What and why

Create an unprivileged Linux container (LXC) dedicated to running Wordpress websites.

If you install Wordpress regularly on Linux you can instead simply clone this container.

The Wordpress installation is nothing fancy. It's not multi-site, it's not SSL enabled by default, or anything like that. Just a plain bog-standard Wordpress installation serving a single domain.

Warning!

Just a note-to-self to prevent me from reinventing the wheel again.

A shuffle that always produces a predictable output.

e.g.

>>> x = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
>>> dshuffle(x)
[7, 8, 1, 5, 3, 4, 2, 0, 9, 6]

Wifi on Ubuntu 18 server

TLDR

1. Install wpasupplicant
2. Turn on wifi radios: sudo nmcli radio wifi on
3. Check your devices are recognised even if they're not "managed": sudo iwconfig
4. Check your wifi (here called "wlp3s0") is capable of detecting nearby routers: sudo iwlist wlp3s0 scan
5. Configure netplan by dropping a file called 01-netcfg.yaml into /etc/netplan/ or edit existing file there. See example below.
6. netplan try, netplan generate, netplan apply.

I have Zotero installed on several machines: Windows at work and Ubuntu Linux at home. By ensuring the configs match on all machines, behaviours should be reliable.

Better BibTex config

I'm currently using the default setting (as of Zotero version 6.0.18):

zotero.clean
