The issue with SSL certificate

Just out of the blue, I started getting this issue ("server certificate verification failed. CAfile: none CRLfile: none") while trying to clone any Github repository on Linux (WSL2):

git clone https://github.com/rafaelpontezup/preventing-lost-update-racecondition.git
Cloning into 'preventing-lost-update-racecondition'...
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/rafaelpontezup/preventing-lost-update-racecondition.git/': server certificate verification failed. CAfile: none CRLfile: none

And also with Window 11 I got "SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate":

Easiest, if you have pip:

Adding Documents

Most of the time I add documents via their DOI. For example, I'll be on IEEExplore or ResearchGate and see a paper that I either want to read or know for sure I'll want to cite. So I simply copy the DOI and run

Useful regex during manuscript cleanup

Copy-paste to split book into separate chapter files
Fix inline spans broken by a space after a word before the closing *
Remove image width and height inherited from images in docx
Wrap all images in an Electric Book figure blockquote
Simplify indentation in lists by reducing space after list marker to one space
Remove non-kramdown markdown ^ around superscripts after numbers
Wrap the opening words of a paragraph in a span
Find an email address

Calibre Server on Linux

Introduction

Calibre is a powerful cross-platform, open source, ebook manager and editing platform. Its calibre-server component can be used to publish an e-book library on a local network. While you can launch calibre-server as a desktop application, it can also be run as a daemon on a headless Linux server.

This tutorial on setting up calibre-server using Ubuntu 14.04 is very good, but dated.

SSH keypair setup for GitHub (or GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket, etc, etc)

Create a repo.

Make sure there is at least one file in it (even just the README.md)

Generate a SSH key pair (private/public):

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]"
