ARM Libvirt/KVM virtualization (8)

-

For 32-bit ARM, whether you want an old school or UEFI virtual machine in Libvirt/KVM, and automated or ‘manual’ creation, here there are docs.

Hugo: Ignore a line with markdownlint

-

When using markdownlint-cli/markdownlint-cli2 or the vscode-markdownlint extension for VSCode, one may wish to ignore a particular line. Here is a cheap way to do that using a shortcode.

VSCode Multipass instance creation

-

Daniel uses Multipass rather than VSCode devcontainers, since he has some Windows machines with no Hyper-V so can’t run Docker Desktop, which devcontainers on Windows require.

Two-repo Netlify technique for module CI

-

Having a demo/test site embedded in a Hugo module causes large bandwidth consumption during its normal use as a module. We split the site and module into separate git repos, but keep a deploy as part of the CI process.

Infrastructure via Code (IvC) (12)

-

Learning experiments in using bespoke code & data under version control to consistently deploy virtual and bare metal hosts and the applications on them.

Hugo static site generation (9)

-

Developing statically-served websites based on Hugo and common web languages (e.g. HTML, CSS—vanilla or using SASS and/or a framework, JavaScript—vanilla or using a framework)

ARM development (14)

-

Developing for software and firmware ARM-based hardware

A font for all ages

-

Especially if you are older, have dirty or inadequate glasses, are just tired, or are using a small screen, you may find websites use an excessively small font.

VSCode Multipass instance creation

-

Daniel uses Multipass rather than VSCode devcontainers, since he has some Windows machines with no Hyper-V so can’t run Docker Desktop, which devcontainers on Windows require.
