Well it has taken a little bit, but thanks to Getting Things Gnome! (GTG!), I installed Aider and Ollama and began some vibe coding. Prior to this, I have written data science code in Python and R and produced some GUI applications for Linux. I also developed some software that is in the Windows store, [...]

I love Joplin, but Joplin seems more like an incredible file cabinet and set of bookshelves. It is possible to link from one note to another, but a Joplin icon appears by that link in the text. It can also be cumbersome to navigate between multiple documents while working on one. Joplin recently added the [...]

It is a very challenging thing to pick a tool to invest time into building a personal knowledgebase. I have used numerous tools over the years and collected a huge number of documents and notes. Logseq integrates with Zotero which might prove useful due the gigabytes of material that I have stored there. My plan [...]

I discovered Trilium.  The license is great.  The software is mind-blowing.   I found it as part of my desire to migrate away from Obsidian. They have a repository at https://github.com/TriliumNext/Trilium. Via an advertisement there, I discovered https://www.warp.dev/code which looks like an most incredible resource.   That may be how applications like Trillium have such incredible documentation and [...]

Debian stable requires one to use a format other than the LibreWolf repo because as of 23 November, 2025 their site says the following: sudo apt update && sudo apt install extrepo -y [...]

My refined direction is digital sovereignty via the old paths with a goal of writing at least one article per week. The complexity of the articles will change because many projects are planned for the long term, but getting started on them takes a very long time.. I setup a RAID 5 in my old [...]

One source for the Java 8 (1.8) runtime is the Oracle Archives page.  Another helpful one is the standard Java download page for the desktop Java Runtime Environment, JRE. I downloaded the Linux x86 (32-bit) version even though the host is a 64bit Linux.  The reason for that is that at some point in the [...]

The ~/.ssh/config file works for OpenSSH on Windows and for SSH on Linux. To prevent disconnects, add the keepalive messages for all hosts. For specific hosts that use a specific key type, such as RSA on CentOS 6, add the specific algorithm via the HostkeyAlgorithms + functionality. To add a private key for SSH key [...]
