Japanese input with i3 and Arch based distros

I speak (and read/write) another language (Japanese). Below is a brief guide to enabling Japanese input on Arch/Manjaro (what I currently run) and i3wm (my preferred window manager). Guide Install required packages First let's install the required packages. Fortunately, Arch provides a "group" with

isso

Installing, configuring, and integrating isso (commenting web app) into Confluence

This is (yet another) isso install guide but focusing specifically on integrating it into Atlassian's Confluence. I've grown quite fond of Confluence and have seen it scale extremely well (I deployed and maintain a confluence server at work for around 70 users). I also use confluence

tomcat

Installing, setting up, and passing variables to Apache Tomcat

Apache Tomcat is an open source Java servlet container that's used to run Java webapps. It's simple, easy to deploy, and a downright wonderful implementation of Java servlet tech that I've used (especially recently) in software projects. It's also used extensively in

fail2ban

Implement fail2ban with custom apache filter, ipset, and a sample based verification approach

One thing that comes with the territory when running servers (application servers or otherwise) is the incessant attacks and intrusion attempts that occur. Most of these are simply querying your server looking for older versions of server applications to exploit (I'm looking at you myphpadmin and wordpress...). I&

bash-script

Quick and dirty bash script to add custom resolutions from the CLI

I generally use a fairly bare-bones window manager (.e.g i3 window manager. i3 gets it right here in that it doesn't give you a fancy (shmancy) GUI application to add new resolutions (hey it's a windows manager not a DE). Plus, we can do all

bash-script

Quick and dirty bash script to switch workspaces at timed intervals

So, on a large display we use as a dashboard (of sorts) we have a few applications running - such as a 3D spacecraft position orbital viewer (similar to the one on this page). We wanted to have several things running, and at timed intervals, switch between these applications (or

clevo

Reset BIOs on Clevo laptop

I had a Metabox P650RS-G (fantastic machine btw). I sometimes played in the BIOS and was tweaking memory speed settings and voltages one day when I messed up somewhat and the machine wouldn't post... After much weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth I finally figured out how to

disqus

Integrating disqus into Confluence

As covered in a previous writeup: Installing, configuring, and integrating isso (commenting web app) into Confluence, I mentioned that I would cover integrating disqus into confluence. 💡Now before you go ahead and integrate disqus with confluence, be aware that there are other commenting options (some of which are open-source) that
