Disclaimer: As always, my blogs are not supposed to be a well-written piece of technical literature but instead a better-than-crap version of a messy notepad. I hope it’s clear enough to help someone other than myself but I always check them to make sure at least I can understand it, ha. It seems that there is a nice blog written…

Fixing My Dead Nextcloudpi box in three simple steps
My nextcloudpi box was kicking back errors and wouldn’t start. It was in a degraded state. I then learned about systemctl –failed command which showed something wrong with certbot.

Advanced PDF Printing on Ubuntu
I travelled down a road that failed, but I learned some cool things about printing to PDF on Ubuntu that I think are worth logging and sharing for others. 1.

RECOVERING FILES USING SCALPEL AND UBUNTU
“Ooops. I deleted my photos” I used foremost in this blog to try to recover deleted mp4 video files (for my sister) using ubuntu and the software called Foremost, but it wouldn’t find the video files.

How to set up Gitlab with Ubuntu Touch 2FA Manager App
I had been using Ubuntu Touch Authenticator app, but I wanted to try out the 2FA Manager app to see how that worked for me. The only problem was that I had never reset my 2FA stuff that I originally set up so this was my first time switching devices. It was easy, but it was also not documented. I…
Installing Prestashop on Digital Ocean Ubuntu Server
Setting up Prestashop on an ubuntu server is doable and Digital Ocean makes it pretty painless. The background to this post is that I had a sudden need to ‘figure out shopping carts’.

Flashing Ubuntu Touch to your Pinephone’s EMMC memory
You might have already read my first round of ‘flashing 101’ when I successfully flashed Ubuntu Touch to and SD card making it possible to boot the Pinephone that way with Ubuntu Touch. That first blog is a bit more messy because I was learning so in fact, this post here might also help you with flashing to an SD…
How to do an Ubuntu Touch Video Screen Cast Recording
Making a video screen cast of your Ubuntu Touch (“UT”) device is a bit difficult as of the date of this blog post, however, thankfully, there is a way to do it with a bunch of scary terminal commands.
