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…

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 –…

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…

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…

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…

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…

The older I get the less I need to keep up with the latest and greatest. This does however lead to a confluence where I sometimes get my tech upgraded all at once. This is happening with my phone and watch within the next week. My watch was bought in September 2020 when we went…

I run a development desktop with 6 monitors, a RHEL server, a desktop Mint with 4 monitors, and a Synology NAS and they are all tied together with a 16-port gig switch. I bought a UPS several years ago and hooked everything up to it. Needless to say the batteries are long since passed and…

I have always been interested in the last meal protocol for death row inmates. To pick a last meal knowing it will be the last food you ever have before death has to be a hard choice. So when I do run across this in the media I like to document it and with that,…

We’ve discovered that you can, by following some really archaic directions, use R in Jupyter Notebooks. So the next step of my educational journey seems to consist of the R programming language which is done (not surprisingly) in R-Studio. As I work through the micro degree on my way to the full size one, I’m…
