I was looking for a way to create screenshots of my pinephone. After reading this nice article it was clear that grim can do the job.

Because I’ve received my pinephone recently, I’m testing various operating systems with it. During these tests, setting up wifi is very cumbersome because I use a very long random password. That’s why I’ve created a little script ‘wifi’ that I copy to the sd-card and start it from the command line to make a wifi connection with my home network.

To control my DIY smart thermostat, I’ve created a webpage where some content like the current temperature needs to be refreshed.

Below every post on my webpage there are share buttons displayed. Because I’ve recently joined mastodon, I wanted to include a “Share on Mastodon” button.

With java spring boot it’s easy the write a web application. Standard this web application will run on port 8080. On GNU/Linux, ports below 1024 are priviliged ports, so a normal user can’t run a web application on ports below 1024. So, I’ve set up nginx as a reverse proxy to make those web applications available on port 80.
