-Hey there! This is my first post about archery, so I thought that I could have done a tour of my setup. As I wrote in the about page, I’m a Olmpic recurve archer based in Italy. I do this for almost five years! If you don’t understand everything I say, you can check out the youtube channel Nusensei. It’s a very good source, especially for beginners.

Ok, the setup. I own a Fiberbow 5.99 LH (yes, I’m left handed) as my riser, the central part of the bow. It’s made by carbon fiber so it’s very lightweight. And is not painted too: It looks kinda cool. Many experienced archers could complain saying that carbon fiber bends and this is a bad thing. Instead, I think this gives you a nice feedback when you release. Also I tried to raise a friend’s Hoyt Prodigy XT, and there’s no way I’m going to lift such a weight on a regular base. Both the risers mentioned are high-range ones: I got mine 50% off because it wasn’t the latest model and it had some minor ahestetic flaws. Also, this isn’t my first one. In fact, I used to shoot with an Orange SF Premium: great bow for beginners!
As limbs, I use a pair of EXE College rated at 34 pounds. Since I’m quite tall (limbs and riser toghether make a 70” tall bow), my draw length is around 29.5” and my draw weight is around 38 pounds.
- -The sight is a Shibuya Dual Click. You can check out this review by Nusensei (by the way, I knew his channel from this very video).
- -As stabilizers, I use a set of Fiberbow S.3 ones with yellow dampeners (for those who know the difference between the colours).
- -As plunger button, I use a EXE one. It’s a middle range one, but it seems very well built and it works fine! Also, I’m not going to spend 90€ for a Cartel one.
My current arrows are a set of Easton X7 Eclipse spined at 2213. These are winter alluminium arrows, but since they are cheaper than carbon ones, I bought these as a total replacement of my VAP V6 600. Those, due to form flaws, were 2 inches too short. Oh, and I always used Spin Wings and Elivanes, a stiffer plastic italian replacement.

+My name is Claudio Maggioni and I am both an Arch Linux user and an recurve archer. I define myself an “archer archer”. This site will collect my own occasional thoughts about the two worlds, hoping someone will found them useful.
- -If you are curious about the code i produce my personal Github account is here. This particular site is made with jekyll and hosted by Github pages, as you can see.
- -PRO tip: try performing a Konami code in the home page (for phones slide up, slide up, slide down, slide down, slide left, slide right, slide left, slide right, tap, tap; made with this)…

+As usual, i’ve searched help in the ArchWiki, founding this article. With that, i’ve succesfully reconnected my Bluetooth keyboard using the bluetoothctl utility. The next step was configuring the service for auto connection during boot. I’ve created the btkbd.conf and the btkbd.service files, enabling the last one with systemd. Let’s give a look to the service file:

Line 13 enables the Bluetooth dongle, and line 16 connects it to the keyboard we gave the mac address in /etc/btkbd.conf. This should work flawlessly, right? Of course it doesn’t. The service starts before the dbus-org.bluez.service is loaded and fails. However, if the service is started manually after login the Bluetooth keyboard works. After hours of trying figuring out what was wrong I’ve almost asked for a return on Amazon! The last attempt I made was with sddm disabled and involved built from scratch service:

This incredibly worked. I think the problem was that multi-user.target that needs to be reached earlier than bluetooth.target. I got rid of all the tidiness of the ArchWiki solution just to be sure that was not the problem, but I think you can use all of that just correcting WantedBy=. Currently I haven’t an ArchWiki account nor a forum one, but as soon as I’ll register I’ll correct the article.

+The method that I’ll show will lock any rm command runned in both recursive and force mode, so rm -rf, rm -f -r and rm -r --force are all blocked, even if they are launched by sudo. I’m going to alias the rm command in /etc/profile /etc/bash.bashrc and in /etc/zsh/zshrc (I’m a zsh user) so that the rickroll will be possible from all users, even root and the ones with a brand new bashrc or zshrc. Here is the code I appended to those files:
alias rm=/bin/rmAlias
-alias sudo='sudo ' # this enables aliases in sudo, see http://askubuntu.com/questions/22037/aliases-not-available-when-using-sudoalias rm=/bin/rmAlias
+alias sudo='sudo ' # this enables aliases in sudo, see http://askubuntu.com/questions/22037/aliases-not-available-when-using-sudoSince alias is not able to control the flags of the aliases (see here), we’re going to redirect each call of rm to /bin/rmAlias, that would run the command if it’s safe. I didn’t use a function because it’s a bit tricky to make that work with sudo. So, let’s see the code I put in rmAlias:

-As you can read from the title, I’m publishing the uncompleted code of my first webapp. I’m working on this since 3 weeks, and I’m proud of what I’ve done so far.

-As you can see, now the css is decent! Now I’m using Skeleton and a couple of custom sass lines that you can check out on Github. Currently, I’m a bit busy with BAM! so I’m not sure I’ll find the time for this. Anyway, enjoy the new look!
