Before you Begin This is for Local area network (LAN) sharing only, so you have to make sure you are connected to the same network. For networking reasons that are beyond my pay level, if one computer is connected to the ethernet cable in the same LAN and the other is on the wifi network, this won’t work. Both have…

Connecting Nymea to Zone Minder for a Quick Video Surveillance System
Lately, I have been quickly progressing on my journey to try to use nymea in my home and other places. You can read about how I set up Nymea on an ubuntu USB drive with persistency here if you want to do it too. Shortly after setting it up and getting it working with a few standard IoT devices, I…
Nymea Journey 3 – Making Some Stuff Work Without Smart Hardware
Not sure if you’re like me, but I like to try out some quick tests of a new system before I start buying hardware. My plan for the Nymea journey is first figure out how how to install it (covered here), then figure out how to be able to use it a bit before committing to server (covered here), then…
My Journey to Nymea (land)
Edit: Feb 6, 2023 – Nymea has recently launched version 1.6 which appears to have added / adjusted at least some of my ‘positive criticism’ comments below so some may no longer be relevant. Further, be advised always to go to the official nymea.io documentation for the latest and greatest instructions. My stuff is just to go alongside with it.…
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.

Log notes from my MTP android ubuntu learning day
Before you read this. Big disclaimer. This post is written in super crappy style and is nothing more than my personal notes as I tried to figure out MTP. The only reason I’m even putting this post online is because a few of the things I learned below seem like they will be relevant for future ubuntu touch / android…
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…
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. This is pretty technical, but is probably the only way (for now) to do this. Special thanks to Amolith who forwarded…
