# DIY clipboard manager #Notes #MyCreation

This was the part of larbs but i never able to get it working until now.

Using xclip, xdotool and dmenu to fetch clipboard contents

*Dependancies:
- xdotool
- xclip
- dmenu
- sxhkd (optional and depends on how you manage keybinds)

xclip -sel c -o will put selected clipboard content into file
using dmenu later we will get the list of copied texts
but this file need to updated everytime we copied something.
So we can either cron job it or use a trigger recognizing program like entr.

So i choose to create aliases instead

alias \
cc="{xclip -sel c -o -r; printf '\n'; } >> ~/.local/share/larbs/snippets" \
cr=" : > ~/.local/share/larbs/snippets"

cc will update the clipboard and cr will clear all the file

and this sxhkd hotkey will be use to get the list of content.

super + Insert
xdotool type "$(dmenu -i -l 50 < ~/.local/share/clipboard/snippets)"

btw i created my harrypotter fan artwork base SLiM login manager theme.

A Hacker’s Mindset

Hacking is not sitting at a computer in a dark room and typing your way into a remote PC. Hacking is how you do Science

What really Hacking is?

What is Hacking Really?

The term hacking in itself is so exciting that those really interested in solving problems and bringing new ideas to life embrace the term hacking into disregarding the fact whether they are judged by the two-timers that break into other peoples computers for fun. Taking things apart and fixing them for purposes of improvement or better efficiency is what Hacking is all about.

This hackers mindset is very evident in the most resourceful and innovative minds of every decade that has been a gift to humanity. But to cultivate such a mindset is not difficult, but very natural, we just lose our way living up to a certain society’s expectations (including our own).

Hacking doesn’t just relate to machines or electronics and computers. You can be a hacker no matter what you do. Make glass sculptures, paint, fix cars, design fountains,nobody cares. As long as you obsessively try to solve problems, and you are not afraid of failing and coming up with innovative solutions, you are a hacker.

The Obsessive want to explore your craft and become the best “whatever” in your field is the ultimate hacker’s dream. Not the money, not the fame, and not the “coolness” of anything. The people who break into other people’s computers are called crackers. Those who do it for a living are called Network Security Professionals. Hacking in general means the ingenuity of new solutions to potentially (un)solvable problems.

"Why should I use Nyxt if I can use Vimium?"

By John Mercouris and Pedro Delfino

The infamous question

After introducing Nyxt to some people, it is frequent to hear to questions such as: Why should I use Nyxt if I can use Vimium (or 'Vimari 'Vrome 'Chromemacs 'Vimperator …) in my-favorite-popular-web-browser?

This question is reasonable. Web browsers and their extensions are part of one's daily habits. If one happens to be productive using them, it just makes sense to be really careful before trying something new.

In order to answer this frequent question, we decided to list four points that show the difference between Nyxt and popular plug-ins such as:

Vimium;
Tridactyl (an evolution of Vimperator and Pentadactyl);
Surfingkeys;
cVim (chromium Vim);
Vimari;
Vrome;
Chromemacs;
Vim Vixen;
Vimac;
Vieb;
Hunt-n-peck;
Vimium-C;
sVim;
Spotlink;
VimMotionVimFx;
Mouseless Browsing;
Firevin;

All of them try to bring the Vim/Emacs philosophy to mainstream web browsers. Our goal is not to demean other projects but clarify the contrast between Nyxt and those plug-ins. Each point will be illustrated by useful practical examples.
