Starfall's dotfiles setup.

This is ["the best way to store your dotfiles"](https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/dotfiles).

## Prerequisites
* git

## Starting your own
```bash
git init --bare $HOME/.dotfiles
alias config='git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
echo "alias config='git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'" >> .bashrc
```

## Checking out on a new machine
```bash
git clone --bare https://git.starfall.systems/dots $HOME/.dotfiles
alias config='git --git-dir=$HOME/.dotfiles/ --work-tree=$HOME'
config checkout
config config --local status.showUntrackedFiles no
```

## Other new machine setup

### installed packages
* base-devel
* firefox
* fzf
* git
* htop
* pass
* vim
* zsh (remember to `chsh -s $(which zsh)`)

### sshd config
```bash
echo <<END
PermitRootLogin no
PasswordAuthentication no
END >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
```

### todo
* zsh plugins
  * zinit
  * p10k? honestly don't really need it
  * zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions (maybe)
  * zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting
  * zsh-users/zsh-completions
* fortune
* autoupdates
* krita and tablet support
* turn all of this stuff into an ansible playbook or something else automatable

## Pinebook Pro specific setup

### Optimize mirrors list
Default mirrors were really slow for me. `sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pacman -Syyu` bumped up the download speed from 30 kbps to 300kbps; still not the full connection but livable.

### Flash keyboard firmware
`git clone https://github.com/jackhumbert/pinebook-pro-keyboard-updater` and follow the instructions. Have an external keyboard handy after step 1.

### Configure ZRAM
Manjaro 20.06 appears to come with a /dev/zram0 preconfigured.
