In Windows Server 2012 R2 I used the standard dfrgui.exe to turn the scheduled optimization on. After several months I looked at the Defrag UI again and noticed that drives were never optimized since I left the machine unattended.

I’ve recently installed a dual boot of Windows 11 with Debian 12 on my laptop. It was working fine but one time my laptop discharged when I was running windows. When I connected the charger to my laptop and started the machine Windows crashed showing the code MICROCODE_REVISION_MISMATCH. Debian is […]

Getting the question up front: I’m thinking about assigning a bunch of static ipv6 addresses to my container host, then mapping each of those to my containers.

2 NICs connected to same router. Speedtest 1: When connected via ethernet only, I get 100Mbps up/download speed. When connected via WiFi 5GHz only, I get 300Mbps upload (capped by my internet service), 150Mbps download speed. Speedtest 2: I look into my router’s interface statistics table (Mikrotik HAP AX2). When […]

Visual Studio Code will not start. I tried killall code; code --verbose --user-data-dir=/tmp/remote --disable-gpu --no-extensions (/tmp/remote is a new empty directory) to get some diagnostics; however there is no output. It just hangs forever. I tried running that through strace -f to see if it’s something jammed; the bare output […]
