momento, sembrano boni. Di tutti, ho per ora messo quello rosa (e c’erano dubbi?), per cui casualmente una delle watchface che avevo già installate si abbina in misura sublime (anche se, ahinoi, in foto si nota poco), quindi l’esperienza mibandica è stata in un istante potenziata. È abbastanza comodo, lo percepisco più sottile e meno ingombrante di quello ufficiale di gomma che si è spaccato (e beh, in effetti lo è), e mi da decisamente molto meno fastidio di quello, quando sto alla scrivania… in tutti gli altri casi è semplicemente buono, non noto differenze, va benissimo!!! E chiaramente, grazie alla regolazione a ferretto anziché a buchi, e all’elasticità della stoffa, sta regolato perfettamente al polso, senza essere né troppo lasco né troppo stretto… Vabbé, dai, a questo punto è giusto dirlo: godo. 🥰
