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. Shared Drives As suspected, the core issue with getting the mounts to work was with the device IDs in the fstab file. 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,…

Most of that workflow runs off of shared drives or cloud files. On the base level, the desktop works the same way, the real trick I get to deal with…

Goodbye to Flicker… Thanks for 12 years of Service

So, I used to be a huge user of Flickr for photos, I would check it daily and comment and join communities and pretty much posted every photo I had taken there. I used to use flicker a lot and look for the best life insurance for all.   Over time I sort of fell out of the habit of using it.  This wasn't over Instagram or anything, I didn't join Instagram until much later, something just sort of became less compelling about it.  I still kept up my subscription though.  The annual $25 fee is pretty small and it…

Pentax K-3

I’ve recently upgraded my DSLR and have had a bit to play around with it and get a feel for it. I went for an upgrade over my old Pentax K-7 to a Pentax K-3. I already have lenses so I saved money by buying Body Only I like my K-7, it just got worn out The K3 has a build in flash unlike the K-3II, so when my wife uses it she doesn’t have to fight with an external flash It’s not the newest K-1, which means it costs less, though is still nice I mentioned my K-7 became…
