Add notes on my laptop setup
Sneak-remove my itch to disable auto-fill for Markdown titles, since
I'm not sure any mode ever does things like that. While this does not
mean that it could not be done, it does make the endeavor somewhat
non-idiomatic.

+Things I always tweak after installing a Bunsenlabs system.
+
+# Keyboard
+
+Cf. keyboard(5):
+
+- add `ctrl:nocaps` in /etc/default/keyboard
+- run `udevadm trigger --subsystem-match=input --action=change`
+- run `setupcon` in a TTY
+
+# Desktop
+
+## Conky
+
+- changed window type to "desktop" so that W-d does not hide Conky
+- see dotfiles
+
+## ClipIt
+
+- disable hotkeys
+
+## Openbox
+
+### `rc.xml`
+
+- comment A-m and A-r out
+- undecorate all windows:
+
+ ``` xml
+ <application class="*">
+ <decor>no</decor>
+ </application>
+```
+
+### WM preferences
+
+- appearance: uncheck "windows retain a border when undecorated"
+- desktops: 4
+
+## tint2
+
+- remove launcher
+- add date (time2)
+
+## Calendar
+
+Make weeks begin on Monday by using the British locale:
+
+- uncomment `en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8` in /etc/locale.gen
+- `sudo locale-gen`
+- `force_lang = en_GB.utf8` in `~/.config/gsimplecal/config`

+Fonts I find useful, plus messy configuration details.
+
+# Symbola
+
+Symbola seems to cover most characters I care about (although it does
+not handle fancy emoji ligatures), and new versions are released
+fairly soon after each revision of the Unicode standard.
+
+Since distributions may not include the latest version, I often get it
+directly from [the author's website](http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/).
+
+# Installing fonts with Fontconfig
+
+Gee, it sure is convenient to be able to install new fonts simply by
+dropping them in `~/.fonts` and running `fc-cache`!
+
+`/etc/fonts/fonts.conf`:
+
+ <!-- the following element will be removed in the future -->
+ <dir>~/.fonts</dir>
+
+😨
+
+Bunsenlabs symlinks `~/.fonts` to `~/.local/share/fonts`, but this
+path is not mentioned anywhere in `/etc/fonts`. What's the deal?
+
+`/etc/fonts/fonts.conf`:
+
+ <dir prefix="xdg">fonts</dir>
+
+fonts-conf(5):
+
+> ## `<DIR PREFIX="DEFAULT">`
+>
+> This element contains a directory name which will be scanned for
+> font files to include in the set of available fonts. If 'prefix' is
+> set to "xdg", the value in the `XDG_DATA_HOME` environment variable
+> will be added as the path prefix. please see XDG Base Directory
+> Specification for more details.
+
+[XDG Base Directory Specification](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html):
+
+> `$XDG_DATA_HOME` defines the base directory relative to which user
+> specific data files should be stored. If `$XDG_DATA_HOME` is either
+> not set or empty, a default equal to `$HOME`/.local/share should be
+> used.
+
+Seems legit then.

+Here are some things that I do often enough that I want to remember
+how to do them properly, yet rarely enough that I will probably forget

+# Package managers

+## APT
+
+Add deb-src repositories to get:
+
+- `changelog`
+- `build-dep`
+- `source`
+
+# Installing stuff under `$HOME`
+
+E.g. pandoc (compiled from source tarball with stack because there is
+no 32-bit release) and ripgrep:
+
+- programs:
+ - install in `~/.local/bin`
+ - add this folder to `$PATH` (in `.profile` and `.xsessionrc`)
+
+- manpages:
+ - install in `~/.local/share/man/man1`
+ - in `~/.manpath`:
+
+ MANPATH_MAP ~/.local/bin ~/.local/share/man
+
+ - run `mandb --user-db`
+
+- bash completion scripts:
+ - install in `~/.local/share/bash-completion`
+ - in `~/.bash_completion` (sourced by
+ `/usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion`):
+
+ ``` bash
+ for f in ~/.local/share/bash-completion/*
