Almost two years ago, I bought a Dell Latitude 7390 off of ebay. I love this little laptop! It’s perfect in almost every way… except when it comes to Linux. I’ve been struggling to get Linux to load on this thing since I’ve owned it. The one problem that seems to be occurring is that …
Or how to download a Windows ISO from Microsoft without using the ‘Create Media Tool’ Or how to bypass a “This website was only designed for Chrome because our developers forgot what the Internet was like in 1999” block Often, I find myself needing a Windows ISO. Thanks to Microsoft’s change in heart (or maybe …

Lately, I’ve been doing some more programming in Java since I’ve been doing more in PHP and C#. What can I say, I have a thing for the C Family of languages. Maybe it’s the semicolon? Or lack of caring about whitespace? Anyways, I’ve been doing some more in Java. And I’ve been enjoying it. …
I’m writing this post after needing to step away from a heated debate I was having earlier on Mastodon. I’m not going to repeat it all verbatim, but the gist was that new numbers are in. While user accounts have surged, thanks to Musk, a million or so have no activity – meaning either they …

Even more so, his ridiculous cult following is made up of people who think if they worship the ground he walks on, he’ll bless them with self-driving. His rockets are also nothing …

A few days ago, NodeSpace offered this interesting challenge on Twitter: So here I am, putting my money where my mouth is and taking this challenge. I’m not even an hour in and the results are… interesting. A little surprising, but definitely interesting. Going all in on IPv6 For this challenge, I setup a separate …
Hey IPv6 nerds: this blog post is a simplification of SLAAC, RA, NDP, and EUI-64 to help the IPv6 learners and IPv6 deniers begin to understand IPv6. Don’t get all smart-assy because it turns people away from learning. Remember, this was once a new and strange concept to you too! Plus, the more people we …
