Learning Administration Together

A fresh start after my move

Well, it's certainly been a while since I updated on my lab.  To be honest, there haven't been many major changes.  My senior project finished well, although it was only 80% complete.  My advisor said that's to be expected and it happens a lot, so I ended up passing the …

When I originally found Void it was something new and exciting to play with, and I was more interested in BSD than I am now.  After using it for about 8 months, the honeymoon phase has worn off and I'm less enamored with the distro than I was previously.  Runit …

It's definitely been a while since I last posted, I'll admit that up front.  Classes have kept me pretty busy, and until recently I hadn't really made progress on any projects that I've started.  The most I was able to do for a while was tinker around on my laptop …

As I mentioned in my previous post, I found out that my Windows installation was all sorts of screwed up.  Even though I was using an SSD to house Windows, it somehow messed up its own installation and put its own bootloader on my Western Digital Green HDD.  Given that …

Well, I finally did something worth making any kind of a post about.  After some fussing, I installed Void Linux on my desktop - and the problem wasn't installing the system itself.  As it turns out, my EFI bootloader is a mess and Void wasn't being provided an entry in the …

Sorry for the lack of updates, between several family events, adjusting to my current internship, and simply being bad at writing blog posts, this has simply fallen off the to-do list recently.  However, here's an idea of what I'll be looking into and writing about:
