Technical notes
Previously I used to keep technical notes as gists. Now I am writing them on my main website, which makes it easier to manage and find them. Ideally, I should publish them as blog posts, but I don’t have enough time to write them up properly. Instead, I’m writing them in a somewhat crude way.
The index is here, and as of now there are notes on the following topics: Python, rsync, rsnapshot, dd, S.M.A.R.T., sudo, Windows OS, digiKam, Digitizing Hi8 cassettes, Digitizing VHS cassettes, ffmpeg, KeePass and Node.js.
