Today I learnt that Arch Linux has a paccache.timer built-in service. This service (you can enable it from systemctl) ensures your package cache doesn't grow excessively.
Really handy, though I wonder why it isn't enabled by default.

I've started using DNSControl for configuring DNS for my personal domains and it's been delightful. Declarative DNS!

Tragically not all power adapters get this right, even for name brands. My ability to get the cable right first time still isn't much better than 50%!
