Came across this issue recently after having some work done on my house to put in new electrical circuits to load balance my home office for some new equipment and thought I’d share in case anyone runs into this in the future. About 2 weeks ago I had some electrical work done on my house and had two new outlet drops added in my home office so I can install some much needed equipment. Together w...

On machines with older Pentium M ™ and Celeron M ™ processors, there is an extra requirement to get Linux installed, I’ve encountered this mainly with Linux Lite as that is the OS of choice I use for older systems.

On my wall of monitors that are hard mounted on my wall, I had one unused monitor that is in vertical (Portrait) mode that I wanted to use to plug in a server I was building out. Having to twist my head to work on the server was not going to cut it and neither was removing all the monitors around it so I can take it down or move my connections around. I had to find a way to make this work as it...

I recently had some issues with networking on a computer and one advice I got was to check the MTU setting. This isn’t something that one would normally need to mess with but it does apparently come up every now and again and there isn’t much information on how to do this unless you are a network engineer. Looking online I came across this old tutorial that is no longer available and thought I...

We’ve all gotten to the point where our computer needs a refresh, happens with Windows, it happens with Linux and it sure as heck happens with macOS as well. Either you mess something up, it’s starting to show its age or you are planning on selling it or giving it away. This article will cover how to create an install media as well as wipe and reinstall macOS, it will not go over backing up yo...
