Arch User Repository

Installing yay:

$ mkdir -p "$HOME/projects/builds"
$ git clone "https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git" "$HOME/projects/builds/yay"
$ cd "$HOME/projects/builds/yay"
$ makepkg
$ pacman -U "yay-<version>-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst"

Packages:

yay -S icann-rdap-bin

Brother DCP-1610W

yay -S brother-dcp1610w brscan4
sudo brsaneconfig4 -a name=Brother_DCP-1610W model=DCP-1610W nodename=BRW802BF94B92C3

If necessary, find the nodename using nmap:

nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24

XDG user directories

After creating the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file using a symbolic link, create all directories:

$ xdg-user-dirs-update

Fish

Install the Tide prompt:

$ fisher install "IlanCosman/tide@v6"

Configure the prompt:

$ tide configure

Update the Tide prompt:

$ fisher update "IlanCosman/tide@v6"

/etc/locale.conf

$ cat >/etc/locale.conf << EOF
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_PAPER=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_TIME=fr_FR.UTF-8
EOF

RAM

Zram can easily be configured using zram-generator:

$ echo "[zram0]" >/etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf

By default, /tmp, /var/lock and /var/run are mounted in RAM using tmpfs, therefore there is no need to use zram for those directories.

SSH

Enable ssh-agent:

$ systemctl enable --user ssh-agent.service

Create a new key and add it:

$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519
$ ssh-add "$HOME/.ssh/id_ed25519"

rtkit-daemon

By default, rtkit-daemon tends to flood the system logs with not very useful notifications:

déc. 31 14:16:56 lpt-01 rtkit-daemon[1347]: Supervising 12 threads of 9 processes of 1 users.
déc. 31 14:16:56 lpt-01 rtkit-daemon[1347]: Supervising 12 threads of 9 processes of 1 users.
déc. 31 14:17:00 lpt-01 rtkit-daemon[1347]: Supervising 12 threads of 9 processes of 1 users.
déc. 31 14:17:00 lpt-01 rtkit-daemon[1347]: Supervising 12 threads of 9 processes of 1 users.

This can be fixed by setting a higher log level:

$ sudo mkdir "/etc/systemd/system/rtkit-daemon.service.d"
$ echo "[Service]\nLogLevelMax=4" | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/rtkit-daemon.service.d/log.conf >/dev/null
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl restart rtkit-daemon.service

NetworkManager

To deactivate WiFi when a wired connection is up, have a look at example 15 from man 7 nmcli-examples.

TL; DR: copy and paste a script in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/70-wifi-wired-exclusive.sh and set it executable.
