So someone said ‘use bmap tools instead of dd because it’s faster and better’.It sounded good but as usual when I went searching for documentaion on how to simply use this tool I was left in another command line dizziness. You can check their read me file on the git repository here for yourself if you’d like. This blog here…

Flashing Ubuntu Touch onto SD Card for Pinephone Braveheart Installation
EDIT 20/06/19I have done a fairly extensive post about how to use BMAP properly so here is a link to my post. You should probably read this to know that the true benefits of speed from Bmap tools comes from following the instructions in my other blog. Otherwise, you might as well just use ‘dd’ or other flashing techniques. Bmap…

GETTING A QUASAR BUILD RUNNING AS APP ON UBUNTU TOUCH

I should preface that I have never built an Ubuntu Touch app and I’m not even done my Quasar course but there are enough people interested in this so I want to stop everything and try… Quick Overview of Ubuntu Touch Apps…
Getting Started With Quasar and VueJS on Ubuntu
After watching this recommended tutorial I decided to try out this Quasar thing. My true hope is that we can eventually add Ubuntu Touch as one of the buildable outputs at the end of app creation as it apparently might not be that hard with Cordova… but I digress… I’m not an experienced developer yet so getting started with all…
Overcoming Painful Setup for Selenium with Python on Ubuntu
EDIT 191118I realized that I need to execute the script below every time my computer reboots so my current workflow is to leave the command commented out in script and then run it before I begin. You can probably run it with the script too? This one: export PATH=$PATH:/home/user/path/to/browser_drivers_for_automation I had the following continual painfull errors: selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: ‘my_folder_name’ executable…

HOW TO SET UP YUNOHOST WITH YOUR OWN DOMAIN (USING CLOUDFLARE)
EDIT 19/06/12 – made some tweaks to this after realizing a few small errors. Sorry if you followed before June 12 🙁 I really wanted to self-host a kind of ‘family box’ which would allow me to have self-hosted email, Nextcloud, websites, and a few other basic things and not have it running on someone else’s server. During the process…
How to Encrypt a Password Around and Merge Multiple PDFs in Ubuntu
For some reason, this is way harder than it should be. I thought I would be able to find a simple ‘pdf stitcher’ software in the Software Centre and just put them in there, arrange them and then export to PDF – with a password. I think this used to be possible with PDF Sam but anyway. This tutorial will…
