Over the last few years, I have been reading the series “Linkdump” by Dirk Deimeke on his blog. I enjoy his collection very much and already started publishing something similar in 2020.
I want to start fresh with a new title and share articles from my open browser tabs and RSS feeds, I follow just over 300 feeds, with a short comment to spark your curiosity. In this series, I plan to cover articles, books, videos, and podcasts.
Interesting Articles from the Last 7 Days #
I organize the articles based on when I read them, not on their publication date!
- Martin Lysk - How I manage Images for my Blog: an interesting approach, though I prefer graphics-as-code tools like Mermaid or PlantUML.
- Larvitz Blog - Shell Tricks That Actually Make Life Easier (And Save Your Sanity): I’m working with Linux, Bash or better Shell for more than 25 years and still forget about such easy shortcuts, or the use of
$_. - mauvehed - Managing Dotfiles with Chezmoi: a three part series about
chezmoiand basic usage. I like the third article about the review process and the found issues or bugs. - An interesting approach for creating presentations. Kent Beck - Start Presentations on the Second Slide. Not sure if I can do this in my talks next week, but I will think about it the next time.
- Another important feature in Linux. crescentrose - The Compose key is magic: I’m using US keyboard layout since some years, first I just replaced German umlauts, but with the compose key every special German letter (and way more) is available on my finger tips. This article defines some extra shortcuts (arrows) which are super useful.
I set the compose key to the right Ctrl in Gnome with:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['compose:rctrl']"That’s the first ‘Open Tabs’ article and I hope you like at least one of the links. My plan is to share this on a weekly basis.
