    How curious. Are you doing a play?

    You might have to DIY one if you don’t want an old one. Certainly there are websites you could upload a PDF to that would print for you.

    I think the boxes made sense when they were for sale in a brick n mortar store because they are harder to steal and make the person feel like they are buying something when digital goods weren’t such an instinctive idea. I doubt they would be shipped because they are big for no reason and would require a lot of packaging to keep from getting wrecked in transit vs a USB key in a bubble envelope.

    To buy linux in a box, you would have to find somewhere near you that is selling it in person. A computer store, a book store. Maybe a campus bookstore? They have a captive audience so sometimes can get away with stuff that doesn’t otherwise make business sense.

    There is a keyboard shortcut to reload the config. I don’t remember what the default is. On the kitty website, go to the page about kitty.conf and ctrl-f reload or refresh.

    To check that the config is really reloading, make an edit to the section about theme, tab style, etc.

    There is a way to output the actual config as used so you can look for your settings.

    If you call kitty from the command line you can optionally use an argument to specify a config file. Iirc it is --config but verify in docs.

    What is the location of the config file you are editing?

    Post the section of the config file that isn’t working?

    Try moving the section you are editing to the very bottom of the file to ensure it isn’t getting over rided later on.

    I have considered dling via yt to make use of sponsor block as you suggest. Does it work?

    Podcasts are extremely neglected in this general area. Few torrents exist. They are at high risk of disappearing off the internet forever because they cost a lot to keep hosted while producing zero revenue. Archiving is not happening as far as I know.

    Add removal would be great. TIP if you use a VPN you might gets ads targeted to that country. Which in some cases is actually no ads. Hop around and see if you can kind the right one. It’ll be different per distributor.
