Over the last few years, I have been reading the series “Linkdump” by Dirk Deimeke on his blog. I enjoy his collection very much and already started publishing something similar in 2020.
I use chezmoi for my dotfiles. To find out why and how to get started, check out my talk from Chemnitz Linux Days 2025.
Within chezmoi, you can use the file .chezmoiexternal.toml to download archives or git repositories during updates. This is particularly useful for managing external dependencies. Let me walk you through some common use cases.
I attended Chemnitz Linux Days 2025 from Friday, March 21st to Sunday, March 23rd. It was my second time at the event, and I enjoyed it even more than last year. This time, approximately 3,500 people attended in person, with up to 250 parallel viewers joining the live streaming of lectures. You can find more details in the official blog post.
