Walkthroughs

Over the course of the last years, I experimented lots of stuff, mainly with computers and affiliated – actually, making this website was such an experiment. Sometimes, a YouTube tutorial or a detailed guide gave me the exact steps to follow in order to succeed, simply and swiftly. Some other times, it was one or multiple obscure forum answers from a decade ago that unexpectedly helped me. And in some occasions... I got completely stuck.

So! Dearest reader, I wouldn't want that to happen to you. Thus, I will try to give some of the help I received from the (almost) all-knowing Internet back, and write about my aforementioned experimented. So, let's walk together on some of the tracks I traced.

Installing Linux

Start simple, start with Ubuntu or affiliated. Rice it if you want!

Improving Linux

Better Linux basic commands

Installing Julia

Not that complicated, and well-explained. A tip: use juliaup. Maybe an opinionated article about Julia? link

Setting up a web server (still unsuccessful)

Easiest way for now : Apache2 on a Raspberry Pi.

GitHub

GitHub, ssh key, core concepts of git.

Add PPA repo, with the new, more secure way

Cf. taylor example

Collection of Julia performance tips I found

AllocCheck.jl, read the doc page, it's great!
