To add ssh support for ease of use to login and use github, first do the following.
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
This will generate an id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files in the ~/.ssh folder.
Then run these two commands:
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/whatever-you-named-id_rsa
Then copy the public ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub and open a browser and go to github.com > settings > ssh and gpg keys > new ssh key and paste the
public id rsa in there.
Now you can clone and use any repos you have.
NOTE: when cloning, use the ssh option when you press on "Code". NOTE: If you have multiple ssh keys, make a "config" file (just name it config in ~/.ssh), and put the following per account
# Personal
Host github.com
HostName github.com
PreferredAuthentications publickey
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_personal
If dual booting, make sure to have windows's Bitlock password. Then go to bios and remove secure boot keys (aka put into setup mode) Then do the following:
sudo pacman -S sbctl
sudo sbctl status # Make sure you are in setup mode
sudo sbctl create-keys
sudo sbctl enroll-keys -m
sudo sbctl sign -s -o /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi.signed /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi
sudo sbctl sign -s <path-to-kernel> # path to kernel for me was /boot/vmlinuz-linux-lts
sudo sbctl sign -s <path-to-boot-manager> # path to boot manager for me was /boot/efi/EFI/GRUB/grubx64.EFI
sudo sbctl verify # make sure it's all greenArticle for configuring HiDPI displays on high-end laptops. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/HiDPI

Use fbgrab <image>.png to take a picture of the tty
Use mpv <video or image or url> to view videos or images (this works on the tty as well).
Can use timg if tty is iffy.
Use yt-dlp <url> to download any video online (including YouTube).

You can also nuke the folders containing postgres (WARNING: this will remove everything!!!).

Grab the card's id as well as the video device's id associated with it.
Go to /etc/modprobe.d/ and make a file vfio.conf (or whatever else you'd like)
Paste the following into it:
options vfio-pci ids=10de:2520,10de:228e
softdep nvidia pre: vfio-pci
Replaces ids with your card's ids.
Run sudo mkinitcpio -P
To check if you're in vfio mode, run lspci -k | grep NVIDIA -A3
And see if the "kernel in use" is set to "vfio-pci"

This is to have notifications when the battery hits a certain percent, to tell you to plug the power.
Go in /etc/udev/rules.d and create two files. (replace USERNAME with your username). This will make sure to give notifications whenever a device is plugged or unplugged in (as well as charging/discharging).
power.rules:

Run this to first see a list of keys
gpg --list-keys
Then find the one that you need (usually the email you used to make the keys)
Then copy the line under pub.
Eeport public key.
gpg --export -a KEY_HERE > subkey.pub
Export private key
gpg --export-secret-subkeys -a KEY_HERE > subkey
To connect to a specific country, you must specify it in the "ExitNodes" like this:
EntryNodes {ca} StrictNodes 1
ExitNodes {it},{de} StrictNodes 1
Add this to "torrc" file, in windows it is located in the default tor folder and in linux it is in /etc/tor/torrc-defaults
1 means it is forced
0 means it can also use other nodes, if they one specified does not work.
In windows go to internet options > connections > LAN settings > Advanced and make sure "Use the same proxy server ..." is checked off, then delete everything and add this to socks (last option): socks: localhost port: 9050
