Got tired of recreating a docker line so I could run some linux commands (looking at you Yafuflash) from within the terminal. Didn’t seem like a good use of the Compose either. Apple kills this off after every update, but being able to use Touch ID for sudo instead of a password is Tier S […]

WTF Apple? Why is this shit necessary. Anyway you can just add the below to your crontab and you shouldn’t have the problem anymore. Basically it restarts the iCal daemon every hour.

Proxmox VMs I got tired of interrupting calls from the trouble and strife (and the rest of the family) that something wasn’t working. Seems to normally be weird edge cases between hardware and software and virtualization, but at least once the virtualized Ubuntu 20.04.4 running Plex has died and the OPNsense router died once too.

So having a dedicated macOS machine to do Time Machine, iMazing, Security Spy, PhotoSync and Printopia sucks so I’ve been using ESXi with macOS running on it. Having grown tired of VMware’s HCL I decided to try Proxmox. Luckily I got to stand on the shoulders of giants to get me started. First Nicholas Sherlock’s […]

Probably not needed soon, but I needed it so here it is. For CentOS 6 add: To your kernel. The OS will take care of setting up getty, etc. That easy. Note that this assumes you want serial on ttyS1 and at 115200. Don’t forget to reboot. CentOS 7/8 add: Don’t forget to run: or, […]

My Foodsaver recently started pulling a vacuum, but not starting the sealing process automatically. Finally pulled it apart to find some extra blood in the works. Pulled out screws here: I’m pretty sure the main issue was with the sensor shown below. I use a Q-tip to rub a little rubbing alcohol on and in […]
