My daily-driver is an Asus X515 laptop running Windows 11. I picked this up a few years back when it was on sale at a good price, knowing it was a little underpowered for my long-term needs.

I use Syncthing to synchronize files between various systems in my extended homelab. There are currently five systems using Syncthing - a primary NAS server and a backup NAS server based in Texas, a laptop running Ubuntu Server 24.04 currently based with me in Ireland (and known as the Blackrock server), my personal Asus laptop running Windows 11, and a Digital Ocean VPS running Ubuntu Server 24.04. (I have a couple of other devices in the Tailnet - my Pixel 6 phone, and the travel Chromecast.)

Here’s how I solved a minor annoyance with my current setup.

I use the vim editor to write these posts, and prefer not to use vim’s automatic line-wrapping. There are times when longer lines are necessary, so I like to manually wrap lines when needed. In blog posts like this, paragraphs are separated by a blank line. To wrap the lines in a single paragraph, use this key sequence: :gq} : opens command mode, gq is the wrap command which must be followed by a movement command. } moves to the next empty line. Put them altogether and the current paragraph is wrapped to the defined line width, which defaults to 80.
