Welcome to my $HOME. Take off your shoes and stay a while.

This site will probably be mostly geared towards my armature radio activities I got licensed in 2018 and shortly after upgraded to general in 2019. Some of my other interests are motorcycle, computers, drones, space, quantum, Nikola Tesla and general history
Vim accessibility

Vim accessibility features

When my hands get bad Vim helps to me keep working. It鈥檚 also modular in a sense that there are plugins for most common tools for Vim like bindings. Even for the likes of whole window managers with the Vim bindings! You can effectively turn your mouse into a door stop. 馃惌 It sure makes the experience more enjoyable and efficient. I do not code much at all anymore. I had a linter installed on my main machine. It was not ale either. I went looking for it but I can鈥檛 find it. Blog posts are good about keeping things where you can maybe look up later. ...

TrueNAS mini

FreeBSD kernel modules

Many years ago I changed the default IPMI password for my TrueNAS mini from iXsystems. They no longer are developing the FreeBSD based version TrueNAS Core. I decided to switch to vanilla FreeBSD. I ended up finding in the Wiki linked below. You have to load the IPMI kernel module manually! That鈥檚 why I enjoy running the system vanilla bare metal. It only loads the minimum. After I loaded the module I was able to reset the password with ipmitool. You can see it listed as number 13 below. ...

Memorial Day 2025

I was laying in bed today and I got a text from a random number. It was of some kids and my buddies grave. Suddenly I got the impulse to go see him. Alzie had already asked me if I wanted to ride today anyways. 馃槅 I texted him and he quickly said he was down. It鈥檚 been three or four years since I鈥檝e been there. It was dark by the time we got back home but it was worth it. I hope I don鈥檛 hurt too bad tomorrow. 馃槦 ...

Onions anybody???

Oniux tor via Linux namespaces

For many years I鈥檝e ran a relay for the Tor project. Some people say it鈥檚 bad. It can be used for good and evil. The same as any other tool. Hetzner used to give me 20TB a month but they ended up turning that down to 2TB per month. For a $5/Month service that seems to be the norm for US, that I鈥檝e found. Oniux via rust I noticed a post about Oniux on Mastodon. Is this the same concept that FreeBSD uses for Jails? I recall hearing namespace in the handbook and FreeBSD Mastery: Jails! Go get some of his books so he can buy some food for his rats. He has great skill to break down topics simply. All the books are DRM free you can get them here. ...
