Because it’s relatively rare to run your own email server today, and because Gmail is very common, this tutorial assumes you’re using Mutt with Gmail. If you’re concerned about email privacy, consider opening an account with ProtonMail or Tutanota, both of which provide fully encrypted email.Tutanota has many open source components, and ProtonMail provides an IMAP bridge for paid users so that you don’t have to work around accessing your email outside a browser. However, many companies, schools, and organizations don’t run their own email services and just use Gmail, so you may have a Gmail account whether you want one or not.
[mai mult...]Shrink PDF size with this command line trick
Simple Scan has two resolution settings, Images and Text, and saves files as PDFs. Unfortunately, the quality of the scans—the words, numbers, and graphics—is unsuitable using the Text setting, but the files are quite large—up to 5MB for just a few pages—using the Image setting. I found an answer to the latter problem using the commands pdf2ps and ps2pdf, which are part of the Ghostscript package. This solution shrinks the size of PDF files, making them easier to share via email.
The man pages for these commands are terse, and it was challenging to find good documentation for them and their settings. So I pieced together the following by combining information from the man pages with various other bits of advice I found on the internet.
[mai mult...]Edit PDFs on the Linux command line
Many of the documents you receive come in PDF format. Sometimes those PDFs need to be manipulated. For example, pages might need to be removed or added, or you might need to sign or change a specific page.
There are some fancy graphical user interface tools that let you edit PDFs, but I have always been most comfortable with the command line. Of the many command-line tools for this task, the ones I use when I want to modify a PDF are qpdf and poppler-utils.

[mai mult...]Excel VBA For Each Loop
In VBA, it is mandatory to understand the loops. A loop allows you to conduct the same activity for many cells or objects in excel. VBA For Each Loop can loop through all the set collections of objects or items. For example, a group means “All the opened workbooks,” “All the worksheets in a workbook,” and “All the collection of shapes and charts in the workbook.”
[mai mult...]How to Record a Macro in Excel
A macro is a code written in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) that allows you to run a chunk of code whenever it is executed. When you record a macro, Excel closely watches the steps you’re taking and notes it down in a language that it understands – which is VBA.
And since Excel is a really good note taker, it creates a very detailed code (as we will see later in this tutorial). Now, when you stop the recording, save the macro, and run it, Excel simply goes back to the VBA code it generated and follows the exact same steps.
