I have Xfinity and like to watch live TV over the Apple TV Xfinity Stream app, but with my multi-WAN setup AT&T’s 5Gb Fiber is my preferred ISP. To get around this I route requests to various Comcrap servers via that Xfinity connection. I found Eric’s great post that got me started. Recently I got […]

I lost this before. Use the fn key when selecting text in vi and you’ll be able to use ⌘ command-c to your hearts content.

I’ve tried to update Netbox several times recently and had various errors. Fun errors like Container netbox-docker-netbox-1 Error don’t help a lot. To update I use: Seems like the version transition isn’t working as the last 3 updates all broke for various reasons. Given that the Netbox Docker setup uses Postgres I now do the […]

Apple released their new commercial touting the ability to use Precise Location to find you contact’s iPhone 15. If you see “Find Unavailable” even if you both have iPhone 15s the only fix I’ve found that works reliably is to remove the contact and then add them again. It appears to time out after a […]

I’m writing this because I couldn’t find anything specific and definitive that described how this should work and Comcrap used to provide next to nothing on the configuration.

Why the fuck they don’t just have a button to do this like VMware I don’t know. Probably a German thing. Either way there is no GUI way to enable a maintenance mode, BUT there is a sneaky and useable way from the command line. To disable “start at boot” without manually changing the VMs […]

Step one is to update the disk size for the VM. This is easily done in the GUI. Select your VM on the left, click on “Hardware,” choose the virtual disk you want to resize, and then select the “Disk Action” menu from the top. From here select “Resize” as per the below: This should […]

Want to talk to your local CVS pharmacist, but can’t or don’t want to wade through the endless IVR? Use 8001 through 8005 to ring the pharmacy extension directly as soon as the IVR picks up. 8001 is usually enough, but YMMV.

I cam across this on macOS 13.5 (Ventura). Basically Shimo would connect, but then it could not pass any traffic. A reboot fixed it every time, but was painful at times. First thing I did was check the Preferences and enable “Reset Network Configuration when Shimo is terminated” under the Advanced tab. That and pushing […]

Or don’t. I don’t care. Fuck you. If you decide to not get fucked by too many drives dying and killing your Ceph cluster because you missed SMART errors the command to run to check end-to-end is:
