This is the main tutorial I followed to install Yunohost (“YH” for rest of blog) on a Digital Ocean (“DO” for rest of blog) droplet, and this blog is basically my expansion notes to go with it to help myself and others who might need.

Installing Signature PDF in Yunohost
Signature PDF is great. It allows you to do basic PDF annotations and digital signatures on said PDFS. It’s not quite a full ‘suite’ yet like Docusign and Sign Request, it seems to be only in French right now (it’s easy to figure out graphically) however, it’s pretty amazing for quick sign-offs. You can save your vectored signature (create it…
Installing Send in Yunohost
Send is super cool. Not only is it one of the quickest, most simple and intuitive interfaces for sending large files that I’ve ever seen, but it also apparently integrates with ‘filelink’ in Thunderbird which I’ve always been tempted to try. Now that I see it’s a one-click install in YH, I wanted to go for it on my own.…
Installing CryptPad in Yunohost
Cryptpad is an amazing opensource software suite. You can share real-time spreadsheets, text documents and other stuff.

EDIT DEC 14, 2022: It seems I might have missed an important piece of understanding about DKIM. I am currently working on this. If you see this message, my new understanding is this: DKIM is handled on the email server Therefore, if you are not running an email server and using a 3rd party ESP, then the DKIM private key…
How to Fix an App Stuck Between Screens in Ubuntu
I had a weird situation today. I have two monitor displays: a laptop monitor on my desk and a big monitor above that. They are joined logically in that way in the display settings of ubuntu. Suddenly my Telegram app got ‘stuck’ between the two. The top toolbar that you grab with your mouse was unable to be accessed because…
How to do DMARC, SPF and BIMI settings (and other stuff) in Digital Ocean DNS settings
SECOND EDIT: DEC 12, 2022 FIRST EDIT DATE: Sept 1, 2022 I had a hard time with this one for some reason. My email provider (Webnames) has an email setup page which showed the SPF records without quotations. Even their tech support told me not to use quotations in the txt file entries in my server! I guess they hadn’t…
