The search for Wireless Charging Stations for Apple products
Requirements The setup is nothing extraordinary: Mac, iPhone, Watch, and probably also AirPods pretty soon, and I’ve totally had enough with all the different chargers and cables and adapters sitting around my bed. I want to get rid of this mess, once and for all. And thus I have 3, seemingly very simple and obvious […]

Cisco ASDM on 64-bit Ubuntu 18.04

Since my /r/crashteamracing post has been removed almost immediately without any reason given, and when I asked about it, I received absolutely no response, I’m going to post my rambling here. I’m a player of the original PSOne CTR (yeah, I’m that old), and I actually managed to reach 100% completion with it on the […]
Local Ubuntu APT repo mirror on CentOS 7 v2
I’ve done this using apt-mirror already, but it turns out, apt-mirror has a few caveats: it’s unmaintained it requires debootstrap + chroot On top of that, I’ve been having issues enabling multi-arch for my repo.

Ubuntu 18.04 UEFI Network Installer
For whatever reason, Canonical thinks this decade-old standard is still optional. Well guess what, it’s not. Many modern systems don’t even have CSM. At all. The workaround is extremely elegant, as always with Ubuntu: grab the mini.iso files, then add the EFI folder from the server ISO to the mix, and that’s it. Lovely, right? […]

Fixing Killing Floor 2 Linux Server Workshop downloads
Update: killinuxfloor 1.1 released with the fix included. I’ve been doing killinuxfloor, an installer for Killing Floor 2 Server on Linux for some time, and Workshop downloads have been troublesome for quite a while. I even raised a ticket with Tripwire about a week ago, but other than the automatic confirmation e-mail, I received zero […]

Hey @MyproteinUK will you not have an Advent calendar this year?
How come @EpicGames never released #jazzjackrabbit 2 for @PlayStation and @Xbox ? It seems like free money to me, I… t.co/pR6oLy3j9H
