xkcd #364: Responsible Behavior I participated in ApacheCon EU 2016’s PGP Keysigning Party recently. Being a newbie about PGP keysigning, I made the mistake of not sending the keys back to the key server after signing as I was using a GUI tool called Seahorse.

A tip on using fsck when you are stuck in emergency mode. Whenever you are using `fsck -y` and it does not allow you to run because a certain device (say /dev/sdaX) is mounted, it does not mean you can’t run `fsck -y /dev/sdaY`. That is you don’t unmount that device.

There is a hidden method to share your WiFi over Ethernet in the latest Gnome. I stumbled upon this while trying to connect my RaspberryPi 3B with my University’s Internet.

Choose Shared to other computers by clicking the Method drop-down menu.
