I thought I would install Akaunting the long and hard way rather than the one click install with Digital Ocean – which is probably the smart way to go. I should say that, sadly, after I got Akaunting setup I could not synchronize directly with my bank in Canada as it seems that it does not support the file formats…

HOW TO MAKE A VIRTUAL MACHINE VISIBLE ON THE LAN WITH VIRTUALBOX AND UBUNTU
Why this post? Some new owners took over a company. The previous owner had delivered a crm system to the new owners which ‘ran on a server upstairs’. The buyers asked for all admin passwords to the server which the Sellers provided. However, these were just user passwords and not actual root passwords or system passwords to the actual box.…
How to install Korean Hangul Keyboard Ubuntu Gnome 20.04
If you ended up on my 18.04 tutorial for Hangul then you should be here if you have 20.04. There is a difference now in this procedure starting in Part 2 PRE-AMBLE In Ubuntu there are two things that need to happen to be able to type a non-native language into the operating system.

Installing Formtools on a Server with WordPress
I’m not sure how niche this need is but I was in need of making a quick website and then suddenly needed a quick but robust web form tool. I I thought for sure I had written at least a blog or two about this awesome tool at formtools.org but apparently I have not. I deeply apologize to all the…

Installing Nextcloud on Digital Ocean Ubuntu Server Droplet
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…
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…
HOW TO CLICK AN ITEM IN A SUBMENU (UL) LIST USING PYTHON, SELENIUM
I spent literally 3 days trying to simply click a logout link with Selenium. I searched every stackoverflow post I could find until I found this one. I had tried pretty much everything I could to try to click the logout link which was the fifth item down in the move-over list. I tried find_element_by_xpath, find_element_by_id, find this, find that,…
HOW TO MAKE A NEXTCLOUD PI BOX WORK AS REVERSE PROXY TO YUNOHOST
Background The situation was that I wanted to test out the very cool project Yunohost but I already had Nextcloudpi (another awesome project!) running on my local network. I already had a DDNS service (No-ip) running which was pointing to my Nextcloudpi (“NCP” moving forward) box, and a second DNS service that I set up which pointed to my router…
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…
