RouterOS Port Forward for Serviio

Port forwarding for Serviio with RouterOS

Some Pro subscription services for the Serviio media server require Internet access.

On a network protected by a Mikrotik RouterOS device, this will probably need to be set up manually.

In the examples below the IP address of your local Serviio box is 10.0.0.5 and the router's Internet port is "ether-gateway".

In the graphical console

Read markdown on the command line

Neat trick I found in this Stack comment by @barry-staes:

pandoc README.md | lynx -stdin

Finally, a reason to start installing lynx on all my machines again.

Technical debt explainers

Explaining Technical Debt

The Debt Metaphor

I thought borrowing money was a good idea, I thought that rushing software out the door to get some experience with it was a good idea, but that of course, you would eventually go back and as you learned things about that software you would repay that loan by refactoring the program to reflect your experience as you acquired it.

Converting a WordPress site to static HTML

Converting a WordPress site to static HTML

There are many suggested solutions for this, once you get past the incessant finger-wagging by generations of StackOverflow moderators that the question is "outside the scope".

I have tried a few, most do not work.

Using wget seems to work if you target a specific page (which is all I needed for my project):

wget -r -p -e robots=off http://site.example.com/anotherpage

Getting the latest GIMP

Getting the latest GIMP

The GNU Image Manipulation Program may not quite be a PhotoShop killer, but for a lot of us it's close enough.

The latest version, v2.10.0 was release on 27 April 2018 and is a major improvement over previous versions.

Most Linux distributions still ship the previous version released in 2013, and as a result users who want to upgrade will have to find an alternative source.

The official package from the GIMP Project is in flatpak format.

That flatpak is hosted on Flathub.
