Specifically, I mean buying property with the intention of selling it at a higher value than it was purchased at. So why is it not good? My key thoughts are: Increasing Demand Demand for a house can come from a growth in population in an area, or by an increase in the desirability of services […]
NT Government has a “Newsroom” site for official press releases, which is quite nice, but only allows subscribing via email. I like to follow news sources using RSS, as it’s an open standard, properly federated, and it’s the most convenient way to read and track these sorts of sites. Unfortunately NT Gov hasn’t got RSS […]
Yesterday evening I attended a community consultation event on Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD), which is expected to be put into law by NT Government in the near future. I thought the event was very well run, and provided lots of information to me on the specifics of what is being considered for the NT’s legislation. […]
overGrive is a great program to sync Google Drive files under Linux, however it’s a bit complicated to get it working on a Steam Deck because of the read-only filesystem. I’ve based this on the guide that Martin Wimpress wrote up here for ZeroTier: https://wimpysworld.com/posts/install-zerotier-on-steamdeck/ Step 1 – Install rwfus tool to allow installation of […]

However, in Confluence’s REST API, you need to have “Read” permissions on a space to be able to read the permissions. To get this access, you can (as an admin) go to the […]
I wrote a tool recently that allows taking log files from the Cisco-managed S3 bucket, and outputs each log line as a Syslog message, with the content of the log line as a JSON-formatted message. Details of the Cisco-managed S3 bucket are here: https://docs.umbrella.com/deployment-umbrella/docs/cisco-managed-s3-bucket Once logged onto disk, the output of this tool looks like: […]
suspend-then-hibernate is a neat feature in systemd that allows a computer to suspend (aka sleep) for a period of time, then wake up, and hibernate. To configure this required a few steps on KDE Neon (also tested on Kubuntu 23.10), though: Configure Hibernate To configure hibernate, you need to have a swap partition that is […]
I’ve recently been playing with the Hyperscript (https://hyperscript.org/) tool, and I’ve been really liking it. I set myself the challenge of making a HTML form, and adding the ability to add tags to the form. So how might we achieve this? Lets start with a simple HTML form: Now how can we send the tags? […]
To backup my server I uses a tool called restic (https://restic.net/) – It’s great. I’ve recently been testing out using MEGA (https://mega.io/) as the backend storage for my backups, and to integrate that with restic, you use rclone (https://rclone.org/) as a storage driver. Sounds complicated, but it’s really not:restic –talks-to–> rclone –talks-to–> mega However, during […]
