Install Microsoft Office 2010 on Ubuntu

Requirements

We'll install MSOffice using the PlayOnLinux wizard. Additionally, MSOffice requires samba and winbind to properly work.

So, if not installed, install them:

sudo apt-get install playonlinux samba winbind

Fixing SNMPD on Ubuntu

SNMP is a foundational protocol for enterprise network and system management. Getting it right shows that a vendor actually cares about servicing IT in the enterprise. Debian, and its downstream progeny, Ubuntu, ship a configuration for the SNMP server, snmpd, that's so broken it positively screams "I don't care".

This brokenness is a known thing. The following bug reports go back to , but nothing has been done to address them:

The following has been tested on both Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS.

Replacing Text to Image for Google Document using Google Apps Script

This is a sample script for replacing text to image for Google Document using Google Apps Script (GAS). There is a method for replacing text to text at Class Text of DocumentApp. But there are not methods for replacing text to image. So I created this sample script.

Demo :

This sample image was created by k3-studio.

Raspberry Pi 2/3B/B+/4B Wireless Bridge using Ubuntu Server 18.04 ARM Image and Netplan

The initial goal of this project is to use the raspberry pi in place of my Wireless Range Extender and then going from 3 wireless networks (2.4ghz, 2.4ghz extended, 5ghz) at home to only one (5ghz). This way I'm reducing the exposition to radio waves for the whole familly at home.

Let's go technical

Ok, enough drama for now, let's go technical. 😁

Setup

# Make it a function in case we have to repeat it in init script later
