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…

Weekly Wrap Up (2025.08.02)

I didn't post last week, and almost didn't this week, it's been a bit of a slow non eventful couple of weeks. Nothing really new going on at all. But it's Blaugust, so I should post, because it's kind of "easy filler". Life Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat, Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat, Eat, Sleep, Work, Repeat… Not quite as fun as raving I suppose. I've had a bit of interesting excitement going on at work that I really probably can't really discuss, so that's fun. Not much exciting honestly. I finally got around to putting up actual netting around the little…

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.

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. Anyway, I don't have a plan, I rarely do anymore,…

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…

What I’ve Been Up To (2025.07.19)

Its been a busy week this week. Days off always screw me up. On Tuesday I was off and ordered dishwasher tabs on Amazon because no one carries the ones we use in town anymore (orange gel packs). It says "Deliver tomorrow". I thought "I kind of hate having some delivery person working Sunday but we are out of them. Then the next morning I was putting dishes in the dishwasher thinking, "No wait, I guess yesterday (Tuesday) was Sunday, because I am going to work today, so the next day thing isn't so bad." "Wait, its Wednesday." I had…
