Getting a Fresh Start by Backing up, Re-installing, Then Restoring What you Need on Ubuntu
It was hard to make a good title with proper English on this one because I wasn’t sure how to exactly describe what I’m doing here.

How to Fix PDF Engine Error Problem in Pandoc in Ubuntu
Intro All I wanted to do was to convert a markdown (.md) file to pdf for crying out loud. I heard it was possible and good to use pandoc. For years I ran the command I was supposed to.

SETTING UP STALWART WITH PODMAN AND QUADLET
SECTION 1 – BACKGROUND This document comes from my many attempts to make this work with podman-compose setup. I got it working and hope to document those details at a later date.

How to Get Set Up For Audio Only Audiocasting with OBS
Of course I don’t use the word ‘podcast’ because its roots are associated with a large company that hasn’t done a lot of good for freedom in software (or hardware). So, you will read ‘audiocast’ and you’ll know what it means. The purpose of this post is to give you an open source and audio-only setup for recording, while also…
