Since the official ShareLaTeX documentation is primarily written with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS in mind, I tried to re-build the provided .deb from scratch using Ubuntu 14.04 TLS with the least amount of non-standard or non-packaged software.

Here are all the steps that were required (with sudo since Ubuntu doesn't want you to be root).

First, install lots of packages - note that no additional repositories are required! (Dependencies):

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install git build-essential curl python-software-properties zlib1g-dev zip unzip
$ sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
$ sudo apt-get install nodejs npm

Operational PGP

This is a guide on how to email securely.

There are many guides on how to install and use PGP to encrypt email. This is not one of them. This is a guide on secure communication using email with PGP encryption. If you are not familiar with PGP, please read another guide first. If you are comfortable using PGP to encrypt and decrypt emails, this guide will raise your security to the next level.

Don't Buy the Snake Oil of Beamr Video

You might have heard of Beamr Video, and their impressive claims about reducing video bitrates by "up to 4x, without losing quality". Sounds too good to be true? Well, as a matter of fact, it is.

The Example Videos

The four example videos that Beamr has on their site use very high bitrates - 40-50 Mbps for 1080p video. These are the kind of bitrates you find on Blu-ray discs, whereas with something like Netflix's "SuperHD" you'd only get around ~5.6 Mbps (5800 kbps) 1080p video, and with 720p Netflix video the bitrate is only around ~3.5 Mbps (3600 kbps). If you have watched online streams like these, you'll probably know that they look quite decent. Now, if you look at the Beamr Video examples, you'll notice that even for their "reduced" clips, the bitrates are still around 9 Mbps minimum, and average as high as ~30 Mbps.

At this point, you can probably see the trick that Beamr is trying to pull
