Size matters, but … resolution and image quality are as import.
Since I was diagnosed with diabetes I have eyes issues things are getting better recently but I still needs glasses for reading etc.
My “no smoking” Piggy Bank was fat enough for some “eye candy”. I bought a Dell UltraSharp U2713HM a 27 inch WQHD (2560x1440) IPS display.
Compared to the others screens I used to work with the image quality is amazing and the higher resolution give so much more space.
I use KVM and cloud-init to provision virtual machines on my home network. I migrated all my services to Raspberry PIs running GNU/Linux and FreeBSD to save power.
I first wanted to use terraform, but the libvirt terraform provider wasn’t compatible with arm64 (at least at that time).
So I started to create a few ansible roles to provision the virtual machines.
delegated_vm_install is a wrapper around these roles to provission the virtual machine in a delegated way. It allows you to specify the Linux/libvirt KVM host as part of the virtual machine definition.
Have fun!
I use ArchLinux on my desktop workstation. For the root filesystem, I use btrfs with luks disk encryption and wrote a blog post about it.

My important data is on OpenZFS.
I’ll migrate my desktop to ArchLinux with OpenZFS in RAIDZ configuration as the root filesystem.
To make installation easier I decide to create a custom ArchLinux boot image with linux-lts and OpenZFS support.
You’ll find my journey to create the boot iso below. All action are execute on a ArchLinux host system (already using OpenZFS)
