Two weeks ago I published the article 'Monitors and Workspaces'.I want to take this a step further and enable switching between dual and single monitor setup while preserving the workspaces.

Last week someone played flashlight hide-and-seek in my car and left with my laptop. Yes, I know: leaving it there was dumb. But stupidity doesn’t grant anyone permission to smash a window and go shopping. Anyway, the machine was gone.

Omarchy happily grabbed an IP address after the Debian-to-Omarchy switch, but DNS queries skipped my Pi-hole and went straight to the public internet. In my case, the split-DNS setup for my homelab did no longer work either.

Ik zag laatst op het toegangshek van een huis de volgende tekst: "Dit terrein wordt 24 uur per dag bewaakt!"

git runs fine with the default config. Still, when using it often, you'll find yourself repeating the same commands again and again. Here are my shortcuts.

I ran sudo pacman -Syu to bring Omarchy up to date. After rebooting, Hyprland refused to start: after logging in I saw a Dell logo and then was stuck on a black screen. How did I fix it?

While tweaking and configuring my system, I discovered that Omarchy misses a few utilities that are essential; at least, for me.

The text editor that ships with Omarchy is Typora. That is a paid program. Replace it by a free one.

Omarchy ships with a default monitor layout that may work for you, but in my case I needed to adjust it. And its default workspace behaviour does not feel intuitive at all. Here's how I changed it.

Chromium ships with Omarchy, but it is not the browser I want to live in day-to-day. Swapping it for Firefox is the first thing on my list.
