SETTING UP STALWART WITH PODMAN AND QUADLET
SECTION 1 – BACKGROUND This document comes from my many attempts to make this work with podman-compose setup. I got it working and hope to document those details at a later date. I had to give up on that because when I exited the ssh session it would kill the server. I found this reddit post which made me conclude…
How to Get Set Up For Audio Only Audiocasting with OBS
Of course I don’t use the word ‘podcast’ because its roots are associated with a large company that hasn’t done a lot of good for freedom in software (or hardware). So, you will read ‘audiocast’ and you’ll know what it means. The purpose of this post is to give you an open source and audio-only setup for recording, while also…

Zone Minder – My Re-Visiting Journey
Way back in about 2009 or 2010 I remember my buddy installed something called zone minder on an old computer I had and with a few web cams, somehow or another I was able to monitor my coffee shop from home. It was pretty amazing and cool and free and open source. Fast forward to twenty-twenty-something, I was messing around…

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.

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…
