For me there are two 'colors' that are interesting Blue which has strong tactile feedback, requires slight force, and gives a loud audible mechanical click on each keystroke. Brown is the same as blue but has no load mechanical click, just the tactile feedback. I don't necessarily make no mistakes but I know certainly when I have struck a key. As far as brands go, most ones with names you don't recognise won't last a year. Probably a logitech one would be O.K.? You can also get ones with keyboard lighting. It is actually helpful, though ones that do light shows are to be avoided. Just a simple green or such and perhaps ones that briefly dim the light on each key when you strike it.

The buckling spring design was created to provide a tactile experience comparable to an IBM Seletric typewriter, to support professional typists in an office environment. I used and loved the Model M back in the day, but the noise gets tiresome and any persons not protected by a soundproof wall will hate you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_M_keyboard Unicomp makes modernized variants: https://www.pckeyboard.com/page/category/UKBD I believe I have read postings by people who installed O-rings on their Model M's to reduce the noise. Another reader mentioned Cherry. You can get complete keyboards from Cherry and you can get keyboards from other manufacturers with Cherry MX mechanical switches. Make sure you understand the various colors and your typing needs/ preferences: https://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2012/12/an-introduction-to-cherry-mx-mechanical-switches/ I have been using a Keyed Up Labs ES-87 for the past several years. I am a pounder and have worn out or broken many keyboards, but the KUL-87 and its Cherry MX Clear switches have withstood me. The noise level is tolerable when typing at full speed, but you can slow down and type half-stroke when you want minimal noise: https://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/6625/keyed-up-labs-kul-es-87-tenkeyless-mechanical-keyboard-review/index.html The bottom of the barrel are keyboards with rubber dome switches. If you do any serious typing, you and your fingers will not be happy. I use leftover dome switch keyboards on headless servers to prevent missing keyboard errors and to perform minimal sysadmin chores (entering encryption passphrases during boot, logging in as root, restarting, powering off, etc.). I have noted that my older PS/2 keyboards and/or mice are not recognized by the motherboard firmware Setup utility on my newer Dell workstations and/or servers with PS/2 ports. And, PS/2 keyboards and mice are not hot-pluggable. So, unless you have some specific PS/2 need (gamer with large N-key rollover?), I suggest USB. David

Re: what keyboard do you use?
> I figure there's a high percentage of keyboard jockeys here so .. > which keyboard do you like and why? My favorites are the old Thinkpad USB UltraNav travel keyboards (http://salestores.com/stores/images/images_747/31P9490.jpg). They even come with a 2-port USB hub so you can connect a mouse directly to them (and/or a security key, ... tho you can't go crazy because it has very low power limits (and it's USB-1 only): no flash drive, for instance). But they're becoming hard to find. I also have one of those cheap 78-key compact&thin keyboards and, beside the lack of "page up"/"page down" keys (and of course the lack of a trackpoint), I really like it. Mine is a "no brand" model, but it's fairly similar to the JLab Go wireless keyboard (https://www.jlab.com/products/jlab-go-keyboard?variant=39457511407688), except with a cable so I don't need to worry about batteries or bluetooth connection.

I like the flat style similar to what is in many notebooks. Current favourites are the Apple keyboards (expensive though, for what they are), the Microsoft Designer Compact Keyboard (stupid generic model name), that seems to have a problem for some that the electronics die prematurely, it might not be able to connect any longer after some time. Great if it works though, can often be gotten relatively cheaply for about half the normal price. Very minimal design, you can't take away much more from a keyboard: https://www.microsoft.com/en/accessories/products/keyboards/microsoft-designer-compact-keyboard?activetab=pivot:overviewtab And a new fascination of mine, the Logitech MX series, also kind of expensive, and with rather ugly design, but typing feels just wonderful. Of the cheaper ones, I like the Logitech k280e. Feels quite OK for the price, not on the level of the obove three though. Also large, clunky and heavy. I used to be a full layout (with keypad) person, but recently I began to like the smaller layouts. Takes up less space on the desk, only thing I miss are the full cursor keys. Easier to move around on the desk, which I do a lot. Keyboards are a product where preferences diverge a lot and are very personal. Fortunately there is lots of choice in the market currently. /ralph

The /EFI/boot directory of a bootable Debian ISO usually does not contain the full GRUB equipment for EFI. Important parts of an amd64 Live ISO are in /boot/grub. Certainly. And grubx64.efi in EFI/Boot of a live media behaves a bit differently from one in EFI/debian of a regular install since in the former case it relies on boot/grub residing on the same partition. My point was to copy *files* to the pre-partitioned drive, not a whole image to the whole block device. I had a hope that the topic starter is aware of the recommended way to create a bootable USB stick using dd (or cp, etc.). I usually copy files to existing single FAT partition on USB drives having msdos partition table (as they are shipped). It requires additional actions to setup syslinux for the sake of legacy boot, but it leaves enough space to put some additional files while the boot drive is prepared or during live session (requires remounting as rw). UEFI boot relies on files and their specific layouts, not on specific block addresses.

