I had two issues printing with CUPS on Arch Linux:

• When printing more than one copy, it always prints one.
• When selecting “Reverse” printing (that is, invert the order of the pages) didn’t work.

It’s a bug in libcupsfilters 2.2. Reverting to version 2.1 fixed it for me. I’ve added it …

If my life was a movie, the soundtrack would have several Roxette songs in it. It’s the sound of my daydreams, happiness and sadness; songs of love and heartbreak, pop guitars, strings and synthesizers.

It’s the 90s, my brother and I were in school. How Do You Do? was Roxette’s new single and it got a lot of radio airplay. I successfully recorded it with our tape…

There’s several facets of AI that sickens me. This is one of them. The price we’re paying is too much to bear.

I discovered Fabric, a Python-based automation framework. It’s a wrapper of Invoke and Paramiko (the Python SSH client). It’s thing is to run commands and automate tasks in remote servers.

What’s the difference with Ansible? Ansible’s approach is to ru…

One obscure, but very useful Bash trick is CTRL+X CTRL+E, which will open $EDITOR to edit the current line. This means I can switch to a Vim session with whatever I was typing on intact. This is handy for those times where I need a search-and-replace operation or fix things in a long command or build a long complex command from scratch.

I’m aware of Bash’s vi-mode, but I prefer using the default Emacs k…

I’ve upgraded to Renoise‘s latest version: 3.5.4, a phenomenal version, there’s lots and lots of new features! The thing I immediately liked the most is all meters show RMS! Yay! The possibility of doing Live Coding using pattrns is…

A few months ago I bit the bullet and installed Arch Linux on Prime, my Early 2011 13″ Macbook Pro. At this point in time, making Linux work on a Macbook Pro is no longer a challenge, especially of this vintage. It was amusing to see Intel’s text-mode character set on a Mac.

Prime is old and is showing its age. The battery has swollen, pushing the trackpad up making physically impossible to click. Despite its c…
