<title>Kanata: advanced keyboard configuration</title>

<description>Kanata is a software keyboard remapper that aims to improve keyboard comfort and usability with advanced customization. Keyboard remappers are a good alternative to running a custom keyboard with QMK/ZMK, and have two main advantages: they work on any keyboard, and you can configure them to launch any command or program you want, not just key presses.</description>

<description>As a follow-up to my last post, I&amp;rsquo;ve decided to also configure my mk850 combo (k850 + m720 triathlon).
Some notes:
The keyboard is usually connected to this PC through bluetooth. Since this is a change I usually do in the system for every keyboard, I added a rule for any bus (usb, bluetooth, etc) The mouse has an additional button that registers as a keyboard.</description>

<title>Logitech MX Keys for Mac on Linux</title>

<description>I recently got Logitech MX Keys for Mac keyboard at work. The German version, to be more precise. This version was three times cheaper than the Windows equivalent with either US or ES layout. Since I touch type anyway, I thought it was a bargain.
As soon as I plugged it in, I realized there were some glaring issues with the keyboard.</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Believe it or not, Surface tablets have pretty good linux support, except for the webcams in newer models.
These are some useful notes to get Ubuntu installed in your surface go, as of Summer 2019.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>This is a short tutorial on connecting a zigbee device (an Aqara cube) to an MQTT server, so you can control your zigbee devices from the network.
If you&amp;rsquo;re anything like me, you&amp;rsquo;re probably a sucker for IoT devices. For a long time, I&amp;rsquo;ve been using WiFi-enabled lights, and Amazon dash buttons to control them.</description>

<description>Today&amp;rsquo;s post is half a quick note, half public shaming. In other words, it is a reminder to be very careful with OAuth tokens and passwords.
As part of moving to emacs, I starting using the incredibly useful gh.el. When you first use it, the extension saves either your password or an OAuth token in your .</description>

<description>Zotero is an Open Source tool that lets you organise your bibliography, syncing it with the cloud. Unlike other alternatives such as Mendeley, Zotero can upload the attachments and data to a private cloud via WebDav.
If you use nginx as your web server, know that even though it provides partial support for webdav, Zotero needs more than that.</description>

<title>Proxies with Apache and python</title>

<description>&lt;p&gt;This is a quick note on proxying a local python application (e.g. flask)
to a subdirectory in Apache. This assumes that the file wsgi.py contains
a WSGI application with the name &lt;em&gt;application&lt;/em&gt;. Hence, wsgi:application.&lt;/p&gt;

<description>Developing a python module and publishing it on Github is cool, but most of the times you want others to download and use it easily. That is the role of PyPi, the python package repository. In this post I show you how to publish your package in less than 10 minutes.</description>

<description>As part of the OpeNER hackathon we decided to build a prototype that would allow us to compare how different countries feel about several topics. We used the OpeNER pipeline to get the sentiment from a set of newspaper articles we gathered from media in several languages. Then we aggregated those articles by category and country (using the source of the article or the language it was written in), obtaining the &amp;ldquo;overall feeling&amp;rdquo; of each country about each topic.</description>

<description>I&amp;rsquo;ve finally decided to set up a decent personal page. I have settled for github-pages because I like the idea of keeping my site in a repository and having someone else host and deploy it for me. The site will be really simple, mostly static files. Thanks to Github, Jekyll will automatically generate static pages for my posts every time I commit anything new to this repository.</description>
