+ How to get the zoom video conferencing tool to work on gentoo
+---
+
+The zoom video conderencing tool works on gentoo, but since it is not integrated in a desktop environment on my machine (I am running an i3 window manager) I cannot authenticate on the google corporate domain where I work. Here is how to work
+around that.
+
+## Running the client
+
+{{< highlight yaml >}}
+./ZoomLauncher
+{{< /highlight >}}
+
+## Working around the "zoommtg address not understood" error
+
+When you try to authenticate you will have your web browser pop up with a link it cannot interpret. You need to get the `zoommtg://.*` thing and run it in another ZoomLauncher (do not close the zoom process that spawned this authentication link
+or the authentication will fail :
+{{< highlight yaml >}}
+./ZoomLauncher 'zoommtg://zoom.us/google?code=XXXXXXXX'
+{{< /highlight >}}

+ How to make steam work seamlessly on gentoo with a chroot
+---
+
+I am not using a multilib profile on gentoo (I use amd64 only everywhere), so when the time came to install steam I had to get a little creative. Overall I believe this is the perfect
+way to install and use steam as it self contains it cleanly while not limiting the functionalities. In particular sound works, as does the hardware acceleration in games. I tried to
+achieve that with containers but didn't quite made it work as well as this chroot setup.
+
+[Here is the link to the full article describing how I achieved that.]({{< relref "/docs/gentoo/steam.md" >}})
