For what it's worth: the first language I was paid to write in was PHP. I got pulled into the shadiest fly-by-night web services company that wrote one-off security nightmare bespoke CMS'es for local businesses. I didn't so much leave as crawl out from the wreckage and start selling Drupal […]

Battery in the UPS at the head of my dead died tonight... Had the decency to die before bed, unlike the battery in the UPS at the foot of my bed, which died at 4 AM earlier this week. Someday I am going to die painfully in a house fire. Just know that I lived true to myself.

I have an old Xeon server with an nvidia Quadro P2000 that I put ProxMox on and managed to hack the drivers so that VMs could do 3D rendering. It wasn't great but it was pretty cool. Now if I want to update it, I need to figure out how to get all that to work again on Trixe. So... I'll just […]

I was kinda hoping the Motif and Win32 layout algorithms would be more similar, but... it's progress... maybe... I feel like this should be more brittle than it seems to be so far. I wish someone smarter than me and better at programming cared about this […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

A Windows NT Win32 window with 3D chiseled buttons and an inset area laid out inside of three rows. The bottom row is green but the top row and margins are red.

[netbsd, partitioning] @aburka @linear I haven't tried the installer due to my need for encryption... I wonder if the "format the slice, extract the sets, image the boot sector" method for installing works in a logical partition. I *feel* like it *should* but we all know how much that's worth!

When I got this Thinkpad T580 from my job, it came with a dock that caused it to BSOD every few hours under Windows 10. I've been using that dock with my junkheap-built Thinkpad Yoga under Debian for the past few months with no issues. Today I tried to get it to work with the same T580 from work […]

[netbsd] @aburka Ah! Then your boot loader is fucked. That's easier to fix. Just gotta boot back into the ol' rescue CD, chroot to your grub distro, and grub-install sda. More or less. May vary depending on your distro and setup.

[netbsd] @aburka Reordering shouldn't corrupt your partition table if it wasn't already corrupt, but it can ruin your day! Don't do that! 😌 Did you have a screenshot or fdisk -v dump? You can rebuild it if you have the start and end sectors.

[netbsd] @aburka In Linux fdisk, when you create a partition, it asks for a type. You can also change this with the "t" key later. These types are different for GPT and MBR, but for GPT the type NetBSD uses is "a9". Note that this is different from the actual filesystem... this is just a byte […]

[netbsd] @aburka Is this GPT or MBR? I use MBR on my hopper and used a primary partition out of caution but I feel like maybe I could've used a logical one. I didn't have a limit, though (at least not at 8): pastebin.com/3PEBMHiQ
