  • New Laptop

    I had a really spirited debate with myself on whether or not I should get a new laptop. My current one is a Dell that’s 5 years old and the keyboard is starting to go. Now that should have been about $50 or so but I got to thinking that it’s time for a new…

  • Synology Woes

    So a couple of days ago, we had an issue with the NAS. It was beeping and complaining that it had a power issue and that the data needed to be scrubbed. I got that fixed and up and running again but then today, it crashed, and when it came back up, 3 of the…

  • Changes Afoot

    I took some courses (well one anyways) on WordPress and I’m getting the hang of some of it. To that end, I’m going to be making some changes to the site shortly that will impact navigation, hopefully for the better.

  • Domains Transferred

    So domain registration is just part of life. It’s right up there with death and taxes, well that may be a little exaggerated for standard folk but let’s face it, your domain is an identity. I’m asberry.org the same way I’m Aron Asberry. I have to get my license renewed every so often and it’s…

  • Computer Upgrade Time

    My development rig lost 16GB of ram, it’s so super rare for RAM to go bad but after moving all the 8 DIMMS around, I figured out which pair is causing the issue. So it’s time to replace a couple of DIMMs to get back to 64GB and while I’m at it, let’s go ahead…

  • RIP Rarbg

    I won’t go too deep into what it is/was but if you know it, you’ll know what a loss we’ve incurred. Here was the final sign off from them: Hello guys,We would like to inform you that we have decided to shut down our site.The past 2 years have been very difficult for us –…

  • Computer issue addressed

    Super happy to say that the issue I was having with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux server storage has been fixed and there’s nothing that should be stopping me from proceeding with the development tasks on that box. I have to admit I really enjoy running that server, I know I’m the only one that…

  • RHEL – Gee Ar Umble…

    So when I reformatted the server to Red Hat Enterprise Linux, it was basically a fresh start as I got rid of the SAS drives in favor of SATA, there’s a rant someplace on my tech blog about it. Long story short I accepted all the defaults and got on with the business of getting…

  • YouTube Channel

    So the whole YouTube, Reels, and TicToc phenomenon is kind of lost on me. I can barely remember to take photos when I should let alone put up a video. So fast forward to a week ago, Sandy has figured out how to download video clips of the CCTV and stitch them together to make…

  • Tech Sliding Downhill

    So the best cell phone I ever owned with the Note 3. What made this phone stand out? For starters, it had an accessible and replaceable battery, so you could have two batteries and swap them out, days worth of power without a charger, it was sweet. It also had an IR port, and a…
