When writing blog posts from WSL on my work machine it’s easy to mix up personal and work git user settings. For instance I have pushed a couple of commits (and “doxxed” myself) on this blog a time or two.
Don’t worry though, I have rewritten history using LazyGit’s awesome functionality to change the author back to my personal credentials.
Anyway, I found this guide to set up separate .gitconfig files for work and play: GitGuardian
I was recently asked to sit in on some interviews at work, and as part of my prep I looked through our job postings. We have quite a few out right now and a couple of them caught my eye. In fact, when I read the description of what kind of experience they are looking for, it was almost a perfect match for my background. The work seems really interesting as well, so I felt I had no choice but to apply.
So it finally happened, my managed work laptop was updated to Windows 11.
I don’t like it, but what else is new? I’m forced to have the taskbar/dock thing on the bottom of the screen, but I’m used to having it to the left. I know you can use some registry hack to move it, but I’m not going to do that. For now …
What I really should have done is ask for a Linux machine instead.
Today I wanted to connect an external monitor to my Linux laptop. (I use Arch, btw.)
I added the necessary configuration to my hyprland.config and plugged in the HDMI cable (it’s an old monitor), the screen woke up and the backlight went on, but it stayed black.
Nothing happened on screen, even though Hyprland obviously recognized the monitor and sent one of my workspaces there.
Something very strange was happening.
