This site had been running on azure for a while but due to “issues”, I’ve had to move it on to my proxmox server, which has meant setting up a reverse proxy so it plays nicely with the other services.
Long story short, all done. NGINX proxy manager working, website restored from backup. Proxmox VE Helper Scripts is a godsend.
I recently got a Raspberry Pi 400. I’ve got Retropie on one microSD card and the official Raspberry Pi OS on another, but I wanted a “full fat” OS. My preferred Linux distro for lower powered systems is Xubuntu, but there is no pre-built image available, so you need to start with Ubuntu server (64bit) which is available in the Raspberry Pi imager.
Updated update Apparently it is still necessary (21.3)
Update: this is no longer necessary in Mint 20.02
I like having my volume control in the bottom right corner of the screen so I can quickly and easily throw the mouse to the corner and scroll for volume control. I also like using multiple screens, each with their own panel. Unfortunately, Cinnamon only allows one instance of the volume control applet.
In the past I’ve used the “Volume control 150%” applet for my second screen, but this runs into a problem with Firefox whereby the volume suddenly jumps to 100%.
To run multiple Cinnamon volume controls:
sudo cp -r /usr/share/cinnamon/applets/sound@cinnamon.org /usr/share/cinnamon/applets/sound2@cinnamon.org
sudo nano /usr/share/cinnamon/applets/sound2@cinnamon.org/metadata.json
Change the UUID from sound@cinnamon.org to sound2.cinnamon.org and change the name to Sound2
You can now add the “Sound2” applet to the your other Cinnamon panel. Or the same one. Add more. Go nuts.
