Accessing both .i2p and .onion websites in Tor Browser

This is an instruction how to configure Tor Browser to be able to access eepsites (.i2p) in addition to normal clearnet sites (through Tor) and .onion sites.

Step 1: Install Tor Browser and i2pd, start i2pd.

You may need to wait a bit as I2P needs time to find peers. It also needs to be running in background if you want to access .i2p websites.

Step 2: Start Tor Browser and go to about:config, then make the following changes:

network.proxy.no_proxies_on = *.i2p

SIMPLE scheduled backup of Linux home folder to external HDD or similar

This will check whether your external HDD (or USB stick or SD card) is plugged in and will then backup your /home folder via one-way sync to it as a backup.

What this doesn't do:

  • compress your files
  • deduplicate your files to save storage space

If you want this, you'd better use something like Vorta Backup.

What it does do:

  • mirror your home folder to a backup disk

Installing Microsoft Office in Linux

Step by step guide: How to install Microsoft Office in any Linux distribution

There are multiple options how to install MS Office on Linux.

VM-based - Integrate Windows apps running in a Windows virtual machine as native-looking in Linux

  1. Winapps, based on KVM, QEMU, Docker/Podman and FreeRDP. Still actively maintained (getting Github commits). Decribed below
  2. Cassowary, based on KVM, QEMU, libvirt/virt-manager, and FreeRDP. Last release in Feb 2022 and seems to be abandoned.

The VM-based options means can run Office 2024 or Office 365 including all apps, but while the Windows apps themselves run flawlessly (as they're running on real Windows) there's various freerdp-related bugs you may encounter.
