After spending some quality time with my Pinebook Pro, I decided that I wanted something slightly more powerful for my personal laptop. While most of my heavy-lifting in the world of computers is done with my MacBook Pro for work (which was recently upgraded to a device featuring the new M1 chips; look for more… Continue reading Star Lite Mk III

Ubuntu Linux GRUB Error After 20.04 Upgrade
While I’ve nuked my personal VPS, I still have a VPS that I use for work; it comes in handy for things like running cron jobs, maintaining persistent shells, and generally handling things where a Linux shell seems better than a macOS shell (I’m looking at you, remote PowerShell sessions connecting to Microsoft Exchange.)

Swapfile Fix on Manjaro Linux Pinebook Pro
I wrote about a month ago of an update on my Pinebook Pro after switching to Manjaro Linux.

Today I ran… Continue reading Swapfile Fix on Manjaro Linux Pinebook Pro
Pinebook Pro Follow-up: Manjaro Linux
I had written in early February about my Pinebook Pro laptop after roughly a month of using it.

Unusually Pink Impressions: Acer Chromebook 315
As we’ve mentioned in a few podcast episodes, I happen to be a fan of Chromebooks. I have a hulking desktop that I use for things like gaming, programming, and photo editing. That same desktop is also extremely loud and generates enough heat to warm my apartment, whether it needs to be warmed or not.… Continue reading Unusually Pink Impressions: Acer Chromebook 315
Fixing Let’s Encrypt Certificates After You Delete Them Like An Idiot
In Episode 11, I had discussed how I run a couple of my websites on a Linux server running Nginx as the web server and encrypting connections to them via Let’s Encrypt certificates. Shortly after recording that episode, though, I realized I had messed up my certificate configuration via certbot. If you don’t recall the… Continue reading Fixing Let’s Encrypt Certificates After You Delete Them Like An Idiot
