I'm many things. Here's perhaps a few worth knowing.

I'm:

  • an M.A. in #Philosophy
  • a teacher, mostly #teaching #academic #writing
  • a committed #FOSS user
  • a #Fediverse enthusiast

If you're into Mastodon, you can also find me @UdeRecife@firefish.social.

  • Several options:

    • Master PDF Editor, version 4 is free (and in AUR);
    • PDF Arranger, good for bulk edits;
    • jPdfTweak, a veritable swiss knife of PDF editing;
    • jPDFBookmarks, the best for editing bookmarks;
    • Briss, for bulk cutting PDFs;
    • Krop, also for cutting, but less flexible.







  • For arch Linux, there's Topgrade. All there, in just one command. All. There. Official repos, AUR, even firmware upgrades.

    Here's my alias to update the whole system. It includes fetching the fastest mirrors, topgrade, and cleaning the update's packages cache. Tailor it to your own needs.

    alias update='sudo fetchmirrors -q -s 5 -v -c PT && yes | topgrade -c -y --no-retry --disable gem --disable vim --disable emacs --disable gem --disable sdkman --disable rustup --disable cargo --disable remotes && sudo paccache -rk 0'
