Backdrop Right away when diving into Nymea and trying to understand it and also explaining it to others, I found the need for a simple, dedicated Linux distro in my pocket ready to boot up a Nymea server wherever I am.

Code Snippets Busted Broke Crashed Killed My Website
Now this was a bit of a heart-attack time for me so I thought I’d do a quick blog to clarify a few things so that the victim (like me) can more calmly walk through the situation. First, let’s make sure you are in the same situation as me. Checking Situation I had code snippets installed on my Woo commerce…
How to Stick a Github Repository into Yunohost to Test out Bleeding Edge Stuff
From time to time you might need to install (ie. for testing) a non-stable version of software onto Yunohost. In many cases this can be both a scary and complicated process.

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.
