Look, I just installed Omarchy on my laptop. Fresh. And yeah, it's amazing out of the box, but let's be honest - you're going to want your own tools. This isn't a generic tutorial. This is what I actually did to get from "nice Linux desktop" to "ready to work."

What is Omarchy, really?

DHH made it. The Ruby on Rails guy. He got fed up with Apple's App Store nonsense and decided to build his own Linux distribution. Not just scripts - a full operating system that looks nothing like the desktop environments you're used to.

This guide shows how to configure multiple subdomains for your GitLab instance, with automatic redirects and SSL certificates. You will end up with both gitlab.example.com and git.example.com working, with the latter redirecting to the former.

Look, most people finish work and that's it. Me? I close my laptop at Novicell here in Aarhus and open it again for SAHO after spending a good time with my family. Been doing this for a good few months in order to catch up on technical debt accrued over the years and on upgrades done while I had disconnected from the project.

This weekend, I shared a small update about my homelab and gaming setup - just a calm note on keeping things running, from Portainer to Prometheus. But I ended that post with a quiet goodbye to PayPal. And a few people reached out asking: “Why?”

Here is a bit more.

At Novicell, my work often involves building and managing robust Drupal solutions, requiring seamless coordination across backend logic, data handling, and testing. GitHub Copilot has become a vital assistant in supporting the entire development stack, making complex tasks more approachable and enabling me to deliver higher-quality code faster.

Upgrading your system can be exciting, but it sometimes brings along unexpected challenges. Recently, after upgrading my Lenovo T14s from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04, I faced a frustrating issue—my audio completely stopped working. Both the internal speakers and any connected headsets weren’t being detected, leaving me with only a "Dummy Output" for audio.

You have encountered a situation where something else is already using port 80 on your system, and it turns out Apache is the culprit. This is a common scenario for developers working with local servers, and fortunately, there are several ways to resolve this conflict depending on your needs.

Why is this happening?

The output you’re seeing indicates that the Apache web server is currently listening on port 80. This typically happens if you have Apache installed and running on your system, which automatically binds to port 80 by default—the standard port for HTTP traffic.

So, you’ve got your shiny Windows 11 setup with WSL, and you’re loving the Linux vibes on your gaming rig. But now you need a proper editor that’s as powerful as it is flexible. Enter Visual Studio Code, the editor that’ll make you forget about those bulky IDEs. Let’s get it installed and ready to rock your WSL environment.

Coming from an Ubuntu Linux background, I’m all about that streamlined development environment, but let's be real - sometimes you need to game, listen to music, and hop on a few meetings without juggling multiple devices. Enter the gaming PC: a powerhouse that lets me keep work and play separate. But don’t worry, Linux still has a seat at the table.
