My outlook on how to setup a Linux-based Operating System. The “dotfiles” part of this repository.
Notes on various issues that came up during my work and solutions with applicable tools that help in handling them.
Sysadmin, Linux, virtual infrastructure, tooling, all that jazz.
Everything web development.

This repository serves the purpose of one of my main note-taking solutions. Almost all notes on the tools I use and issues that I encounter are documented here, alongside with multiple lists of valuable external resources.
For a long time, I thought that this notebook would be my designated final note-taking solution that will replace all the others. I was wrong, as handwritten notes are still better in some use-cases, or they serve the purpose of being a buffer containing raw thoughts that are not article-worthy yet.
One field where hand-written notes are better is language learning. Freedom of an open non-linear infinite physical space to save pen strokes is very important to me.
A Markdown-based repository is the successor of my previous note-taking solution, which was OneNote. I have since abandoned OneNote for a few simple, but compelling reasons:
- I’ve switched to Linux full-time as my main OS which leaves me with a very underwhelming browser app and no desktop program for note-taking,
- OneNote is Microsoft’s proprietary technology with poor exporting tools,
- general very slow performance as per usual with Microsoft software.
For handwritten notes I use Nebo on my iPad. It has excellent set of features amongst which the handwriting recognition feature is most appealing to me, as one can search through a notebook contents like it was written using a keyboard.
A Markdown-based solution is better because it involves just normal text documents — basic, but in most cases sufficient.
After the switch the only thing I was missing, was the ability to write down mathematical expressions.
So, the solution that enabled maths in Markdown was
Because Markdown is very loosely defined, it is not uncommon
in the Markdown world to add various features that were not
intended to be added by the original creator.
For example Pandoc, a powerful markup conversion tool,
allows for
For editing Markdown documents I use VS Code with the
Markdown All-in-one extension.
This enables me to see my documents in both their raw and rendered out forms,
as this extension adds a Markdown preview tab that understands
As mentioned above, Pandoc allows for
For presenting my Markdown-based notebook repositories I’m using a GH Action
I created that uses Pandoc to render Markdown documents into HTML documents.
Apart from Pandoc it also uses Pandoc-KaTeX
— a Rust package that renders static HTML pages, instead of leaving
raw expressions and letting the client browser render the
Both of my notebooks (personal notebook and academic notebook) are rendered into websites using VYROW — my GH Action.

When it comes to graph drawing or any type of graphical figures it can be done with OneNote, GIMP, any other graphical program or e.g. a note-taking app on a tablet.
An alternative would be to use code blocks.
Characters such as \, |, /, _, <, >, ／, ＼, ＿, ー, 「, 」, ＜, and ＞
all can be used as strokes while regular Latin alphabet characters as e.g. graph nodes.
