Many times, especially with customizable software stacks, there are aspects
or features of the software that we wish they were done differently.
Fortunately, when using open-source software, configuring said software to
do our bidding could be within a few (hundred) keystrokes. T…
I had to work with many scanned PDF documents that were saved in a very
un-optimal way, each one having up to tens of MBs. This was not suitable
for sending via email and also unnecessary. I saw an option on my
girlfriend's Mac to optimize PDF. The result was that her document

Somehow, the
official documentation
for restoring Gitea from dump did not work for me. Roughly, the following
command for the original rootful Docker image could look like this:
/app/gitea/gitea dump --file gitea-dump.zip -c /data/gitea/conf/app.ini --skip-lfs-data --skip-reposit…
I am still obsessed with the OpenPGP smartcard. I know, it is definitely
far inferior to YubiKey. It has far, far less features and it's GnuPG
implementation is even
riddled with serious bugs
that can take days to work around. It definitely has it's peak years

There are a few pitfalls worth noting when using Ansible when the remote is
an Arch machine. I know, a weird combination. It looks more and more like
basically no-one uses Arch remote with Ansible. But hey, I like it, so
learning (and documenting) a thing or two along the way mig…
Currently, using a rootless Docker on Arch can reasonable be divided into
two approaches: stability and performance. With the stability, the choice
is a LTS kernel and a fuse-overlayfs storage driver, while under
performance a latest stable kernel is used alongside the latest wid…
Both YubiKey and GnuPG are able to do many things. The difference one might
point out is, that GnuPG probably does
neither of them particularly well,
resembling a Swiss army knife. No matter how well either of the tools
handles tasks it is able to perform, both tools had became a…
