What is this even for? This is a follow up to my How to get started with reticulum on an Ubuntu machine article, after getting everything going and chatting with myself and my guinea pig mom in my own home network… it was time to see if I could do the same through the world webs… but it was harder…

HOW TO GET STARTED WITH RETICULUM ON UBUNTU MACHINE
What is this all about? I discovered Reticulum and wanted to simply quickly test it with two laptops (to start) to get a quick feel. I decided I would also use the Sideband app as the GUI interface for it because it works on Android and I assumed that would be my second test. I based this tutorial on the…
SETTING UP OLLAMA ON AN UBUNTU MACHINE
This tutorial is an ubuntu (vanilla) version of this excellent ollama blog. Following this blog wasn’t so easy for me because it assumed a bunch of dependencies that I didn’t have on my ubuntu machine. The blog doesn’t really say clearly that you need pip and venv installed on the local machine in order to make this blog work smoothly.…
Getting a Fresh Start by Backing up, Re-installing, Then Restoring What you Need on Ubuntu
It was hard to make a good title with proper English on this one because I wasn’t sure how to exactly describe what I’m doing here. Hopefully you located this blog ok and are trying to do the same thing I am. The Goal of This Exercise Every computer needs a new operating system ‘refresh’ at some point because of…
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…
Doing a Direct-to-Local MYSQL Dump
One of the most valuable things I learned in my ‘my-server-has-run-out-of-memory’ crisis was that I can dump my database directly to my local machine without having to first save it to the server and then download it from there. It is surprising that it took me well over 5 years to find it but what a gem for every person…

How to share files on your Ubuntu Touch device with your LAN network
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…
HOW TO MOVE FILES FROM ONE UBUNTU MACHINE TO ANOTHER (USING HTTP SERVER)
For some reason this was hard to find clear instructions for. I found a bunch of stack exchange articles but syntax and other things made it harder than it should have been. Once I actually got it working it was nice and simple and a good life skill… Objective Be able to move files from one ubuntu machine to another…
