Ufff, I haven’t been writing here for a while. But I’m back! Few weeks ago I bought a Lenovo Thinkpad 11e Chromebook (at auction). Why? I found out that you can install Linux on these devices, which are called Chromebooks. Also, I needed a more portable (and cheaper) device than my main “machine” (Lenovo Legion Y520), which could serve as a device for opening browser (Firefox) and terminal. When it got delivered to me, I did installed a SeaBIOS (more later) and EndeavourOS on it for testing. And actually I was happy that Linux can work on it. ...

For a couple of times I have seen a GIF with a terminal session, which showed the usage of a CLI program at its GitHub README. I think that’s nice that creator shows how to do basic stuff with his/her app in this simple way (not everyone might have time to read what program does, so they can just watch that). Lately I’ve been horsing around with my simple TUI program (for tracking InPost parcels) and yesterday I also added a similar GIF. ...

Did you happen to buy an audiobook and all you got is one big mp3 file with a .cue file? Why am I asking? Because from time to time I buy an audiobook at Audioteka and as I prefer to have each chapter as a separate mp3, I have to split one audio file into smaller ones by myself. But, hey, I can do it in terminal with mp3splt! (There is also GUI option: mp3splt-gtk!) ...

Hey, recently I tried to setup Wireguard on vps with Debian 10 (as a server) and my laptop with EndeavourOS (as a client) and I decided to write it up, so someone may make use of it. Server setup (Debian 10 buster) Installing stuff On Debian wiki we can find information that for Debian buster wireguard is available from Backports. As wiki says on another page, backports are recompiled packages from testing and unstable repository that cane be run on stable Debian distribution. But before we install wireguard from backports we need to perform some steps. ...

There are 2 kinds of mirroring in GitLab: pull (mirroring from another repo) and push (mirroring to another repo). Today I tried the second one! For mirroring you need an already created repository on GitLab of course. Then it’s needed to create another one on GitHub. When you have opened GitHub, you should also create PAT (Personal Access Token) by going into: Settings -> Developer settings -> Personal access token -> Generate new token. Type into Note some text (e.g. gitlab_repository_name) and select public_repo (under repo), then click Generate token and copy or leave open tab with shown token for later copy+paste (if you close tab, you won’t see the token again). ...
