Ubuntu 21.10 installation with a bunch of programs

Thiago Braga — Fri, 22 Apr 2022 22:40:13 +0000

Hi, guys. How are you?

In this post I'll share the script I've been writing down during my most recent installation of Ubuntu 21.10, so I can reuse it on another computer.

It's divided into the following sections:

Initial tasks
Install essential software
Tasks to do after install
Development
Browsers
Other softwares

Note: This script is constantly changing. Follow the Ubuntu 21.10 Installation gist for the most current version, in case the text below is out of date.

Initial tasks

Use `sudo` without password

# TODO: Check if entry already exists in sudoers file

# It'll ask for password only once
echo "${USER} ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL" | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers

Update installed programs

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade -yV
sudo apt autoremove -yV
sudo apt autoclean

Make Ubuntu use local time for hardware clock

It avoids conflicts with Windows clock in dual-boot setups.

Wide section for Notion

💾 TL;DR
Duplicate the template here

Hi, guys. How are you? A long time since my last post. I hope everyone is well and healthy.

Last Saturday, I had an idea for my company's Notion. This idea made it easier to separate the categories into a larger section. And on top of that, I wanted to come up with a result that was responsive and that worked on both themes. The only downside is that each title and paragraph on the left side is made with images. 🥲

I would like to share some screenshots I took. I hope you all like it 🥰 (click image to enlarge and open in another window).

Dark theme for (almost) everything

Thiago Braga — Fri, 06 Sep 2019 20:08:50 +0000

Hi, people. This is my first post on Dev.to and I'm very happy for it. I've been postponing this task for a long time, perhaps because of perfectionism or shyness (or both). 😅

In the last four years, I've fallen in love with using and creating dark themes for the apps I use with the help of the Stylus Chrome extension, and now I want to share and spread the word. Come to the dark side! 😎

Google Calendar Dark Theme - v0.0.10 - Week view in foreground

In this saga, I realized that it was complicated to develop themes for websites by editing straight into the extension interface. It didn't have the same shortcuts that I was used to in VS Code, among other limitations. At that time I used the Stylebot extension instead of Stylus.

So I started looking for a way to edit the styles locally and inject the changes into the site somehow, like BrowserSync for example. BrowserSync was my first attempt, but I couldn't go very far, I ran into many difficulties, such as running a server to just serve a CSS file and inject it into the browser.

After a long time, I found this wonderful boilerplate from Randy W. Sims (if you are reading this, thank you very much!!!). I was very happy, very grateful, and started developing my own themes. And after some time, I've made modifications on the boilerplate to achieve my needs, like code in Stylus lang and run tasks with Make. This has always served as a therapy, made me happy, and benefited my eyesight and concentration.

You can check my themes on my Github with the suffix -userstyles. These dark themes are in constant development. Others not so much...

thiagobraga / google-calendar-userstyles

🗓 One Dark theme for Google Calendar

thiagobraga / gmail-userstyles

📬 Gmail One Dark theme

Note: For this theme to work, you need to change Gmail theme to the dark theme.

thiagobraga / todoist-userstyles

✔ Improvements for Todoist

Note: Todoist has its native dark theme. My theme only improve some things.

thiagobraga / hackmd-userstyles

🖌 Dark HackMD w/ Realtime Preview

thiagobraga / lastpass-userstyles

🖌 A blue dark theme for LastPass password manager

I hope it is useful for those who like dark themes. Glad to be able to contribute in some way to the open source community.

Thanks 😊
