I recently got a new laptop, (well — not new, but new to me), a HP ZBook 15 G5. After installing Arch Linux and the i3 wm I spend some time setting up power management, suspend on idle, and figuring out the state of the battery.

I’ve set up a local Arch repository, a dynamic reverse proxy cache using nginx — and a local “build server” for AUR packages, using aurutils.

Here is how, and why 👇

I’ve been looking for a reasonably priced DAC for a while. I’m not an audiophile — but I do enjoy high quality, clear and true audio.

Yesterday I received the Topping E30 DAC — which, according to Passion for Sound offers “Amazing Value & Performance!” 😃

I recently had a couple of 2 TB drives to spare, and thought I would put them to good use as a ZFS mirror on my Arch Linux desktop.
