Fix a MYSQL Update Issue

I don't have a lot to say here, but it's worth saying, because all of the solutions I found online, did not work, but I found the issue, or at least my issue, and it was what I suspected. I kept getting issues with updates on my Linux PC, specifically related to MYSQL/Maria 8.0. Probably other versions as well. All of the solutions I found online were basically just, "apt-remove, apt-purge, apt-clean, reinstall". Which id not work. The full error is something like this. dpkg: error processing package mysql-server-8.0 (--configure): installed mysql-server-8.0 package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status…

Project – Raspberry Pi – Webcam Project and Updating Pihole

On my little list of projects, I mentioned a webcam set up. My wife asked me about something for monitoring the cats while we are out. The ideal place would be in the front room area. I have plenty of Pis floating around and an extra Logitech cam, but I also already have one Pi in that area running my PiHole. There isn't any reason I couldn't attach the cam, to that Pi. It ended up being a bit more work than expected, but not really for any negative reasons. I found an easy guide for setting up Motion on…

Game Hacking – Installing Homebrew on my 3DS

Man, talk about some monkey paw ass shit. I have finally after wanting to do it for, a good while now, installed Homebrew on my 3DS. The process is relatively simple, or more it SHOULD be relatively simple. I followed this guide here. I'm linking that page instead of the actual guide I used because the methods vary based on operating system, 3DS Model, Software version, etc. So for more clarity, I followed THIS guide, for my New 3DS with up to date software. The process should have been easy but I ran into a few issues. Specifically, after installing…

Water Bottle

I keep telling myself, one day I will have a more "healthy lifestyle". I've made some attempts to move this direction for a while, but It never really feels like it's getting anywhere. I go without soda, I try to eat less carbs, I walk more, I try to get myself to actually do workouts. One thing is drinking more water. Something that helped quite a lot with this was getting a decent water bottle, which kind of happened rather serendipitously. Occasionally, I get random, stuff, I guess, for lack of a better thing to call it from work. Sometimes…

Various Projects

Partly for my own organization (ha ha) I wanted to run down some projects I have been doing or hope to do soon. GOG Download Its taken like a week and a half, but I have finally finished downloading roughly 500 games, 2TB of files, for all of the games I own on GOG. I have even installed an played a few of them. Interestingly enough, they snap right into the GOG launcher, which is nice. Now that I've run it once I can just do an update then download to get any updates and new games once a month…
