This year I attended EuroBSDCon 2024 in Dublin. I always appreciate an excuse to head over to Ireland, and this seemed like a great chance to spend some time in Dublin and learn new things. Due to constraints on my time I didn’t go to the 2 day devsummit that precedes the conference, only the main event itself. The ...

Posted on Sep 26, 2024 By copyninja under devops In my previous post, I mentioned that Lockdown mode is activated when Secure Boot is enabled. One way to override this was to use a self-compiled upstream kernel. However, sometimes we might want to use the distribution kernel itself. This post explains how to disable...

I have just setup a PiKVM, here’s the Amazon link for the KVM hardware (case and Pi hat etc) and here’s an Amazon link for a Pi4 to match. The PiKVM web site has good documentation [1] and they have a YouTube channel with videos showing how to assemble the devices [2]. It’s really convenient being able to change the...

During COVID companies suddenly found themselves able to offer remote working where it hadn’t previously been on offer. That’s changed over the past 2 or so years, with most places I’m aware of moving back from a fully remote situation to either some sort of hybrid, or even full time office attendance. For example l...

Back in the day (mid 2000’s) ReiserFS was my go to Linux filesystem, it was fast & reliable. But then after its creator went to jail, which coincided with release of ext4 in 2008. I made a switch to ext4 and never even thought about switching to any other filesystem on my laptops/workstations. That is until I read t...

After years on the waiting list, May First was just given a /24 block of IP addresses. Excellent. Now we want to start using them for, among other things, sending email. I haven’t added a new IP address to our mail relays in a while and things seems to change regularly in the world of email so I’m curious: what’s th...

The Book That Broke the World is high fantasy and a direct sequel to The Book That Wouldn't Burn. You should not start here. In a delightful break from normal practice, the author provides a useful summary of the previous volume at the start of this book to jog your memory. At the end of The Book That Wouldn't Burn,...

The Wings Upon Her Back is a political steampunk science fantasy novel. If the author's name sounds familiar, it may be because Samantha Mills's short story "Rabbit Test" won Nebula, Locus, Hugo, and Sturgeon awards. This is her first novel. Winged Zemolai is a soldier of the mecha god and the protege of Mecha Voday...

I previously blogged about the difficulties in getting a good Wifi mesh network setup [1]. I bought the Kogan AX1800 Wifi6 Mesh with 3 nodes for $140, the price has now dropped to $130. It’s only Wifi 6 (not 6E which has the extra 6GHz frequency) because all the 6E ones were more expensive than I felt like paying. I...

I've a set of Alesis M1Active 330 USB on my desk to listen to music. They were relatively inexpensive (~100€), have USB and sound pretty good for their size/price. They were also sitting on my desk unused for a while, because the left speaker didn't produce any sound. Well, almost any. If you'd move the volume knob ...
