A cookbook approach to maintaining a personal ZMK fork

This is a brief introduction to the tools needed to maintain a personal fork of ZMK (or QMK or really whatever). It covers:

the initial setup
updating your fork with the latest ZMK features
merging PRs into your fork
deleting PRs from your fork
resetting your fork
using your fork to compile with Github Actions

Conquering Kubernetes with Emacs

Specific Annoying workflow

Listing pods with kubectl get pods, then select a pod name and copy paste it into kubectl logs [pod name]

Why?

I want to streamline my workflow and stop using the terminal
learn more about kubernetes
main kubernetes extension for Emacs out there is greedy for permissions

I had some massive problems when installing the 10.13.3 update on macOS. The update installed, my computer successfully restarted - but on a subsequent restart the boot failed and displayed the following installation log:

Apr  4 04:07:04 MacBook-Pro opendirectoryd[186]: [session] Processing a network change notification
Apr  4 04:07:06 MacBook-Pro Unknown[526]: Launching the Language Chooser for an OS Install
Apr  4 04:07:06 MacBook-Pro bspowerassertiontool[521]: Tool exited successfully (0).
Apr  4 04:07:06 MacBook-Pro launchprogresswindow[524]: ISAP: Show progress UI called

Our goal here is to have one USB stick to rule them all. Objectives:

We want a full system - not a live CD
We want to boot this system on a Macbook Pro (requires UEFI)
We want to boot this system on a Acer C720 Chromebook (requires Legacy BIOS support)
We want the system "functional"

The last bullet is subject to interpretation, but I'm defining functional as:

X Windows works (with LXDE)

To remove a submodule you need to:

Delete the relevant section from the .gitmodules file.
Stage the .gitmodules changes git add .gitmodules
Delete the relevant section from .git/config.
Run git rm --cached path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
Run rm -rf .git/modules/path_to_submodule (no trailing slash).
Commit git commit -m "Removed submodule "
Delete the now untracked submodule files rm -rf path_to_submodule

I recommend fcitx-mozc for Japanese Input Method in Arch or Angergos, and I'm also using it. I think fcitx-mozc is better than ibus-mozc for some reasons. First one is that there are official binary package of fcitx-mozc, but ibus-mozc is only in AUR. Secondly, fcitx is more configurable than ibus.

Please see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fcitx for way of installing and configuring fcitx.

After that, you can configure alternative keybind of "Zenkaku-Hankaku." Since I'm using US keyboard, I set C-\ (Control + \) for Zenkaku-Hankaku key. The option is at

"Configure" (at fcitx's menu, appears after right-clicking fcitx icon or run `fcitx-configtool` on terminal) > "Global Config" > "Trigger Input Method."

You can switch on or off to use input method with key on that config, or switch between all of installed input methods.
