To facilitate web development, I wanted the same environment on my Windows 10 desktop as exists on my Ubuntu VPS server. With WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), I can have the same LEMP (Linux, Nginx, MySQL, and PHP) setup on my Windows 10 desktop. See my previous post, Install Subversion…
Leave a CommentI needed Subversion client access on a fresh Windows 10 installation. Rather than installing one of the Subversion clients for Windows (for example, CollabNet Subversion or SlikSVN), I decided to take advantage of the new WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). The best part of macOS is the Linux system which…

A quick google pointed me at “M3 Bitlocker Loader for Mac”, which looked to be free. Unfortunately, it was not.…

Leave a CommentMy Windows laptop complains that there is very little free space left on the 128GB SSD drive. That’s strange because Windows 10 and the few applications I installed shouldn’t have taken that much space, maybe at most half the hard drive space. I dig around and find that my user’s…
Leave a CommentRecently I got an email from DigitalOcean to update my server’s kernel to protect against the Meltdown and Spectre exploits. The instructions are the normal update commands that I usually run, “apt-get update” and “apt-get dist-upgrade”. After doing the update, I thought that I would double-check the kernel version. The…
Leave a CommentLet’s Encrypt will automatically email expiration notices when your domain’s SSL certificate is coming up for renewal at 20 days, 10 days, and 1 day before the expiration date. (Recently, I received notices at 19 days and again at 10 days.) I’ve found these renewal reminders very helpful because in…
