This is a list of questions to check our decision making.

Do I want to die on this hill?

  • Pass: This is morally good and if not handled has long term consequences
  • Fail: This if self serving

Am I including everyone?

  • Pass: My ego is not driving this conversation
  • Fail: The people in this conversation will only tell me I'm right and not push back

Starting Kodi automatically on Raspbian Jessie and Stretch
So you were able to install Kodi via "sudo apt-get install kodi" but have no idea how to force it to autostart on boot?
You have tried all those googled solutions such as adding kodi-standalone to .bashrc, creating init.d script but nothing worked?
This is the right place to get the answer.
For some reason, the current version of Kodi doesnt provide 2 important files:
/etc/init.d/kodi
/etc/default/kodi

List of some useful Stat Queries for PSQL
--- PSQL queries which also duplicated from https://github.com/anvk/AwesomePSQLList/blob/master/README.md
--- some of them taken from https://www.slideshare.net/alexeylesovsky/deep-dive-into-postgresql-statistics-54594192
-- I'm not an expert in PSQL. Just a developer who is trying to accumulate useful stat queries which could potentially explain problems in your Postgres DB.

This gist will show you how to tune your Intel-based Skylake, Kabylake and beyond Integrated Graphics Core for performance and reliability through GuC and HuC firmware usage on Linux.

Tuning Intel Skylake and beyond for optimal performance and feature level support on Linux:

Note that on Skylake, Kabylake (and the now cancelled "Broxton") SKUs, functionality such as power saving, GPU scheduling and HDMI audio have been moved onto binary-only firmware, and as such, the GuC and the HuC blobs must be loaded at run-time to access this functionality.

Enabling GuC and HuC on Skylake and above requires a few extra parameters be passed to the kernel before boot.

Instructions provided for both Fedora and Ubuntu (including Debian):

Note that the firmware for these GPUs is often packaged by your distributor, and as such, you can confirm the firmware blob's availability by running:

# You'll need to have sox, pavucontrol and alsa-utils installed, and the snd_aloop kernel module loaded.
# You can configure your system to load it on startup or load it manually with "sudo modprobe snd_aloop"
# Once this is script is running, you need to start recording audio in the application of your
# preference, open pavucontrol, go to the recording tab and change the recording source of that application
# to "Monitor of Loopback ..."

Kinesis Advantage 2 notes

(NOTE: Current and future versions of this and any other Advantage 2-related things I post will be at https://github.com/nicholasknight/adv2keyboard)

I received my Advantage 2 today. There's no full manual yet, even though keyboards are apparently arriving (hint, hint, Kinesis). The quick start guide leaves out the "power user mode", and there are some other quirks.

Update: A manual has been posted at http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/advantage2-resources/

It includes a dictionary for the key maps, but I know it leaves at least one possible key undocumented: it does not list f14, but I have successfully mapped my scrollock to f14 regardless.

It also mentions a firmware version (1.0.18) that doesn't seem to be available yet, with a new feature (status report playback speed).
