By now, I have more than one Raspberry Pi installed at home. Most of the time I do not want to care about them because they simply serve as a one-time setup, similar to my router. After I have configured everything to my needs, I just expect it to work. I do want to worry about updates or upgrades. I simply want everything to be up to date, all the time.

Every then and when I try to see if it might be possible to get some support for languages in Vim that I would normally us a professional IDE for.

While maven works out of the box you might have to tweak scaladoc when using SBT. Here’s what you have to do.

For some days now I had to read a lot of log files. For better visual filtering I did some research and found some promising tools. But after some fiddling around, none of them could fit my needs. Either they were buggy in some way, too limited or added too much overload. And in the end I needed something portable, anyway.

So, finally I decided to go unstable with Debian. After switching from the rock solid (but partly old) stable to testing, I can only say that it works very well. Admittedly, you should do regular backups and updates. And if you do not update for months, then you might run into problems because a lot will have changed and you will have to do updates in chunks.
