bitterness
Many years ago I saw a comment on Slashdot that just exuded raw bitterness. It was so good that I had to save it. Unfortunately, I can’t find the actual comment anymore for the citation, but here is what it said: As someone for whom the precipice of middle age is steps away, it doesn’t…

acme.sh with lighttpd on pihole
# 20220718 – updated with some things I’ve learned since I wrote the original post. # 20240527 – I’m reinstalling pihole from scratch and finding a few things have changed… like lighthttpd not automatically loading mod_openssl and external.conf is not a thing anymore. Updating these instructions as I go along. I’m going to assume you’ve…

distal bicep tear recovery – week 4
Incremental improvements this week. I’m able to use my arm for most tasks again, but I’m still trying to not put any load or weight on it until I get the all clear from my doctor. The follow up appointment is in a few days. My wrist pain is still there as well, but it…

ssd trim on raspberry pi
It took a few minutes of googling around to find instructions for this that work, so I’m going to put some very specific ones here for my future reference. I’ve been attaching SSDs to my RPi 4’s and finding good cables has turned out to be more of a challenge because of lack of proper…

distal bicep tear recovery – week 3
Things are still improving slowly. I’m able to straighten out my arm without much pain anymore and almost turn it palm up. I still have to take it easy with lifting things on it. There still a lot of pain in my wrist when I flex it downwards and I’m beginning to think I may…

distal bicep tear recovery – week 2
Not much changed this week. I’m still in a sling not using my arm as much as possible. The numbness is still there. I can’t tell if it’s getting better. The blood spots from surgery have cleared up significantly and it doesn’t look anywhere as hideous as it did when I got the splint removed…

distal bicep tear recovery – week 1
I tore my left distal bicep on July 26 and had repair surgery on it on the 29th. I’m going to document my recovery here to track progress. There’s a lot of good info here. I can’t say much about my surgical experience as I was put under and have a 4 hour gap when…

timedatectl on rpi
Recently noticed time skew across my workstations and servers at home and put together a Stratum-1 NTP server for the local network using the Adafruit Ultimate GPS hat and an RPi 4. I’ll post the write up later. In the meantime, here are the commands I’m using to point all the rest of my RPis…

Migration complete
Migrated to a new web host today and everything went pretty smooth. Used the Duplicator plugin to move the blog over. I ended up having to get the pro version because I set this up as multisite a long time ago when there were multiple users. It was only $79, worked flawlessly, and saved me…

vSphere 6.5 Upload Fails
Let me start by saying this: I hate VCSA 6.5. I hate the fact that I have to use Flash (which EVERYONE is dropping support for) to manage my enterprise environment. Flash and Java… good riddance. I didn’t even realize I didn’t have Flash installed until I had to manage this stupid thing and needed…

Windows 10 1607 IPv6 DHCP Clients
Noticed IPv6 DHCP was broken on all my Windows 10 clients after I upgraded to the anniversary edition (1607). Had to run a couple powershell commands to get them pulling addresses: Wired: Set-NetIPInterface ethernet -AddressFamily ipv6 -RouterDiscovery Enabled Set-NetIPInterface ethernet -AddressFamily ipv6 -ManagedAddressConfiguration Enabled Wireless: Set-NetIPInterface wi-fi -AddressFamily ipv6 -RouterDiscovery Enabled Set-NetIPInterface wi-fi -AddressFamily ipv6…

Open Live Writer
I’ve been a longtime fan of Windows Live Writer for many years. Alas, it has been unsupported for many moons and I haven’t been able to get it working with SSL. The good news is that Microsoft decided to release WLW to the open source community. The even better news is that someone has forked…
