Arch on Keloran blog and random stuff

Systemd Homed Buildkit

Premise

So I decided to switch my home directory to use systemd-homed, now this is a cool system that works with btrfs and does snapshoting built in, this led to a few issues though

Issue

So because of the way containerd and buildkit use squashfs it can’t submount inside the homed directory

Fix

If you have multiple hdds then this is easier, if not your gonna have to create a directory on your system, doing it where I did it is not a good idea, but I’m not an expert

NerdCTL on ArchLinux

ArchLinux NerdCTL

Arch is a lot like Slackware and Gentoo, whilst it does have a package manager, you have to know what you want before things work

so NerdCTL has the ability to use buildkit to install stuff on multi-arch but that isn’t as easy as you would like and as such there are a few things that need installing to make it work

Steps

This will need YAY (well there are others but if you copy paste then its yay)

Framework Laptop

Framework Laptop

My MBP decided the touchbar and bridgeos was going to basiclly blow up, so because of this I decided it was time I tried to daily drive linux again

I bought a framework laptop with the following specs

i7-1165G7
64Gb DDR4-3200
1TB SN850
US Keyboard
UK PowerSupply
Expansions
- MicroSD
- 250Gb
- DisplayPort
- 2x USB-C
- USB-A

I decided to get the UK powersupply so that my wife could keep using my MBPs for her work laptop and it means that I have a pretty small power supply that can also be used with my soldering iron
