I would like to submit Flying Grizzly’s form. I filled in every

Fixed issue #142
Two weeks ago, Google Webmasters complained about the broken urls in this
blog’s Tags page. This was reported by Joakim Vivas as
issue #142 half a year ago. Pascal had submitted
pull request #165 to fix this. However, he self-closed his PR.
Since the last commit by Michael Romero, Beautiful Hugo’s owner, was
five months ago, it seems that he has abandonned his project. Therefore, I
used Kaushal Modi’s solution to fix this at commit ff536782.

Problem
After installing NPM throught Ubuntu’s default apt-get manager, I got
permission errors. Though sudo can solve the problem, that’s not
the right way in principle because NPM is supposed to hold different versions of
Node.js packages for testing. It’s insecure to execute npm with sudo
priviledges.

Le Temple du Marais
"Eglise verte" means "green church".
Background: 🈶 ⛪ → 🌿
→ 📧 In the recent decade,
organizations are replacing courrier with email. The reason is two-folded. 🌿
First, the later is more environmentally-friendly. 📨 Second, the later delivers
the content to the recipient quick as a flash.
📧 📎 When one sends an email,
one sometimes wants to attach a file to an email. If one has to sign a paper
document and send it by email, then one will probably need a scanner. (Despite
the emergence of scanning apps on mobile devices, the quality of a scanner is
normally better since the page is flattened during the scan.)

Main ideas
–
Ideal energy range for storage: 40%–80%
The biggest enemy of electronic parts
is heat
.
Avoid overchanging and unplug AC adapter when charging is complete. In
particular, don’t leave a fully charged laptop connected to power supply.
This can reduce the lifespan of the battery.
Avoid deep discharges: recharge the laptop battery when its enery level
drops to 40%.
Reduce unnecessary programs running in background.
If your hardware vendor supports Linux drivers for batteries, set the charging
thershold to 80%.

Background
Despite my experience in Vim, the multi-cursor functionality in
Sublime Text 3 has seduced my to change my editor.
Unlike Vim, a nonempty new line at the end of Sublime Text 3
file buffer causes the file to end without a newline character. In fact,
it’s a POSIX standard to include a newline character at the EOL (end of
file). (c.f. No Newline at End of File)
Problem
Unaware of the above POSIX standard and Sublime Text 3 convention,
I have edited many lines of code in the repository for this blog and the one for
my custom Beautiful Hugo. These edited files were almost everywhere in
these repositories, and they polluted their remote counterparts on GitLab .

Motivation
One loves adding colors to his/her life by adding stunning photos to his/her
social media profile. However, due to various constraints, such as weather,
budget and time, it’s possible that the photos taken look dark and somber.
Eglise St Martine
Photo taken at Pont-du-Château, Puy-de-Dôme (63) on 30th June, 2017
Despite a suboptimal choice of camera angle, a right tool enables you to take
the best out of the photo. Let’s go GIMPing.

Objective
To get a hands-on experience on Ubuntu installation on a UEFI hybrid system.
Devices
120 GB SSD disk: /dev/sda
1 TB HDD disk: /dev/sdb
8 GB USB key: /dev/sdc
Stage 0: precautions
Ensure that your machine has enough
power.
Disable Secure Boot in M$ Windows
Disable Quick Boot in boot menu
Stage 1: Make your live USB key
I tried Xubuntu’s built-in disk writing tool to create a live USB key from the official ISO file.
Like my Xubuntu 18.04 installation on Fujitsu LH532 , the installer crashed during the installation. After
submitting the generated report to Launchpad, I found out that the cause for
this crash: the integrity test for my live USB key had failed.
