  • How curious. Are you doing a play?

    You might have to DIY one if you don’t want an old one. Certainly there are websites you could upload a PDF to that would print for you.

    I think the boxes made sense when they were for sale in a brick n mortar store because they are harder to steal and make the person feel like they are buying something when digital goods weren’t such an instinctive idea. I doubt they would be shipped because they are big for no reason and would require a lot of packaging to keep from getting wrecked in transit vs a USB key in a bubble envelope.

    To buy linux in a box, you would have to find somewhere near you that is selling it in person. A computer store, a book store. Maybe a campus bookstore? They have a captive audience so sometimes can get away with stuff that doesn’t otherwise make business sense.

    There is a keyboard shortcut to reload the config. I don’t remember what the default is. On the kitty website, go to the page about kitty.conf and ctrl-f reload or refresh.

    To check that the config is really reloading, make an edit to the section about theme, tab style, etc.

    There is a way to output the actual config as used so you can look for your settings.

    If you call kitty from the command line you can optionally use an argument to specify a config file. Iirc it is --config but verify in docs.

    What is the location of the config file you are editing?

    Post the section of the config file that isn’t working?

    Try moving the section you are editing to the very bottom of the file to ensure it isn’t getting over rided later on.


  • Wikipedia’s Sci-Hub:

    In December 2022, in the journal Information Development, an academic researcher survey found, when confronted by a paywall, they try to find an open-access version, then ask colleagues with other credentials, then use shadow libraries.[2] 57% of respondents have used shadow libraries while 36% of respondents were unaware that shadow libraries exist.[2]

    In other words, whether you use grassroots, collectivized forms of knowledge centralization (aka “shadow libraries”) in your work depends entirely on whether you are aware they are an option. Those who know, use. Most know.

    (That is one of more boring parts of that wikipedia page.)
