New post: Neovim Crash Course for Sysadmins

Not a beginner's guide. This covers the things you still get wrong after years of Vim - efficient navigation, why your paste lands in the wrong place (and the one-key fix), YAML indentation workflows, quick macros, and what Neovim's LSP actually gives you for infrastructure work.

Written for people who edit configs and playbooks all day.

Linux verbindet: Wir haben für 3 ganze Tage den Bildschirm gegen echte Begegnungen getauscht & gemeinsam in Berlin neue Ideen rund um #Linux, Open Source und digitale Souveränität entwickelt. Vom Hackathron über Workshops zu #Ansible, #Checkmk, Mail & Spam bis zum Abendprogramm inkl. Cocktail-Workshop - die Tage haben wieder gezeigt, wie Arbeit an einem gemeinsamen Ziel verbindet.

Ein großes Dankeschön an das Heinlein-Team und alle, die dabei waren!

Eine Gruppe von fünf Personen in einer hellen, modernen Büroumgebung während einer Besprechung. Eine Frau steht lächelnd am Kopfende eines Holztisches, während vier weitere Personen um den Tisch sitzen, Laptops vor sich haben und aufmerksam zuhören oder miteinander interagieren. Durch große Fenster im Hintergrund fällt natürliches Licht in den Raum.

- switching between #Zig versions, I liked it more than the dedicated anyzig
- #Python venv activation – it's silly but feels so good, and collaborates with uv
- ensuring I have the right language server and formatter for a project, be it #Lua, #TypeScript, and trying out various options for Python
- setting LANG="C.UTF-8" only in the specific project folder because #Ansible refused to work with Polish...

The final boss was getting a really comfortable Tree-sitter setup: get the #Rust CLI, write grammar in #JavaScript, re-generate and run tests on source change as a mise Task. And then I only cloned the repo on another machine and was ready to go!

This post was written as a more cultured outlet for my excitement instead of aggresively committing mise.toml into every repository I touch

inotifywait --monitor --recursive ~/.config

This time it's #Debian with #Docker. I used to avoid containers, preferring to run services directly instead. But setting up backups made me appreciate the separation between the application data in image and persistent state in mounted volumes. The final piece that convinced me is the ability to self-host my own container registry with @forgejo@floss.social

I'm doing the initial setup through #Ansible (learned from @notthebee@tilde.zone), but specific applications are managed via dockge. The ambition to do every adjustment through playbooks burns out really fast when working with a single instance.
