Science based practices for a meaningful life
A comprehensive writeup of setting up offlineimap, mutt, and notmuch.
Being a bit older it does not consider isync/mbsync nor neomutt - but the ideas and logic behind decisions is explained very well.
Fully localized, one of the rare guides using neomutt instead of mutt as well as msmtp for mail relay.
A review of Tailscale, "a secure network that just works".
Uses wireguard to create an encrypted tunnel between all your devices. Automatically takes care of NAT, DNS, and similar.
Essentially makes it really easy to set up your true private network within the wider one.
Also comes with 'taildrop' which mimics airdrop to easily transfer any files between your devices,
but do so without any involvement of external cloud services and completely encrypted.
Many many Linux softwares. Mostly useful as an overview for someone looking for a software in a specific area of computing (audio engineering, writing, database editing, programming, ..) since they are nicely sorted and allow an overview of FOSS alternatives to various software needs.
How to get Signature Spoofing working on Android 11 (R) Roms that have no support for Signature Spoofing?
Used it for Samsung Galaxy S4 with LineageOS and works quite well.
Some simple pointers and inspiration to be taken from here,
but generally probably still better to be accomplished in LaTeX than this application
Poettering writes on the full safely encrypted boot chain for encryption at rest and going byond FDE provided by LUKS, especially regarding individually encrypted home directories.
Mimcs photoshop a little more - especially in layout and shortcuts - by changing GIMP settings around.
Also installs a ton of fonts by default.
TUI/cli terminal bibliography manager. Can read and export bibtex, keeps its files in plaintext (yaml I believe?) and can thus be versioned, even comes with integrated git support.
An example of all the nuisances of modern websites
Very nice introductory page to SQLite, how to work with it, its peculiarities and so on.
easiest answer is with pandas as a library:
df = pd.read_json('inputfile.json')
df.to_csv('outputfile.csv', encoding='utf-8', index = False)read_json converts a JSON string to a pandas object (either a series or dataframe).
to_csv can either return a string or write directly to a csv-file. See the docs for to_csv.
works best when json is an array of structured objects (unstructured data, see SO answer in link)
additional pandas to csv tips see this SO thread
In-depth workflow example from a longtime taskwarrior user
A very simple full-text search tool for plaintext files.
Can support multiple indexes, uses established search db library, is set up with a single config file.
Simple isso / disqus alternative.
Seems relatively simple to implement, can allow anonymous and social login comments; super small; clean; developed on gitlab. Seems like a solid choice
a Disqus alternative.
Allows embedding a simple comment system into static site generators with some simple javascript and an sqlite database.
