I used to use Keepassx on Kubuntu 20.04 to manage my passwords but recently I have been using Bitwarden. It is a lot simpler to sync between devices and I like that it is almost purely focused on secure password management. It also meant that I could stop using the password managers built into web

Unfortunately, there isnâ(TM)t a nice graphical way to do this in Kubuntu 20.04. Ubuntu has a drop down under updates in its software sources whereas in Kubuntu 20.04 you can only install security updates automatically. This can be found under the updates tab in software sources in Muon. If that is all you want to

What is Cloudron? Cloudron is an application management service using docker with a nice web based interface. Basically, you install it on your own server (which is fairly easy if you use one of the major hosting providers) and then you can choose applications out of the App Store such as WordPress or Synapse to

Since the New Zealand Intelligence Community (NZIC) decided to get a better propaganda department there has been a large amount of propaganda and misinformation being handed out to the New Zealand public with little push back from the media. Itâ(TM)s the sort of thing that pisses me off so I thought I would point out

This is a bit of a strange post but bear with me if you can. It involves my view of the current problems with peoples anti-beliefs in Bill Gates, microchips, the United Nations, 5G technology, 1080 poison, fluoridation and electromagnets technology, etcâ¦They are problems, but they are not as big a problem as the media

This is a bit of a backup and I am posting it because the original was a bit hard to get off Way Back Machine. This is the original YouTube URL but the video was taken down so I found it on the Wayback Machine. It shows Roger Stone professing that he is a âoeWestern

Today I decided to play with CentOS 8 a little bit and also to try out Cockpit. All is going well and it is quite enjoyable but if anyone else gets an error like, âoeTo get software updates, this system needs to be registered with Red Hat, either using the Red Hat Customer Portal or

Zoom has been in the news a lot lately and Skype has been around for a long time but there is another way to video conference for free. Jitsi is a set of open source projects that allow you to go to the Jitsi Meet webpage, type in a name for your meeting room and

Youâ(TM)re wrong about is a pod-cast created by and starring (with the occasional guest host) Michael Hobbes and Sarah Marshall and it is super frigging good. Basically they go back through mostly recent history, expand upon and debunk the way events were presented at the time. I would recommend you start from the first episode

Since doing Te Araroa in New Zealand I have been interested in trail videos and documentaries. Not so much the big budget ones but instead the ones done by hikers. So I thought I should put together a bit of a list of them to make the search a little bit easier for others. If

We got an early start on day six in an effort to beat the rush and caught the first gondola to the top of Hoher Kasten at 1,794 metres above sea level. Well worth the lack of effort. Climbing up would have taken hours but once you are up there you can walk the ridge

Day five was beautiful. We drove to a small car park and then walked up toward a mountain pass. I have nothing against gondolas but they do feel a little bit like cheating sometimes. The sky was clear, the track was good and I was informed that they also ski down it in the winter.

The rain was due to stop on day 4 and there had been quite a bit of it. For example, if you looked at the amount of water in the river on my day 2 post then here is a video of the amount of water taken about a hundred meters upstream from the last

The rain continued on day three so it began with lunch. Word of warning. If anyone is thinking of going to Appenzell to loose weight, think again. In general the food consists of meat, cream, cheese, probably a type of flour product and fried. If you do the walks then you might manage to hold

On the second day there was rain coming in the afternoon so we didnâ(TM)t get to do too much walking. In the morning we went down to visit the village which is very nice. Supposedly, because of Covid, there werenâ(TM)t as many people around as usual but there still seemed to be quite a few
