    Well, most of those aren’t really part of the “systemd init system”, they are just part of the “systemd project” which is more than just the init system.

    As such they are just optional services that you can install (except the ssh part which is still the same ssh but with a different default configuration), but the init system of systemd is still the same. They are just more convenient and/or advanced for distro maintainers.

    As a matter of fact, most desktop distributions don’t even use “systemd-networkd” which is the networking manager of systemd. Instead they use “networkmanager”, which many people associate with systemd, but it’s really an entirely different project.

    You are still free to use the systemd init system in place of sysvinit, and not use all those services you dislike, you just have to configure them. Which most people think is inconvenient, but shouldn’t be a problem for you seeing as you don’t like the convenience of the systemd ecosystem.









  • So, first of all, there is no gui for this, that I’m aware of, so you will have to do it from terminal. Second, on f2fs, compression works that you don’t enable compression for a folder, instead you mount the drive with compression enabled, and new files will be compressed automatically.

    So what you need is to set up your disk to be mounted with compression. There are many paths you can follow here. If you want your drive to be (almost) permanently connected, the easiest way is to use “/etc/fstab”. If you want to use it as a regular SD card, mounting and ejecting it from your file explorer etcetera, then you should go here and learn how to have udisks2 mount your device with compression, which should be what your desktop environment uses to mount drives. I suggest you set that up for your specific device, and not for all f2fs devices. Good luck.

    You can look up other useful f2fs options on the arch wiki. I suggest you add all those options that reduces writes to your disk and improve durability (like lazytime).

    You should use zstd as compression algorithm, and because this is a slow and small drive, you can crank up the level of compression.

    If you manage to pull this off, the next time you install a (bigger and faster) drive on your pc, you can try to look into zfs.







  • You can buy an usb-powered one for a couple euros from AliExpress, or you can hook 5V to an original bar. But the bar itself is just two Infrared lights, there’s plenty of substitutes (i.e. literally two candles 20cm apart).

    P.s. do not leave the bar permanently on, you will burn out the LEDs. The Wii turns it off with the console

    P.p.s. you can configure esperto-wiimote to run a command when you connect the First wiimote, and disconnect the last. It’s meant for turning on and off the bar, if you can do it programmatically
