Below is a summary of a way to create a short shell script that will re-create symlinks that cannot be stored in certain archive formats (e.g. 7z archives or zip files [when created with certain tools]).

{ printf 'cd "$(dirname "$0")"\n'; find . -type l -printf 'ln -sfn "%l" "%p"\n' ; } > symlinks

The resultant file (symlinks) can be executed as follows to recreate symlinks on a UNIX-like system OS at a later point, e.g.

This patch modifies the Norwegian Macintosh keyboard layout on Ubuntu Linux to better match that of a modern Macbook's physical labels and expectations:

• Replaces | (pipe) with ' (apostrophe) as the primary symbol for the key below esc
• Promotes $ to Shift+4
• Introduces € as AltGr+4
• Demotes ¤ (currency) to Shift+AltGr+4 (since this is hardly used these days)
• Swaps the order of the dead keys of the ´ (acute) and ​`​ (grave) acents on the key to left of backspace ←
• Enables access to higher level symbols by setting the right-most Alt ⌥ (Option) key as AltGr

To print the time in Swatch .beats from the terminal, issue the following:

printf @;TZ=UTC-1 date '+scale=2;((%H*60+%M)*60+%S)/86.4'|bc

You can save this as a shell alias so that you can check the time in .beats whenever you like alias beat="printf @;TZ=UTC-1 date '+scale=2;((%H*60+%M)*60+%S)/86.4'|bc".

Notes:

This is a short shell script to make date named directories.

#!/bin/sh
a=`TZ=UTC-1 date +%y%m%d-%T`;b=${a#*-};c=${b#*:}
mkdir -v ${a%-*}`printf %04d $(echo "((${b%%:*}*60+${c%:*})*60+${c#*:})/8.64"|bc)`|grep -Eo \[0-9]+

The following is a quick guide on how to manually download, extract and run Signal for Linux on a non-(deb)apt based distro (and includes a shell script that automates the entire process). This is for use when no suitable, native (re)package is available. It also includes some additional instructions on how to integrate with your desktop environment. Almost any recent distro (configured for desktop use) will likely have all the dependencies already installed—especially so if you already have any other Electron apps or a Chromium based browser installed, since they will require the same things.

[Note: Triple-click to easily select any of the lines below for copy and pasting into the terminal]

• Switch to a directory you think is suitable for housing Signal (for example ~/opt)

mkdir -p ~/opt && cd ~/opt
