Slack Cmd+Shift+A Hijacking Fix

Chrome has this fantastic ability to search through your (hundreds of) tabs, using cmd+shift+A (or ctrl+shift+A on systems without a cmd keyboard key).

Unfortunately, the Slack company has decided that it would not be an issue to re-use the same keyboard shortcut in both its web-app and the browser app. So if you use Slack in the browser, and your current chrome tab is viewing slack, your usual (and soon to be favourite) chrome-keyboard shortcut won't do what you expect.

This has been rather frustrating, and when asking Slack support to please fix their hijacking of this browser keyboard shortcut, their response was one of indifference (and suggesting i use Slack in the app.. another app?? no thanks).

Thus i had to take matters into my own hands, and put together this "fix" myself -

Overview

This solution (re-)adds VLAN (802.1Q) support to Debian installer's network configuration (netcfg), enabling automated installations on VLAN-tagged networks using both DHCP and static IP configurations.

Key Features:

• ✅ DHCP on VLAN interfaces
• ✅ Static IP on VLAN interfaces
• ✅ Works with standard Debian installer (bookworm/stable)

Running a VCSA 7.0.3 (VCenter Server Appliance v7.x) on KVM/libvirtd - using virsh/virt-install

I came across this helpful gist where it described trying this with an old version of the VCSA (v6.0) using Ansible.

While I am not using ansible directly (yet), I was able to use the steps there as a starting point and adapt the workflow to be able to bring-up VCSA v7.0.3 in libvirt/KVM.. It should work for any 7.x version, but no guarentees if it will work with VCSA v8.x

There were some slight things i had to adapt (namely, the guestfish commands; the filesystem layout changed since this ansible workbook was created in the newer version of the VCSA).
