dpdk 22.03 rpm packages for Fedora 36: a dependency of openvswitch
I meant to post this over a month ago, but got sidetracked, so I’m coming in a little late. Unfortunately, it looks like even though Fedora 36 has officially been released, the dpdk 22.03 rpms still aren’t available. Back when I compiled these, I realized there were no official dpdk 22.03 rpms available in the…

Run Windows Store (UWP) App on Startup – the EASY way
I am building a dedicated TV viewing VM for HDHomeRun View using Windows IoT 2021 LTSC, so I can watch TV while using a computer running Linux with the smallest possible KVM-QEMU VM I can possibly put together. That’s because, unfortunately, the app I have to use is only available in Windows, and only through…

Recent posts to message boards
I haven’t had time to write lately, but I have made a few notable posts on message boards I thought I’d include here for reference: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/adding-slog-freenas-will-not-boot-with-m-2-optane-800p-passthrough-in-esxi-6-7-vm.79206/#post-674140 https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Convert-hard-drive-into-VMWare-virtual-machine/m-p/2885130#M173194

Do you use both Visual Studio Code and Sublime Text 3?
If so, wouldn’t you like both their keyboard shortcuts to be consistent? I personally am using both Visual Studio Code and Sublime Text 3 on my main dev laptop. Once I got used to all the nice features in a pseudo-IDE text editor like VS Code, it became hard to go back to editing things…

Creating a local HTTPS server for Create-React-App using nginx and certbot in WSL2: Works for BOTH npm start AND npm build
Note: This article has some interesting WSL-centric material, like how to: Set up bridge networking without Hyper-V Find the UWP Ubuntu executable to run Linux commands outside of a WSL terminal Create automatic startup tasks without systemd init system Expose your (domain-enabled) dev environment to certbot/letsencrypt for automatic issuance of SSL certificates Use nginx proxy…

Easiest WSL2 Bridge Network (without Hyper-V Virtual Network Manager)
I am testing certbot locally with Create-React-App, but I’m using WSL2. Little did I know, the networking for Ubuntu in WSL2 is a little strange when coming from your typical systemd-network, NetworkManager, ifupdown, <insert your favorite networking API> Apparently, the networking is taken care of in the lxssManager service (you can reveal it / restart…

Fetch a file from a Clonezilla image without restoring to disk
I thought this was neat, but I got the info from a site that presented it in a way that was a bit difficult to decipher, so I wanted to pass it on in a presentation that is easier to understand. If you’re not using CloneZilla, you’re definitely missing out. It’s a super easy way…

Compiling and installing GitHub’s Hub Utility in msys2
So I’ve been liking msys2 so far. I’ve replaced the default git install with msys2’s utilities in C:\tools\msys64\usr\bin and they seem to work from Windows command prompt just fine, except for bash, which complains of cygwin1.dll mismatch, but that’s OK, I’ll just run the msys2_shell.cmd which is how it’s intended to be used anyway (inside…

man command in Windows possible (?)
Continuing along in my series about how to make Windows more palatable for Linux users, one thing that’s been more difficult to find a workaround for is the man command For about an hour, I went on a wild goose chase for some sort of alternative in Windows, and found relatively little. I discovered a…

More ways to help Linux users hate Windows less
Ok, so obviously if you hate Windows, you probably just shouldn’t be using it. But what if you love the way Linux operates, but have a plethora of Windows-only applications you have to have at your fingertips at any moment’s notice? Here are some ways the discerning Linux user who’s stuck by vendor lock-in can…
