Usb keyboard unavailable during boot until all usb devices are initialised (solutions?)

Without other usb devices the keyboard works immediately. With them it takes 5 ish seconds for it to start responding. This is regardless of which device is discovered first (which I can manipulate), it seems to just wait for all of them. Is there a way to make it not do that?...

devtoi,

I had an issue where one keyboard (worked with another one) worked in bootloader, but not when entering the encryption password after that. I believe I solved that by moving keyboard earlier in the module list in mkinitcpio.conf. Maybe something similar would solve your issue?

Privacy@Lemmy.ml: Why use catch-all email domains over email aliases?

I’ve been looking at using email aliases services, and right now I’m thinking of using Simplelogin for all my online accounts and accounts where I can change my email easily, and getting my own domain to share with people and where I can’t easily update my email. It seems like I shouldn’t use my own domain for online...

devtoi,

I have basically the same thoughts as you. The reasons I can think of is:

  • Convenience (but SL is pretty convenient)
  • Less of a lock-in to one vendor.
  • Avoiding filters on sites not allowing aliasing domains (often incorrectly under the label “temporary email addresses”)
devtoi,

You seem to have a lot of recommendations already, but I just wanted to mention beancount as well. It’s a decently powerful plain text accounting software. Not sure if it does invoicing.

For me it has been good because I think it is fun to hack some new functionality together that I feel missing. E.g. parse pdf receipts and break down transactions into postings based on what is in the receipt. But it you aren’t interested in simple Python programming, I’d probably not recommend it.

Being able to easily version control it using git is really helpful when you are trying things.

devtoi,

Trickier than most. Pretty detailed. I think the island is a nice touch. The ropes are also interesting.

The dolphins!
