All Linux Things

You hit the nail on the head, Chris. The TimeCapsule is old and times have kind of just moved on. It does work with Windows10/11. So while MS has deprecated SMB1, it appears that it still can use it. On the Apple side of things it uses afp, and the last that Ubuntu supported afp was in 18.04. The af...

Thanks for the pointers, Chris. This TimeCapsule is nowhere near as easy to setup as NextCloud, unless you are using Apple kit, in which case it just sets itself up. Of course NextCloud has a client for just about every OS which sort of sets itself up as well. Apple's TimeCapsule was discontinued in...

I am trying to get Linux to connect to this TimeCapsule/Router, Wireless, NAS thing. Of course Apple devices just see it and use it, Windows sees it as an SMB share, and Linux just complains that either nothing is there, or connection failure.

That video popped up when I visited YouTube this morning and I had to take a look at it. I follow BSD as much as I follow Linux. Last summer I had watched the head of the FreeBSD foundation give her keynote speech. During the speech she thanked the major supporters of the project for their support, ...

I setup the Apple Time Capsule, but have not yet checked on its power consumption. It is pretty nice. I have it setup as its own internal network, with no connection to the outside world.

I went to an estate auction on Saturday with my son. The day before Easter seemed an odd day for an auction. It was chilly and drizzling so there were not many people there. My son wanted to go for a few items that caught his eye in the advertisement. I went for the ride. Misc Box #4 caught my eye. ...

The worse thing that happens to the dishwasher in our house is my fingers get all wrinkly in the water.

Leaking water anywhere is a pain to mess with.

Ars noted that the vulnerability in the compression routines in the xz Utils was included in Debian Testing as well. So many low level utilities are spread across Linux and BSD that minor glitches in the software end up impacting many OSes. I know that xz Utils are part of Mac OS, Haiku also has tha...

I am a firm believer that monster movies really should need to cheesy. I think a person tends to get over monsters when they are about 8 and realize there is nothing under the bed or in the closet. From that point on monsters should be cheesy and fun and remind us of the silly beliefs we once held. ...
