Here I’ll try to keep up to date the projects and repos I’m contributing to

As of now I’m packaging a bounch of software for Archlinux in the AUR

• Monkeysphere, you can find it [here] (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/monkeysphere/)
• Plzip, you can find in here

I was having problems with my wifi connection after a resume from suspend so following this section on the archwiki I created a systemd service restarting the wifi on every resume

I keep forgetting where to downlosd italian maps for openstreetmap, well here I can find them! I hope it’s one and for all

So I have to learn Ansible, cool

Simple steps

• Install it on local machine, on arch yaourt -S ansible – on the server nothing is needed but openssh and python2
• Make sure your remote server(s) has/ve openssh running and configured with your pubkey in the authorized_keys file
• Create an inventory file in /etc/ansible/hosts ( a list of hosts both dns names and IPs are allowed) and make sure in ansible.cfg everything is “nice”
• Check if it works issuing

•  Now cry learning playbooks
• Just kidding, just complex, once in the mood it’s easy

Dmidecode gives you infos on the components installed on your motherboard, often avoiding the need to open up the case or, more annoying, a laptop.

Here a table of convertion provided by the man page, you can ask ifos with dmidecode -t #

Another nice tool is lscpu, for more detailed infos on the CPU

If you do have some files with strange symbols showing off in the filename maybe it’s due to wrong encoding of the filename and here convmv comes in handy it is able to convert an encoded name into another. charset

Before it shows the changes it would make and then asks for confirm so you’ll know what is happening

If you were, like me, wondering how the hell does it work for python to connect to a dbus unix abstract socket file here it is

mybus=dbus.bus.BusConnection("unix:abstractx=<path/to/socket>")

I was struggling to find it out online but no website nor python docs or anything else was providing any suggestion

Hope it’s useful
