Mission Accomplished-ish

For various search purposes, this is my experience trying to replace the Window Regulator and motor on a 2015 Chevy Sonic. Maybe, a month or two ago, my passenger side car window started having issues rolling up and down. It usually would be that the driver's side controls would not work, so. I would lean over and hit the passenger side controls. It gotten worse a couple of weeks ago. It rolled down for the drive to work, it would not roll up again using any buttons. I went about searching online for a solution, and found that the most…

Welcome to Blaugust 2025 – Introduction

Welcome to Blaugust, and the day one post here for the event. If you know me, then this whole post will just feel like a redundant sort of trip down memory lane. But that's what I do I guess. Wax nostalgia at things of the past. Maybe? I really don't know anymore. I just kind of, write what comes to mind. Nostalgia is such a vicious creature, another way to say that you fear the future.-- Work of Fiction by Lauren Mayberry I just love that quote from that song.

Linux Move Complete!

I mentioned a few hanging issues on my move to Linux (again) and I'm happy to say that all of them have been fairly easily resolved and completed. Now I can move on to doing more again.

I managed to sort that out and map the drives to automatically mount, which meant I could move on the adding them to sharing things with Samba again. I did end up having to rebuild the Docker drive interim, though it…

Windows 10 End of Life

The end of life for Windows 10 is almost upon us, but in this case, for me, its the actual END of life. I finally just bit the bullet and wiped it out on my secondary project desktop. It was less painful than expected, though I still have some clean up things to do. My main worry was how to migrate my docker set up from the Windows 10 GUI to a CLI based Docker in Ubuntu. I realized I could easily test this using WSL within Windows, which I did. I was surprised to find that I could simply,…

Blaugust 2025

Despite that I can barely keep myself motivated to post even weekly, I went ahead end signed up again for Blaugust. I did it the first year on [BloggingIntensifies] and last year on Lameazoid, and now they are one blog, so technically I did it twice here, and this will be my third year. I'm not going in with any plans. I may post once per week. Even doing some of the suggested topics feels a little cheesy because I've already done the basic "Who am I, what is Blaugust," etc topics two years now. Maybe it could motivate me…
