Loose Ends Fraying
I’m not sure I can tie up all the loose ends to my own satisfaction. There’s a sense in which getting older means you’ve learned some things don’t really matter. There have been a lot of stuff I was willing … Continue reading

Just a Tech Note
For those who have any use for my technology writing, I wanted to report that Manjaro is not ready for prime time. I ran it for two weeks on my Dell Inspiron 15-3000 series of recent manufacture and it was … Continue reading
We Are Terrorists
Here’s what I actually believe about the vaccine push: It has very little to do with what the vaccine might do to us, and everything to do with a wealth transfer and government power. Big Pharma has long been a … Continue reading

A Brief Intermission
I’m not hiding. This is one of those rare times when there’s very little to say until something changes. Sure, a few minor details have changed: I got my handlebars raised until I’m sitting nearly upright. It was necessary to … Continue reading

Followup to Battle Stations
Ref: Battle Stations? Not Yet Here’s the fallout: My desktop is running Win10, which is what came with it. My laptop is running Xubuntu 19.10, which is very close to what came with it. I don’t have to tweak either … Continue reading
Running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
I’ve switched my desktop from Xubuntu to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. That’s how I spent a good chunk of yesterday. I won’t bother explaining why; it wouldn’t make much sense to anyone but me. However, keep in mind that I claim such … Continue reading
Linux on HP Pavilion 590-p0044
First, perform due diligence. You need a Linux distro with a recent kernel to handle the Vega 11 graphics. I tested Ubuntu 19.04, Xubuntu 19.04 and OpenSUSE Leap 15.1. These three all handled it just fine, but Xubuntu was the … Continue reading
