Improve Fonts

Newest

Make your Arch fonts beautiful easily! This is what I do when I install Arch Linux to improve the fonts.

You may consider the following settings to improve your fonts for system-wide usage without installing a patched font library packages (eg. Infinality):

Install some fonts, for example:
sudo pacman -S ttf-dejavu ttf-liberation noto-fonts

Quick zandronum-server on DigitalOcean setup with a dash of security

The intent is to quickly spin up a server, use it for a time, and then kill it. The reason for this is that there's no reason to persist a server that will simply cost money and dare people to attempt to hack it. :)

This does necessitate a DigitalOcean account and there will be some minor cost associated with this process, which depends on the tier of performance you configure. I've had luck with the $10/mo dual processor tier. We don't need any other bells and whistles like backups or IPV6 or anything. Keep it simple.

Initial droplet configuration

1. Sign up for a DO account if you don't have one already
2. Create a new droplet - select Ubuntu 20.04 (or latest stable) and go for the $10/month option. Anything else is likely overkill.
