Github Self Hosted Runner Provisioning

This is the script that I use to provision Github's self hosted runners for my usecase. You may have to make modifications to it to fit your usecase. The script expects to run as root and expects a non-root "administrator" account for the system.

The goal of the provisioning is to bring this setup as close to the real thing as possible. You may have to make some modifications to your github actions config to make the most out of this. Most important of which would be the removal of setup buildx action.

OLED Brightness Daemon

I'm using this for my Razer Blade 17 Pro 2020 to keep the brightness slider in Ubuntu GNOME up to date with the actual brightness of the display.

It's not pretty but it works. Remember to add this to your startup (gnome-session-properties).
