Affinity randomly not working after AMD driver update

If you happen to use Affinity on Windows 11 using an AMD GPU, like a 9070XT in my case, chances are you may be fancing some random crashes or even can t open the program at all. I tried everything, countless reinstalls and the like. Eventually I remembered I had recentely updated my graphics drivers to [ ]

Configuring MX Master 3S in (K)Ubuntu 25.10

Now that I ve built a gaming PC just for the sake of it, I can get back to the true path and install Linux in my work PC . No dual boot, just Linux. The only things that were keeping me away from having just Linux in my desktop computer were the games and some design [ ]

Using TP-Link AC600 on Ubuntu 22.04

Apparently the TP-Link AC600 wireless usb adapter does not run out of the box on Ubuntu 22.04, and the drivers on the internet used to work but have apparently stopped working. The solution is to compile an older version of the drivers. The solution is written in this GitHub comment by user echo-lalia. I m copying [ ]

Nginx Proxy Manager as a reverse proxy for Proxmox services + certs!

Did you read my last post? Well forget about it. There s a much easier way to manage the certs of your subdomains pointing to services hosted in your local network. Nginx Proxy Manager is a helper built around Nginx and deployed as a Docker container that offers a user friendly GUI to configure Nginx as [ ]

Enable HTTPS on your Proxmox with LetsEncrypt

For some years now I ve had a couple of Tp-Link TAPO smart plugs connected to a simple Amazon Echo Dot. That was all the home automation I had, but this christmas I decided to get more serious about it, to automate ceiling lights and some other stuff that requires a more serious investment. I started [ ]

Improving the speed of your Kobo e-reader by converting your epubs to kepub

Apparently, Kobo e-readers work much better when the files for the books use the kepub format, which is essentially Kobo s own flavour of the epub format. The difference is noticeable. I was trying to read an epub file that kept freezing my Kobo Clara HD, then I found a Reddit post that suggested using kepub [ ]

Fixing blurry Visual Studio Code when using scaling on Ubuntu

I ve recently bought a 32 4k monitor and, obviously I ve had to enable scaling on both Windows and Ubuntu, with varying levels of success. On Ubuntu looks like that, when using fractional scaling (say, 150% instead of 200%), some apps become blurry. That is the case of VSCode. Fortunately there are a couple of command [ ]

Compiling UxPlay on Windows

Shortly after I bought my iPad I started tinkering with it to project the screen on other systems, either to stream the screen using something like OBS or for using it while I teach. At first the only solution I found on Windows was Lonely Screen, which does exactly what is expected: it allows to [ ]

Tighten your thermistor

This is just a PSA for all of you owners of an Anycubic i3 Mega (or any other printer for that matter) that are suffering heavy temperature oscillations or are otherwise unable to get a stable temperature during prints. Looks like it is a common problem with multiple causes, ranging from physical problems in either [ ]

3D printed Arduino button pad

This is a simple yet useful project built using Arduino and my 3D printer, the Anycubic i3 Mega. It s a 5x button pad to launch shortcuts or do actions in your computer. The requirements are: 1 x Arduino Nano. They re really powerful and fulfill this task perfectly. Probably you could use a simpler microcontroller for [ ]
