I’m using Calibre for my e-books library management for many years, but until today always used its desktop version. A couple of days ago I found the Calibre Web project – the same library, working with the same database, but accessible via a browser. The idea is to move away from storing books in Google… Read More »
As a follow-up to the SSH: RSA keys, and ssh-agent for SSH keys and their passwords management post. The idea now is to make simpler to work with password-protected SSH keys, to avoid the necessity to enter a password each time when you want to load a key to the ssh-agent. One of the possible… Read More »
So, this seems to be the last one post in the whole series about passwords and SSH management in Linux. The previous parts were about: Linux: the Nextcloud client, qtkeychain and the “The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files” error – I found that a keyring service is able to store SSH… Read More »
One of the motives to go deeper into the keyrings (see the What is: Linux keyring, gnome-keyring, Secret Service, and D-Bus post) was the fact that Chromium, surprise-surprise, keep passwords unencrypted if a Linux system has no keyring and/or Secret Service enabled. So, let’s try to find how and where Chromium store passwords, and the… Read More »
It’s a really long-read post and I wast sure if it’s better to split it into three parts or put them together. On the one side, there are keyrings, from another – D-Bus, and finally, there is a Secret Service. Eventually, I decided to keep them here together as I googled all it in the… Read More »

In general… Read More »
After installing Nextcloud (see the Nextcloud: running in Docker Compose on Debian with Let’s Encrypt SSL post), on the next day its client ton my Arch Linux asked for authentication. But after I entered my credentials, it returned me the following error: Reading from keychain failed with error: ‘The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by… Read More »
A couple of days ago I got an additional laptop to take it on meetings. As it will be used rarely and not as my main laptop – I decided to install Manjaro Linux there instead of usual Arch Linux – to take a look at the Manjaro itself and because don’t want to spend… Read More »
had to create a short demonstration video for Okta’s support, googled a tiny, quick and simple application – Kazam. On Arch Linux can be install from AUR: Run it: I set the Automatic save by default (to the ~/Videos): Now, chose an area to record from: And the resulted video example: Done.
We have an AWS EC2 which suddenly rebooted. The issue is that its /var/log/messages incomplete and the latest record is about rsyslog service killed – but nothing about who killed it and why. Then I went to the journald but surprise – it stores logs only for the current boot so there was no way… Read More »
