Edit: 251222 : Turns out Chep has mandatory appointment pickups! This significantly increases costs, especially small orders to you. See What is this all about? I’ve worked in various warehouses, on various levels and have always seen the back-breakingly heavy and (probably) brand-specific pantone blue colour around the warehouse. I hate moving them, but I like their strength, consistency and…

Facepalm Fix for SSH Permission denied Error on Raspberry Pi
I’m labeling this post for Raspberry Pi (RPI) – because it just happened to happen on an RPI. I suppose it could have been any headless server… It probably happened on an RPI because it’s not a ‘normal’ server and you have to mess around with SD cards and can’t easily copy/paste stuff. Anyways, to make a longer story shorter,…
MOVING A DOMAIN FROM ONE DIGITAL OCEAN ACCOUNT TO ANOTHER
You’d think from the title this would be easy.Think again!The main reason this is harder than I expected is because Digital Ocean will not allow you to add the domain to your Act02 until you have first deleted it completely from Act01. Here is the high level view of what we need to do and then a few details to…

HOW TO RESTORE A MYSQL DATABASE TO UBUNTU SERVER
Why this post? As always I post something when I find that something simple isn’t so simple. Here is the case again. I had done lots of MSQL dumps (for backups) but realized I never had to actually manually recreate one. So then I started and as always, mysql is a bit scary and sometimes counter intuitive. So that’s why…
True Biblical Cosmology is Indeed a Salvation Issue
I was in the Word of God this morning, enjoying the book of Acts and came across an ‘action section’ that I’ve read many times in the past, but this time from a new perspective. We have heard it said among Christians who do and do not believe in Biblical cosmology that “Biblical cosmology is not a salvation issue.” Although…
CONNECTING RETICULUM APP SIDEBAND TO THE GENERAL INTERNET FOR A TEST CHAT CONNECTION
What is this even for? This is a follow up to my How to get started with reticulum on an Ubuntu machine article, after getting everything going and chatting with myself and my guinea pig mom in my own home network… it was time to see if I could do the same through the world webs… but it was harder…
HOW TO GET STARTED WITH RETICULUM ON UBUNTU MACHINE
What is this all about? I discovered Reticulum and wanted to simply quickly test it with two laptops (to start) to get a quick feel. I decided I would also use the Sideband app as the GUI interface for it because it works on Android and I assumed that would be my second test. I based this tutorial on the…
SETTING UP OLLAMA ON AN UBUNTU MACHINE
This tutorial is an ubuntu (vanilla) version of this excellent ollama blog. Following this blog wasn’t so easy for me because it assumed a bunch of dependencies that I didn’t have on my ubuntu machine. The blog doesn’t really say clearly that you need pip and venv installed on the local machine in order to make this blog work smoothly.…

Thanks Daniel for your post. I was able to read it and find the piece I needed in the middle. Here is the…
