Checking my RSS reader recently I came across David Bushells "App Defaults 2026" blog post , where he gives an overview of his current software tooling. I do enjoy learning about other peoples setups, especially when they are using tools diverging from the usual popular choices. So I decided to start off my blog this year (it's about time!) with a similar post. Enjoy! OS: Arch Linux Arch Linux has…
For quiet some time now tmux has become one of my day-to-day core tools. With time I also adopted and refined a set of tmux windows I create everyday to keep my tools sorted (like a window for timetracking for example). So why create these windows everytime I start tmux? There should be a way to configure these once, right? And actually there is a pretty simple way. So simple even that it made me…

tl;dr: Use absolute paths for mounted folders in Quadlets! There are a couple of reasons why I choose Podman to run containers on my machines. One of them is the possiblity to run rootless containers, which eliminate the need to fiddle around with root accounts or giving your user account unnecessary permission to run them (as docker needs for example). One caveat which comes with using Podman…

A rare use case for em units text-decoration-offset is a good use case for em units. Most of the time we favor rems over ems, but in this case we want the text underline offset to proportionally scale with the `font-size` property.

This morning I booted my work laptop, only to be greeted by the error mentioned in the title. Being thrown into an emergency shell is not my prefered way to start my work day, but it is what it is and being a Linux user, I at least have tools ready to use to tackle such a problem. It was not the first time that I encountered that problem. As far as I remember I always updated either the Linux…
Most of the time I am working on my desk, using my stationary keyboard. But once in a while, and especially during summer time, I like to take my work laptop and sit outside, enjoying the weather while doing some work. In these moments, the internal keyboard of my Thinkpad P14s drove me nuts. Its Meta and left Alt keys are swapped compared to the keyboard on my desk, which often resulted in a…
As a frontend developer, the browser devtools are an essential tool working on websites and webapps. For me they are basically always open in every browser I am developing and testing.

A thought so obvious that it is nearly embarassing, but maybe something which…

After thinking about it for quiet some time I decided that now the time has come again to start a blog.

Until now I had a mixture of bookmarks and notes in either some app or in my beloved travelers notebook, but…
