FYI (July 24, 2025): I've been away since July 11, dealing with an emergency move. I'll be back working on all the amazing comments y'all have been putting down, most possibly by the first weekend of August. I appreciate all the contributions everybody has been making and all the time everybody has put to make all of our lives better.

Step by step guide: How to install Microsoft Office in any Linux distribution

There are multiple options how to install MS Office on Linux.

VM-based - Integrate Windows apps running in a Windows virtual machine as native-looking in Linux

LinOffice - Microsoft Office Launcher for Linux, my own fork of Winapps which is focused on only running Microsoft Office, with some Office-specific improvements over Winapps and a fully automated setup. Eventually I would like to create a GUI for it. Decribed below
Winapps, based on KVM, QEMU, Docker/Podman and FreeRDP. Still actively maintained (getting Github commits). Decribed below
Cassowary, based on KVM, QEMU, libvirt/virt-manager, and FreeRDP. Last release in Feb 2022 and seems to be abandoned.

Remove old linux kernels

Script way

# Dry run to check
bash remove-old-kernels.sh

# Run
bash remove-old-kernels.sh exec

Introduction

This is a guide to deploying Synapse behind a Caddy reverse proxy, both running in Docker containers (an official Synapse one and a caddy-docker-proxy one), with the goal of implementing as much as possible via docker-compose files.

This guide will frequently refer to aspects of my similar guide for deploying Nextcloud behind a Caddy reverse proxy.

Domain Name

Obtain a domain name as per the instructions in the Nextcloud guide. For some Synapse specific considerations, see the official documentation here and here. The remainder of this guide will assume the use of the domain name example.duckdns.org.

Archive.org Scanned Book Downloader Bookmarklet

A simple "1-click" javascript approach to downloading a scanned book from archive.org to read at your leisure on the device of your choosing w/out having to manually screenshot every pages of the book by hand. In short it's a glorified "Save Image As..." approach but consolidated down to "1 click". BTW there may be a much better option than this out there - I just built this as an autistic project to see if it would work.

Obligatory Legal/Disclaimer:

By using this script you agree to delete all book files/images after your 1 hour or 14 days is up! I don't support using this script for any other use cases. After all, none of us have ever kept a library book past it's return date, right?

The following is a WIP guide for installing nix-bitcoin on a RaspberryPi 4.

NixOS is supported on the Pi 4 as an aarch-64 image. Read more here.
Currently, the builds running on Hydra are broken past linux kernel version 5.10, so we'll stick to that version.
Look for a successfully building image on the Hydra website. (Check that you're downloading the 5.10 Linux kernel.)
For example, this guide was built with this build: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/157989162

The image is compressed with zstd. Download and run unzstd to uncompress, or with Nix nix-shell -p zstd --run "unzstd -d .img.zst".
