After playing with it for a week, I’ve decided that Hugo will indeed be the blog software I use for now.

While I very much liked the idea of Octopress generating static pages, I do not know enough Ruby to deal with problems I had after updating my base OS.

Even if, like me, you do not want to install Google Play on your Jolla; you can still use Öffi.

1. Install Android support via Jolla store.

2. Grab the file for a custom Android without com.google.android.maps library (aosp) from Öffi’s download page.

3. Install it

On customer site, I am quite often forced to use a Windows machine to access the Linux boxes I work on. This means I will not have an ssh-agent (nor a gpg-agent) running on the machine I’m sitting at (the Win box) and the Linux boxes I access via putty tend to have shared home directories.

Long story short, I need one agent per Linux box taking into account that I may have more than one login shell to the Linux box (i.e. multiple putty windows) and config files including the hostname.

from time to time I need to configure an apache httpd with Kerberos authentication, a quick braindump follows.

New SSL certificate.

While I do like Lennart’s blog posts on systemd, I waste way too much time finding specific articles. So here are my own links with post title.

Why Octopress? Well I’m spending an awful lot of time chasing updates for my Wordpress and Drupal instances. Octopress, seems to be a saner choice for my simple blogging needs.

At http://www.pcfe.net/boot/ I have dropped the files necessary to iPXE boot. While my set up will not serve you, you can follow the steps in 00-readme.txt if you want to build your own.
