  • Arch Linux Printer Install

    Friday, January 8, 2021

    Introduction I’m glutton for punishment. A couple months ago I took my stable and user friendly Ubuntu Linux install and replaced it with Arch Linux. Why? Please see the first sentence. Since then it’s been running really well. There’s a manual step to update things like Microsoft Edge and Microsoft Visual Studio Code because they come from the Arch User Repository (AUR). Today when I was updating Microsoft Edge I lost all my open tabs.…more

  • Why You Should Use Windows 10 Administration in 2021

    Sunday, December 20, 2020

    Introduction I have been having a lot of fun over on my YouTube channel building out videos for various topics including new features in the Windows Insider builds. However, this isn’t my first time doing videos. I have done a couple of courses for Packt Publishing. One of them is Windows 10 Administration. The course has 6 main sections that take you on a whirlwind journey through Windows 10 Administration. It starts with configuring Windows 10, but I don’t just talk about setting it up.…more

  • Kubernetes Cluster on Raspberry Pi 3

    Friday, October 9, 2020

    There are a lot of guides on the internet describing how to build a Kubernetes Cluster on a Raspberry Pi. I’ve followed quite a few of them to build my cluster. A lot of those guides are out of date now since I want to continue using my Raspberry Pi 3 hardware. Last weekend I embarked on a journey to rebuild my cluster. I’m going to try and report the journey to you now.…more

  • Windows Printer Install

    Friday, June 5, 2020

    A few months ago I was marveling at how easy it was to install my aging HP printer on Linux. Really it even got easier with Ubuntu 20.04. Astonished. So by comparison, here are the steps required to install that same printer on Windows 10. Go to Settings and type Printers & Scanners Click the button that reads “Add a printer or scanner” Wait for it to scan for a printer.…more

  • Build 2020 Part 2

    Sunday, May 24, 2020

    Microsoft Build Conference 2020 Oh My! I totally forgot my favorite parts of Build in my last blog post. Read on to learn more. WSL2 WSL2 is part of Windows 10 v2004 that came out this month. With it comes a full fledged Linux kernel. It’s amazing and fast. In the Linux file system you’ll see speed improvements of 60%. But that’s not all. At Build they announced that GPU pass through, DirectX 12 on WSL, and most importantly Linux GUI is coming this year to WSL!…more

  • Intel NUC 10

    Sunday, May 3, 2020

    I have been using an old Gigabyte Brix computer for about 7 years as a secondary computer. Mostly I use it on my Twitch stream to keep track of the chat. It does the job, but if I tried to do too many things at once with it, it would bog down and run really slow. It maxed out at 16GB of RAM and I had a 256GB mSATA drive in it.…more

  • Custom WSL Image

    Sunday, March 8, 2020

    Windows Subsystem for Linux (also known as WSL) is a system where you can run a Linux distribution inside Windows. This is great in that you can run any command line application in Windows. Version 1 of WSL did this using a translation layer between the Linux system and the Windows side. Version 2, which is part of version 2004 of Windows 10, uses an actual Linux kernel to do the work.…more

  • Cloning a Drive

    Monday, February 24, 2020

    One of the things you have to live with being a technologist is that you inevitably do tech support for family. My recent vacation to the Pacific Northwest was no exception. This time my aunt’s computer was out of disk space. We ordered a new 250GB Crucial M.2 drive to replace the existing 32GB eMMC drive that was in her computer. Easy right? Just open the computer, slap the new drive in it, copy the contents from the old drive to the new drive and then resize the partition.…more