I have several of the now classic IBM Model M keyboards I procured in the '90s. Modern BIOSes don't like them even with a PS/2 to USB adapter so I gave up on them. The Lenovo KU-0225 is a good keyboard with the "standard" extra keys that are useful in some desktops. It is full size and quiet. My main keyboard is a daskeyboard I bought several years ago with the Cherry key switches It is thick so you might not like it and it is loud. It has the same number of keys as the Lenovo, 104, I think. This one was not cheap while the Lenovo was considerably less expensive. - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."

Sigh. The solution I took depends on the fact that the libvirtual stuff uses dnsmasq for DNS and DHCP. And dnsmasq reads the host machine's hosts file. Nice. But, as you pointed out, so does the host machine's DNS lookup stuff. Sigh. Possibly the solution to this problem is to see if I can take it out of hosts, add it to dnsmasq directly, and finagle dnsmasq to only be visible to the virtual machines. But I don't think that will solve the routing problem. -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
busybox-syslogd remote and memory logging
Hi there, I'm using busybox-syslogd. I'm trying to make it log to remote system and to memory buffer. According to manual I should use -R 192.168.1.1 for remote logging and -C128 option for memory buffer. Unfortunately, when used together logs are only sent to remote server. On Bookworm the following works sbin/syslogd -R 192.168.1.1 -L -C128 Logs are sent to remote server and are kept in memory (for reading with logread). Unfortunately I'm unable to find proper options for Sid. Logs are sent to remote server but not stored in mem (logread gives empty output). Any suggestions? Regards Greg

Well, we don't know what's "right" or "wrong" on your networks. These are private (non-routable) addresses with no meaning to anyone but you and your fellow network denizens. If you need different name resolution depending on whether you're running on the host vs. running on the guest, then I would imagine there is some well-known way to define that.

Add changes to UEFI to start booting. dd-ing a bootable Debian ISO will not do what you describe. Assumed the ISO is prepared for booting from USB stick, you will get a bootable Live or an installer system. At least ISOs for i386, amd64, and arm64 should be prepared for that. If it is not ready for booting from USB stick, it will be just a storage with a mountable filesystem and Debian files in it. Max Nikulin wrote: > > Just copy files from LiveCD (it should have EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi) > > to the ESP partition on the USB stick. The /EFI/boot directory of a bootable Debian ISO usually does not contain the full GRUB equipment for EFI. Important parts of an amd64 Live ISO are in /boot/grub. The programs in /EFI/boot are specialized on convincing Secure Boot and on finding the ISO filesystem with /boot/grub in it. (Actually those are copies of the EFI boot partition files. The boot partition is a FAT filesystem image file inside the ISO named /boot/grub/efi.img .) Tim Woodall wrote: > > I'm not exactly sure what you're doing. I join this statement. :)) Do you want a normal changeable Debian system installation or do you want a Live system with its immutable core and maybe some partition where you can store files ?

Then this file tells the boot loader about the /boot or / partition.

The NVRAM is configured to boot:

That then hunts for grub.cfg. I believe it finds the first grub.cfg -
which has caused me issues in the past where I've had a legacy partition
on the disk that I'd forgotten about but the efi application sees. I'd
be interested if there's a way to tell grubx64.efi to look for a
particular partition UUID.
That menuentry above then tells efi to chainload the xen.efi
application. This is all in efi land.
That then reads xen.cfg and boots the kernel and initrd defined in that

What I said was unlikely is that an option in ifupdown's configuration, /e/n/i, would control NM's behaviour.

Right, and so the default NM configuration (ifupdown plugin present, news to me) and [ifupdown] // managed=false in the .conf file, means that NM should not, by default, configure any interface mentioned in /e/n/i. In the OP's case, the original /e/n/i: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 433 Oct 4 17:23 interfaces.orig is big enough to hold a typical lo+eth+wlan configuration, which we haven't seen yet. Cheers, David.

(Try it, Brothers come with this by default.) Thanks DSR. Scanning thru the docs I don't see anything that looks like what the print job shops of the last century called a "binding ditch". That is where the output file has say a 15mm blank space inserted on the left edge of odd numbered pages, while that same 15mm of blank space is inserted to the right of the text on even pages, leave a blank area to perfect bind the duplex pages w/o burying the text into the center crack of the opened pages. Have they adopted a new name for this? Printers (the people) still call it that. You will also want to install latex ( apt install texlive-extra-utils will get you what you need) pandoc options: -V geometry:margin=1in (all four sides) -V geometry:left=3cm,right=3cm,top=2cm,bottom=2cm (separate values for each side) and finally, what you probably want: -V geometry:twoside,left=15mm,right=30mm,top=2cm,bottom=3cm I just tested that and it did a pretty nice job. My actual command: pandoc -f markdown -t pdf -V geometry:twoside,left=15mm,right=30mm,top=2cm,bottom=3cm test.md -o foo.pdf -dsr- Downright tasty stuff, thank you dsr. .
