There are a few pitfalls worth noting when using Ansible when the remote is

basically no-one uses Arch remote with Ansible. But hey, I like it, so

Currently, using a rootless Docker on Arch can reasonable be divided into
two approaches: stability and performance. With the stability, the choice
is a LTS kernel and a fuse-overlayfs storage driver, while under
performance a latest stable kernel is used alongside the latest wid…
Both YubiKey and GnuPG are able to do many things. The difference one might

neither of them particularly well,

handles tasks it is able to perform, both tools had became a…
I have already written how
useful a tool git filter-repo is
for cleaning repositories. I made some extensive use of the newfound
knowledge since to undo some previous bad decisions in my private
repositories.
Here's a list of commands for merging project-a into project-b for a

Sometimes I find myself in the need to take a look at the executable files
available in the current project directory, choose a suitable one and run

There is a common saying around version control systems stating the
following:
Do not rewrite the history.
And it is pretty solid saying to be fair, supported at many threads, for
instance at FS#45425 or elsewhere.
You simply have to assume that once you pushed something into t…
