MariaDB
Use if PHPMyAdmin is not running:
CREATE DATABASE my_wiki; CREATE USER 'wikiuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'database_password'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON my_wiki.* TO 'wikiuser'@'localhost' WITH GRANT OPTION;
- Note: Now that I have VaultWarden running, usernames and passwords will be managed through it. Also, vault should **ONLY** work with VPN access.
Mobile
Software and information about GrapheneOS. GrapheneOS only runs on Google devices currently, phones and tablets.
Software
Tips
- Pressing power+volume up buttons to switch from an audible ring tone to vibrate (or mute) is enabled by default, causing missed important phone calls and text messages.
To modify, go to Settings > Sound & vibration > Shortcut to prevent ringing
- Auto dimming has been an annoyance, it is supposed to learn tendencies/preference yet keeps dimming too low in low light conditions.
To modify, go to Settings > Display > Adaptive brightness

Windows VM
The VM needs a minimum of two cores and 4Gb memory to run. The following steps will bypass the hardware checks to allow Windows 11 to install:
Click next to show-up the "Install now" button; when you see the installation button, press "Shift+F10" on your keyboard at the same time to launch a command prompt. At this command prompt, type "regedit" and press enter to launch the Windows Registry Editor.
When the Registry Editor opens, navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup", right-click on the "Setup" key and select "New => Key".
When prompted to name the key, enter "LabConfig" and press enter.
Now right-click on the "LabConfig" key and select "New => DWORD (32-bit)" value and create a value named "BypassTPMCheck", and set its data to "1". With the same steps create the "BypassRAMCheck" and "BypassSecureBootCheck" values and set also their data to "1", so it looks like the following image.
With those three values configured under the "LabConfig" key, close the "Registry Editor", and then type exit in the "Command Prompt" followed by enter to close the window. You can now click on the "Install now" button to proceed to get "Microsoft Windows 11" installed as a virtual-machine on top of VirtualBox.
WRT3200ACM
This router has a dual boot partition that has several methods of switching from the A/B partitions. Also, information on for OpenVPN.
Logical
- SSH into your router
- You can see what partition is currently being booted from by running: /usr/sbin/fw_printenv -n boot_part
- Mine was booting from partition 1, I needed it to boot to partition 2.
- Tell the router which partition to boot from: /usr/sbin/fw_setenv boot_part 2
- Reboot the router by running: reboot
- Change the number "2" in step 4 to whatever partition you need. I couldn't find a command that would show what my boot options were. So I tried 0 first, which did nothing, then tried 2. Boot partition 2 was the correct one for me.
LuCI
Install the LuCI advanced-reboot package. This is the easiest method.
OpenVPN
Physical
Power cycling the router 3 times in quick succession When it powers on the power LED turns on then will go out briefly, This is when you turn it back off do this again and on the 3rd cycle, leave it powered on and it should boot back to the other partition.
