Reformatting a PDF

On the Royal Mail website is a "handy" price guide available as a PDF: http://www.royalmail.com/sites/default/files/Royal-Mail-Our-Prices-March-20… It's only actually "handy" if you have a weird printer (or at least very unusual sized paper). I'm not sure what size/shape you'd call it but it would go into a DL envelope without folding... What I'd like to do is split the individual pages out and merge them to get three (maybe four) "pages" per A4 sheet so that I can print it on my very normal A4 printer. Suggestions? This is an annual headache and I'm fed up with a different manual solution every year. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0844 251 1450 Registered in England (0456 0902) 21 Drakes Mews, Milton Keynes, MK8 0ER

OT?: Wordpress hosts
by Mark Rogers 31 Aug '17

Can anyone recommend a Wordpress host? By which I mean a company that provides and supports the Wordpress install and just leaves the customer to deal with the content, not a company who provides hosting onto which I could install Wordpress myself. A company my wife works with has been left in lurch after their existing host decided they're going to shut down, and I said I'd ask around, and I know a few people here are involved in hosting. Although it's a FOSS application running on a FOSS O/S it feels like it's only on-topic on a technicality, so I'm happy to take off-list replies or discuss here as others see fit. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0844 251 1450 Registered in England (0456 0902) 21 Drakes Mews, Milton Keynes, MK8 0ER

ALUG Announce Please send announcements to Announce(a)lists.alug.org.uk Unsub, change settings via https://lists.alug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/announce ----- Hello Norwich Aluggers, Our monthly ALUG Norwich social meeting will be held this Thursday, 10th August at The Coach and Horses (82 Thorpe Road, Norwich, NR1 1BA). The meeting officially starts at 8pm, although some people may arrive earlier. More information on those people can be found on the list and the IRC channel. If you are unsure if you will recognise us then make yourself and your intent to attend known by either posting on list or visiting us on IRC so we can look out for you rather than hiding in the corner. Optionally you could ask at the bar if they know where the geeky computer weirdos are and they'll point you in the right direction (seriously!). Another possibility is look for heaps of electronics on a table that may possibly look like movie props that would used for detonating explosives. Feel free to bring electronics/laptops/gadgets to the meet, you will by no means be alone. Ben Bewick aka Viperfang NB: This mail is automated, please refer to the usual sources for more information.

Setting up SSH keys for an organisation
by Mark Rogers 04 Aug '17

04 Aug '17

I understand the concepts behind key based SSH authentication, I'm just looking for suggested "best practice". Situation: Small company* using SSH to access various** Linux servers, some internal, some external, currently using password-based SSH for most of this, sometimes key based but managed on an ad-hoc basis. Many of the clients are Windows based using PuTTY. I want to shift everything to key based, and that requires me managing the keys. In particular I want to be able to add a new user (and therefore a new key), add it to servers as required (so not all users will have access to all servers), and remove keys if required too (eg someone leaves). As a starting point, I can create public/private key pairs for each user, add them manually to authorized_keys on appropriate hosts, and give each user their private keys (in PuTTY's PPK format as needed). That leaves me with several keys to manage securely, and a bit of a maintenance headache keeping track of who is authorised where. Suggestions? * Small means, in this case, 3 users, but with plans to expand. ** Various means probably a dozen (maybe twice that) VMs, hosted servers, etc, using a mixture of Debian and Ubuntu. -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0844 251 1450 Registered in England (0456 0902) 21 Drakes Mews, Milton Keynes, MK8 0ER
