This is my first Arch install and I keep forgetting or using unsafe pacman commands, so I made a thing.

Arch's philosophy is to be modular, give you control over everything, and allow you to shoot yourself in the foot every other day until you run out of toes.

This guide is meant to be used as a quick reference and prioritizes safe, sane defaults, but you should read the pacman docs first. They're a quick read, and will save you some pain later.

Pacman and Aur

Pacman only works with official repos - unofficial repos are listed in aur, the Arch Linux Repository. It's common to use yay, a wrapper that allows you to easily use both aur and the official repository:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import fileinput
import json
import argparse


SECCOMP_PROFILE = ('{"defaultAction": "SCMP_ACT_ERRNO",'
                   '"architectures": ['
                   '"SCMP_ARCH_X86_64",'
                   '"SCMP_ARCH_X86",'

Man page browser comparison

There are a bunch of man page browsers available online. They have different data sources, feature sets, and disadvantages, so here is a short comparison table:

Name	ls man page	No Trackers/Ads	Clickable Headings	Links²	ToC¹	Local Search	Noteworthy
Arch manual pages	ls

The instructions were tested on a Lenovo X1 Carbon 5th Gen (X1C5) on Arch Linux but should be applicable to other Lenovo models and Linux distributions.

BACKUP YOUR DATA! I created a bootable Ubuntu Image like this:

$ sudo sh -c 'curl --location --silent --fail "http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso" | pv > /dev/<your-usb-drive>'
# note that pv is only there to show progress, it is perfectly fine to redirect curl to the usb drive directly.

then I booted from this drive by pressing F12 on reboot and dumped my NVMe disk to an external hard drive like this:

This script creates a bracket set for post processing, allowing you to simulate an ND filter. 
Also you can use the script to create brackets to 'remove people' ;-)

Change the number of brackets or the time delay (s) between brackets using the MENU and PLAY keys (Green text)

Toggle between these changes with the UP key.

# to create a backup snapshot. To start using new media, just create one of those
# directories and run the script.

# I have two strategies because some of my backup disks are too small for my "Data"
