I hate to say this but Linux software is not perfect. I know, I know, but nothing could possibly be wrong with openSUSE, right? Well, Linux and all the open source tools are created by people and since we are flawed, so are our creations. Sometimes, things can slip through the quality assurance process at … Continue reading Power Cycling PCIe Devices from the Command Line
NetRunner (19.08) is not one of those distributions I hear touting its uniqueness and wonders loudly on the Internet. As part of a two week challenge for BigDaddyLinux Live, I lassoed an ISO and took it for a spin on a VM. Some may argue that a VM doesn't make for a good test experience … Continue reading NetRunner | Review from an openSUSE User
This is nothing more than a placeholder post and an announcement of a somewhat embarrassing example of my poor video editing abilities. I previously created a blathering about getting the Commodore 64 on the Internet with IRC and step by step instructions but under the pressure of one person (see how easily I am swayed). … Continue reading Commodore 64 on the Internet with IRC | YouTube Edition

Manjaro has not left a foul taste in any way. In full disclosure, I am … Continue reading Manjaro | Review from an openSUSE User
My 6th noodling might be my longest noodling yet. It started out a bit light but then after reading I just got a bit too excited. If you want to skip to the end where I do a little self-deprecation and ignore the meat of it, that is very understandable. The 6th Noodling can be … Continue reading Noodlings 6 | Symphony, Power Tools and Storage
This laptop of mine that I purchased just over two years ago has the ability to have 3 storage devices. I have previously described what I've done in it with an mSATA and the 2.5" SSD. Between the two, I have 995 GiB of storage, 101 GiB for root using the mSATA and 894 GiB … Continue reading Three Drives on my Dell Latitude E6440 | Cuz Two Isn’t Enough
This is my fifth noodling and I did cut a few things. I will be playing with the length but this is about 13 minutes of my nonsense to chip tunes. The 5th noodling installment can be found here Commodore 64 IRC Success I was able to get my Commodore 64 under its own power … Continue reading Noodlings 5 | Building and Converting
The Commodore 64 was my first computer and as such, now holds a special place in my heart and probably forever more, or at least until I lose my mind completely. In all the years I had a C64, I never visited a BBS as I didn't get that bit of tech until I got … Continue reading Commodore 64 on the Internet | IRC
