Time to reboot this thing once again.

## 2023-06-18

Spilled coffee on my keyboard (Keebio Sinc Rev2), so I took the caps off to wash
them & it.  While they're drying I figured I should try using the new keyboard
I got to use at school (Keebio Sinc Rev3), to get used to it and discover any
issues.

Had to remember (again) how to flash this new one with a fresh QMK
configuration, because of course the process completely changed between r2 and
r3 so I need to keep track of two different methods.  Figured it out and added
a note in my repo so I'll remember for next time.

Once I was able to flash it, I had to figure out how to disable the RGB Gamer
Crud™ the stupid thing has enabled by default.  Googled around and found plenty
about how to enable the RGB crap, but less about how to disable it.  Eventually
I figured out the correct incantation to put into `rules.mk` and got it to look
like a normal keyboard.

Wanted to push those changes to GitHub but my GH personal access token seems to
have expired some time recently.  Went to create a new one and somehow the list
of permissions doesn't manage to make it clear which goddamn box you have to
check to say "just let me push and pull code".  For future reference: it's
`Contents`.

Pushed some changes to `cl-digraph` I've had sitting around for a while after
writing up a couple of quick tests.

Installing Debian LTS on my laptop so I don't have to do it again any time soon
while in grad school.  Taking notes to remember for when I put it on my desktop.

First, back up everything:

* Faster on wired ethernet.
* Don't forget password-store!
* Don't forget hidden dotfiles!

Partitioned everything, installed nothing.

Boot into a command line as root (no `sudo` yet).

Add user account to groups:

    usermod -a -G sudo   sjl
    usermod -a -G netdev sjl

Allow non-free packages:

    vim /etc/apt/sources.list

    edit to add non-free to lines, e.g.:
    deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free

    apt update

Install first round of stuff:

    apt install \
        nmtui sudo make
        curl wget network-manager
        fish rlwrap
        mercurial git
        xcape xautolock
        pulseaudio alsa-utils
        libzstd-dev libx11-dev libxft-dev
        build-essential autoconf pkg-config
        bzip2 udisks2 lm-sensors htop
        fonts-ubuntu w3m atool psmisc
        suckless-tools trash-cli
        dunst

Make wired connection manageable by network manager (might not need this?)
* Remove from `/etc/network/interfaces`
* `sudo service NetworkManager restart`

`chsh` to `/usr/bin/fish`.

Set up `.ssh` and keys.

Bootstrap lisp:

    sudo apt install sbcl
    git clone https://github.com/sbcl/sbcl
    git checkout sbcl-2.3.6
    sh make.sh --with-sb-core-compression
    sudo sh install.sh
    sudo apt remove sbcl

    curl -O https://beta.quicklisp.org/quicklisp.lisp
    sbcl --load quicklisp.lisp
    (quicklisp-quickstart:install :path "/home/sjl/.quicklisp/")

    TODO CCL and others

Get dotfiles:

    hg clone ssh://hsl/repos/dotfiles
    cd dotfiles
    ./bin/bootstrap.sh

    TODO build hg from scratch to get hg-git working maybe
    TODO bootstrap script might fuck up the fish config because shit's already created, thanks a lot fish

    git clone https://github.com/sjl/z-fish

Clone repos:

    hg clone hsl://adopt adopt
    cd adopt
    llp
    cd ..

    etc

Build st:

    git clone https://github.com/sjl/st

Get a desktop environment up and running:

    sudo apt install xinit xdm

    git clone https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm

    (ql:quickload "clx")
    (ql:quickload "cl-ppcre")
    (ql:quickload "alexandria")
    (ql:quickload "xembed")

    ./autogen.sh
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install

    cd ~/.stumpwm.d/
    git clone https://github.com/sjl/stumpwm-contrib modules
    cd modules
    git co sjl

Set up `pass`:

    git clone sjl@redacted:password-store .password-store
    sudo apt install pass scdaemon pinentry-gtk2
    gpg -a --export 5D... > public-key.txt
    copy over
    gpg --import < public-key.txt

Add GPU stuff:

    sudo apt install vainfo radeontop

Pulseaudio crap:

    sudo apt install pulseaudio alsa-utils
    pulseaudio --start
    alsamixer
    (m to unmute, up/down to change vol)

Set up Firefox:

    wget 'https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox&os=linux64&lang=en-US'
    aunpack fi…
    mv firefox /opt/
    cd /opt/
    chown -R root:root firefox
    ln -s /usr/local/bin/firefox /opt/firefox/firefox
    sudo apt install libgtk-3-0 libdbus-glib-1-2
    finish the rest of this garbage https://wiki.debian.org/Firefox#Hardware_Video_Acceleration

VLC (installs the world, sigh):

    sudo apt install vlc
    View > Docked Playlist to unbreak the playlist

Figure out a graphical file manager solution (double commander?).
