The Apple September Event was the other day and like these events always seem to do (and WWDC is no different) is kick up the hornets nest of the Apple haters. This years hot topic: USB-C! All the Apple haters I’ve seen have been spewing the same piece of misinformation over and over: “Apple was …
This is a rant post. If you’re offended by swearing or think Musk is a god, then skip this one. Look. I’m going to be frank. If you’re still on Twitter, or is it X? Who the fuck even knows anymore? You’re a fucking idiot and part of the goddamn problem. Of course, if you …

The title is exactly what it says: Big Tech (Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc.) hate the open web. Why would they hate the open web? Because they now own properties that conflict with the open web. If you’re looking for information on a topic, they’ll show you Wikipedia, YouTube, or some other major website than, say, …
Apple has a pretty big problem with M2 (really, it’s the whole Apple Silicon lineup): it’s too good. What do I mean by it’s too good? Let me explain! See, Intel doesn’t just make a “Intel Core” (or I guess now it’s just “Intel Pentium”) or “Intel Core i3” or “Intel Core i7”. They make …
The day was coming, but I don’t think anyone expected it to happen so soon. I’ve talked with various people at Red Hat over the years and it’s no secret that the Red Hat clones (namely CentOS in previous years, AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux as of late) have been a thorn in their side. While …

This is an argument I keep having with one person on Mastodon about the future of pfSense. As of this blog post, it’s been almost 1 year and 4 months since the last release of pfSense CE. Do you know what has happened in that time? Did you see that last one? PHP 7.4 went …
Back in 2015, the company I was working for at the time was renovating an office that was bought from another organization. This organization used HID iClass readers for their access control system. When my employer started moving into the building, our security company replaced the iClass readers with standard HID prox readers. They left …
Remember those awesome Tux avatars from circa 2010? I certainly do. Back then I kinda found them annoying – probably because they were literally everywhere! But now that I’m older and haven’t really seen them in a decade, every time I come across one, I become very nostalgic. And then I have realized something about …
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 …
