2 random truths about me:

1. I tend to wake up quite early: I am an early bird
2. While I (mostly) prefer light mode on the computer I prefer dark mode in real life

What does this have to do with mkinitcpio?

I wake up, there is no sunlight, I do not switch on any lights. I turn on my laptop and my hard disk encryption is greeting me. The problem is the keyboard is completely dark and I tend to hit the wrong keys.

Now I finally fixed it.

No blog entry since 2019 🙈🙈🙈

So let me share something small yet hopefully helpful. Mostly I try to do everything in containers but now I am in a project that uses ansible to deploy software to machines so I thought it might be better to spin up a VM. As it is 2022 I thought I should do it without using VMWare, Virtualbox etc. Instead I wanted to work with libvirt and start a cloud-init capable image to not have to click through some installation process.

In the last weeks I finalized something that might be of interest to more than just me:

Gitlab ACI executor

Since December I am on Linux with my main machine again. I always wanted to do a rant post about the year of the linux desktop but instead I am posting something useful.

Finally managed to get my printer working on Arch Linux and I needed a 2019 blog post anyway.
