• 13:18, 25 November 2025 Elvanor talk contribs created page Brave (Created page with "= Password Manager = * For Google accounts, Brave sometimes has a bug which makes it impossible to save the login / password combination. This can be fixed by adding manually the entry, with a host equal to https://accounts.google.com. * Removing in Login Data and Login Data For Account files in ~/.config/BraveSoftware/Brave-Browser/Default/ can also probably help (if those files somehow get corrupted). You will lose your entire database of saved passwords though.")

You just need to add USE="kernel-open" to the package.")
• 07:40, 22 October 2025 Elvanor talk contribs created page Nextcloud (Created page with "= Client = * Sometimes the client can get stuck in very, very long operations (especially if you move or changed large folders around). This is normal - you can check the progress of what's going on in /home/elvanor/.config/Nextcloud/logs/. If it still writes to a log there, everything is fine, you just need to wait. * There is also a nextcloud_sync.log file, located at /home/elvanor/.local/share/Nextcloud/.

• 15:45, 7 July 2025 Elvanor talk contribs created page XRay (Created page with "= Concepts = * XRay is an advanced VPN with a focus on bypassing Internet censorship. * It's a good VPN solution for countries with Internet restrictions. * You must install the classic pair of client and server. * For clients, V2rayN is a good choice for desktop OSes (Linux, Windows). For Android, V2rayTun on the Google store is fine. * For servers, the 3x-ui docker image (bundling the server / proxy component with a web interface) is what I used. = Setting up the ser...")
• 12:59, 4 July 2025 Elvanor talk contribs created page Unison (Created page with "= Archive files = * The archive files present in ~/.unison are important and represent the database of the last synchronized state. * The name of the archive file is computed from the hostname of the computer that will run the Unison process, and from the path of the root (apparently it may also include a device node ID, not sure about this). This means that with the same paths but on different hosts, the archive files will be different. You can use the UNISONLOCALHOSTN...")

• 07:39, 7 April 2025 Elvanor talk contribs created page Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) Projection Screens (Created page with "= Orientation = * Be very careful with the orientation of an ALR screen. It rejects light from the top or from the bottom, and accordingly the projector position is very important. Usually you will place an UST projector on a bench or small table (light will be coming from the bottom), so you have to buy a model that is designed for this. If you buy an ALR screen where the projector is mounted on the ceiling, it won't work at all with a projector on a table. * Symptoms...")

This then allows you to install any Android application (if you have the APK package); this is especially useful for File Manager, which then allows wireless transfers to the Quest 3S. * To install Sidequest, follow the online documentation.

• 14:02, 5 November 2024 Elvanor talk contribs created page Google Docs (Created page with "= Downloading source images = * It is surprisingly difficult to download an image (picture) present in a Google document. First thing to understand is that once you upload a source image, you won't be able to later download the original. You will download a modified version of it (downsized by Google). Thus it's important to keep the source image if you want to reuse it later. * To download a downsized version, the easiest trick I have found is to temporarily publish th...")
