Many of these were poached from the Arch wiki a few years ago. The exact page seems to have moved, and this gist with recommended aliases is all that I could find today. I believe static and static2 were from the Arch subreddit, but I can’t find those either. If you know the original author, please let me know; I’d be happy to add the source to this post.
