Please don’t monopolize all of them all day. I know you have laundry to do, but when you take all the washers and driers all day and then leave your last load in the driers all night you make it so others are unable to uses these shared resources. Other people don’t want to wear[…]

This is going to be a strange request and I doubt I will get any one that can help. But back between 97 and 01 around the University of Pittsburgh’s CAS computer network on the Unix stations there was a FVWM configuration setup that was being shared. And I am trying to find those configuration[…]

I been using Pi-Hole to block ad sites, and analytic sites that are used for tracking. Well since I added a custom list to block all google’s analytic sites I noticed that my google drive started to fail.

I just looked at what WiFi analizer shows for what is on the WifI airspace around where I live, in the building I live in there are 11 units, 1 is empty, and below is what the WiFi airspace looks like. This is one reason for things that need a good connection to the internet[…]
Well it been a week and a half since I put the USG in as a firewall/router for my home network. On data point that I find interesting, is I look at my average transfer rate on my home network. I have a 1Gbit connection from Verizon, but do I really need that speed? The[…]

So I setup the Eero WiFi access points in my home about a week ago. And so far, they have been something you can forget about. Plus as noted in a prior post it nice that they do self healing on the network, so if a Ethernet connection go down between them and the rest[…]
