Finders is a far future science fiction novel with cyberpunk vibes. It is the first of a series, but the second (and, so far, only other) book of the series is a prequel. It stands alone reasonably well (more on that later). Cassilde Sam is a salvor. That means she specializes in exploring ancient wrecks and ruins l...

I just bought a Hisense 65U80G 65″ Inch 8K ULED Android TV (2021 model) for $1,568 including delivery. I got that deal by googling refurbished 8K TVs and finding the cheapest one I could buy. Amazon and eBay didn’t have any good prices on second hand 8K TVs and new ones start at $3,000 on special. I didn’t assess ho...

It runs Debian nicely and the basic functions all work, but the problem I’m having now is that AldiMobile (Telstra) and KoganMobile (Vodafone) don’t enable VoLTE for that and all the Australian telcos have turned ...

Right now playing with minikube, to run a three nodes highly available Kubernetes control plane. I am using the docker driver of minikube, so each Kubernetes node component is running inside a docker container, instead of using full blown VMs. In my experience this works better than Kind, as using Kind you cannot co...

The most frequently asked question from people getting to know Firebuild was if it worked on their Mac and the answer sadly used to be that well, it did, but only in a Linux VM. This was far from what they were looking for. 🙁 Li...
