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…

Code Project – Powershell + AI – Downloading My GOG Library the Easy Way

With all of the recent controversy about games getting censored for content, not necessarily against the law, but that other private companies have decided is "questionable", I decided it might be a good idea to backup all of my Good Old Games (GOG) titles. Especially since I now have my new 10TB drive to dump them on. Because of course, GOG sells it's games without DRM. I started to do this manually, but it's incredibly tedious. Surely someone has a script, and sure enough, they have (Link). It works well enough. It's a single file, which is nice. It needed…

Code Project – Python + AI – Vibe Coding with Claude.ai – Social Media Poster with Poster

I think it's Vibe Coding. I don't even know WTF Vibe Coding is honestly. This is just, coding with AI, some more. I will fully admit that while I am skeptical of AI in general, i do use it. I guess I am mildly hypocritical like that,. I'm not going through every step of code here, though I will post the finished script. What I set out to do, was to build an automation tool for posting to social media. I will probably work on making some better input tools, but for now, it works fine for posting, and could…

Code Project – Python + AI – Porting Playlists With Python

I had a brief sting last year where I was using Spotify, but I dumped it, mostly for financial reasons, but also because as much as I like the ability to just, listen to whatever, I kind of dislike the whole "Music as a service" aspect. I can still find new stuff via Youtube and then add it to my list of "Albums to maybe buy eventually". One thing I lost though was my Playlists. I was worried they were just gone, soon after logging in, I swear they hd just vanished, but checking now, they seem to all be…
