I’m cybrkyd and this is where I blog. I’m not really a kid by age; more of a perpetual kid at heart! This blog is a collection of tips and tricks and guides that have helped me and will hopefully help someone else. I will also offer my own random thoughts and opinions. A proud script kiddie, I enjoy having fun finding cool and efficient ways of doing stuff. I use Linux, love FOSS, and have a lot of play dates with Python, SQL, CSS, HTML, PHP, bash.

Ha! I didn’t even notice the date, or how the time has simply flown by. The 7th of October marked my third year of blogging; where exactly the time has gone, I cannot say. This started off as a little bit of fun and here I am, still...
SSH config tends to drop out of my memory and I need a refresher from time to time. I’ve updated my cheat sheet and am making a note about ~/.ssh/config when using key files with non-standard names. I name my keys to something useful,...
My cheat sheet of ssh and scp one-liners. # Generate a new key - Follow the prompts to setup desired key-type and key location. ssh-keygen # Copy specific key to remote server ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub user@server.com Or, copy...
Digging through some old boxes, I found my old trusty Lenovo laptop. Wow! This thing had been hiding in a box for months…maybe 8 months? But the battery was still at 33%! I had replaced this laptop only because its keyboard started...
I have started playing around with Kodi again. Having recently turned-off my original external Jellyfin server, I have been running the server on my laptop. It’s been working well but I started to question if continuing to have this...
With my VPS expiring in December, I needed to find a new home for my Jellyfin server. I no longer need my VPS — the price to renew it has doubled and I can no longer justify the cost. It has to go. I used to run all sorts on there but...
This is the second time this week, but at least it’s Sunday. The worst is when I wake up at 2am during the working week and can’t fall asleep again. The day is a struggle to get through and I end up feeling so tired that come bedtime, I...
This one fully deserves a “OMG Ubuntu”, but meant more like “what on earth are you doing, Ubuntu?”. The font Ubuntu Regular has become thinner and therefore is much more difficult to read, apparently all in an effort to look “modern”. If...
This question has been doing the rounds in my head for a while since completing #PaPy. Why does a blog’s sitemap.xml need to have <lastmod>? According to the specs, the tag is not mandatory and besides that, it does not really fit into a...
This is my #wishlist of shiny new stuff I would like to have in the near future in no particular order of preference. A recurring random thought that I will add to its own special wishlist. I wish I could have a toaster with a digital...
According to me, NFS wins hands down every time when it comes to file sharing between Linux PCs. The setup configuration is minimal and in less than 60 seconds, two Linux boxes can be talking nicely to each other. Importantly, it is...
I really hate networking. For something as simple as trying to get two machines to communicate, it is actualy quite a difficult thing to do. And once done, it is very easy to break or introduce some instability into the link. Take for...
Linux Mint badly needed a reinstall. I broke something by trying to run a simple gedit command to open several docs from one command, and it has not been the same ever since. Sigh! Gnome software, what can you do, eh? I lost all my gedit...
What a version. I love this, for it shows how universal music truly is. It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World (Official Live Performance Video) James Brown, Luciano Pavarotti
