> How is how inputs gets routed to the right window

It is covered for both X11 and Wayland. I just don't get into the particular decisions and details of how each WM/DE picks what they deem the current focused window, since it varies widely and it's more part of window management than of input management (I've written a WM and it's a bit messy). An article on WM/Compositor development would be more appropriate for that, I have a few already on my blog.

We also setup our own off-grid solar system, almost 4 years ago now. The cost was much lower due to lower import fees and lack of regulations where I live, it was altogether somewhere between $3-4k total, for 16 panels, mounting rack, inverter (with backup inverter), mptt, 12 acid-lead batteries, etc.. We saved so much money, and fewer headaches, since state electricity only came around 5-6h a day and people relied on scammy-mafia generator providers that ask for insane prices.

Most of the open source tools need patching to properly support certain scenarios (been there done that). They also lack support for parsing ASN.1 Value Notation format (textual), which is used everywhere in specifications, OSS Nokalva offers the full set of tools to handle this even with a playground and ASN.1 editor, this is non-existent in open source right now. For now the open source tools only focus on the crypto aspect, and doesn't really dive into telco, banking, biometric, and others.

In the ASN.1 space everyone hopes that someone can dethrone OSS Nokalva's proprietary solutions

https://venam.nixers.net and nixers.net I have two main feeds, one is about Unix, really deep articles. And I got usual life stuff and philosophy-related articles. I always try to take new perspectives when I write. The second link is to the nixers community.
