As my grandmother used to say, ” kid, you need to write this down“. With that in mind, I’ve started creating a series of special how-to blogposts. These contain clear step-by-step instructions on a particular topic without much fuss. The commands or scripts provided should be executable in any environment with some slight adjustments. Some of the listed howto’s are a bit older and contain partly even more background information.
