TIL you can set the brightness of external monitors with ddcutil

[See here.](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Backlight#External_monitors)

I've always been a bit annoyed about having to navigate through the clumsy monitor buttons. Being able to do that with a keybind is a great advantage.

Kitty Terminal Theme Changer

I just released a tool that some people might find helpful. It provides a simple CLI interface for changing the Theme used by your Kitty Terminal as well as toggling between a light and a dark theme if you wish.

It works nicely with the collection of Kitty Themes put together by [/u/dexpota](https://www.reddit.com/u/dexpota/) a while back: [https://github.com/dexpota/kitty-themes](https://github.com/dexpota/kitty-themes)

Merry New Years and Happy Holidays.

First "useful" noscript download files from Sci-Hub

This is my first [noscript](https://github.com/pabilbado/c_sci-hub) I feel confident sharing and actually feel like it is useful. It's a noscript that downloads scientific papers from [Sci-Hub](https://sci-hub.se), it also has the extra option to download through Tor of Sci-Hub is blocked in your country. Let me know what people think and how to make it more functional.

Node.JS developers! What linux distro do you use?

I am developing an desktop app using Node, Vue and Electron. I am a big fan of Windows, but it is uncomfortable to me sometimes; it requires me to install something seemingly too much!

I researched for a week to find best OS, but I have concluded that there is no perfect one.

So, I don't ask for what distro is the best, but what Node developers actually use in development.

Please let me know what you are on, and cons and pros.

p.s. My interests for now: KDE looks nice but not sure it is good for development. I have a Debian based web server for 5yrs, I don't care your OS is Arch based or anything else.
