dotfiles

My personal dotfiles. I do not recommend to anyone seeking inspiration to blindly copy-paste my configs; they WILL introduce problems for you. The contents of each rc file, especially the .bashrc file, have been sourced by a variety of sources, including my personal experience & particularly my preferences. There is no particular philosophy to these configuration files, it's all personal taste, and adhere to the latest versions of applications I use between platforms, which are, for the most part, running the same OS. The common $XDG_CONFIG_HOME directory setup is semi-emulated, with exceptions for convenience.

details

• .shell-requirements is a requirements-style file for dependencies that are required for these dotfiles to work correctly.
• .stowconfig is a configuration file for the pstow.py utility under ./scripts/utils/. The file format should be self-explanatory, however documentation should exist somewhere.
• scripts/ contain scripts as well as some configuration files. The filenames should be a hint to their usage.
• .config contains generic configuration files. The most common $XDG_CONFIG_HOMEdirectory setup is emulated, however with exceptions for convenience.

installation

After running a setup script in dotfiles/scripts/setup/... I just need to install my dotfiles & my themes.

• To deploy my dotfiles I use pstow; check the command below.
• To install my compatibility layers for gaming, I use update-compat-layers, which is a utility located under scripts/utils/
• To set CTRL+Tab / CTRL+Shift+Tab as a shortcut in chrome, I use the following snippet from superuser

document.body.onclick = function (e) {
    gCT = !window.gCT;
    const p = e.composedPath(),
        cn = p[0].textContent,
        s = p.filter((p) => p.className == "shortcut-card")[0],
        n = s?.children[0].children[1].textContent;
    if (n)
        chrome.management.getAll((es) => {
            const ext = es.filter((e) => e.name == n)[0],
                { id } = ext;
            chrome.developerPrivate.getExtensionInfo(id, (i) => {
                const c = i.commands.filter((c) => c.description == cn)[0];
                if (c)
                    chrome.developerPrivate.updateExtensionCommand({
                        extensionId: id,
                        commandName: c.name,
                        keybinding: `Ctrl+${gCT ? "" : "Shift+"}Tab`,
                    });
            });
        });
};

To automatically deploy the default profile: Warning! This is a DESTRUCTIVE command, and it WILL overwrite files!

cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/gerelef/dotfiles && ~/dotfiles/scripts/functionz/pstow --source ~/dotfiles --target ~ --profile default --force --yes

spellbook

• spotify backup playlists

foreach spotify-dump-playlist < $(spotify-dump-public-playlist-uris-from-profile 'YOUR_PROFILE_URI_HERE')```
- initramfs blew up, regenerate:
```bash
sudo dracut --force --regenerate-all --verbose && sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

• notifications using notify-send

notify-send --transient --action "idiot" --action "moron" --action "doofus" Test 'hello world!'

• string (.) split('|') equivalent

IFS='|' read -r var1 var2 var3 <<< $(echo $line)

• view stacktrace of what a command is actually doing

strace -s 2000 -o unlink.log unlink file1

services

Additionally to the services in the scripts/functionz/units/*, I also sometimes host the following services:

• ollama
• open-webui

IMPORTANT: You should copy the service files to the appropriate directory as specified below

system services

# make sure you replace $1 with the file name
sudo cp ./$1 "/etc/systemd/system/"  # this will automatically be owned by root

user services

# make sure you replace $1 with the file name
#  you can also softlink or hardlink this, but for consistency purposes it is
#  not recommended.
cp ./$1 "~/.config/systemd/user/"
