Create and Manage a GPG Authenticated APT Repository [Linux]

This tutorial demonstrates how to easily create and manage an APT repository which uses GPG authentication. This is Debian/Ubuntu specific but can be easily adapted for other Linux distributions. The repository can then be published by setting up an HTTP server or by syncing it to Amazon S3, Sourceforge, and other hosting services.

Clevo P150SM Power LED Replacment / Color Change

By default the Clevo P150SM and other Clevo notebooks use a blue LED for the power button indicator and for the status LEDs. It would be nice if these were RGB LEDs that could be changed through software like the keyboard but unfortunately they are single color blue LEDs. However they are very easy to change if you have the right tools. I replaced my Power LED with a green one from a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate but any 3.3v LED will work.

Upgrading Clevo P150SM from GTX 770m to GTX 980m

About a month ago I decided to upgrade my Clevo P150SM's GPU from my old Nvidia GTX 770m 3GB to a 980m 8GB. After a bit of research that turned up no information to weather or not I would be able to actually get a 980m working in my P150SM which does not have BIOS support for new Maxwell cards. I decided to go ahead and buy one anyway and decided to re-sell it if it was incompatible. I bought my card from Mythlogic for $675, if you would like to buy an MXM card just email them requesting one. My card happened to come with a heatsink although the original 770m heatsink is compatible with the 980m if you add some extra thermal pads where the extra VRM is.
