Ever since FreeNAS 10 came out and burned me, I switched from using old-fashioned jails to the new docker experience. While the docker experience was great, FreeNAS 10 left a bad taste in my mouth. Begrudgingly, I switched to FreeNAS 11 which has no docker support. I had just spent most of my time switching […]
Booting EFI Stub Fedora 25
Recently I realized that Fedora 25 doesn’t use the EFI Stub to boot directly to the kernel if you’re using UEFI on your computer. It boots the grub bootloader and from there you can pick which kernel to boot (or other OS’s if you have them). It probably makes sense if you need to boot […]
CyanogenMod 12 on the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact
I wanted to give a little tutorial on how to install CM12 on the Z3c and the current status of the phone. I’ll hopefully update this post in the future for more bugs listed as the ones on XDA aren’t very current or accurate. Step 1: Download the latest ADB drivers. Go here to download the […]
TextSecure: Unregistering from CyanogenMod

For a couple of days I had one sided texts going to my friend assuming that they just weren’t responding. When […]

Problem is, the xf86-input-synaptics-mtpatch package hasn’t been updated in quite a while. The mtpatch […]
KDE 5 On Arch Linux
I recently installed Arch Linux on my Macbook Pro due to Ubuntu being too buggy (random crashes and freezes, no kernel panics). I’ve found Arch Linux to be incredibly stable and haven’t had a single problem. Now, since Arch is very similar to my old favorite linux distrobution, gentoo, I’ve found myself faced with the […]
Installing Ubuntu 14.04 on Macbook Pro (9,1)
I have spent days and days trying to get Ubuntu running right on my computer. Installing it is fairly easy but actually getting it to run properly without the GPU burning a hole through the bottom of your laptop is a different story. I hope that this tutorial saves a lot of people the headache […]
About this blog
I’m not sure what this blog will be about, but I guess we’ll see soon enough. I’m assuming it will be full of rants, technology, programming, and tutorials. Some of it might just be tutorials or quick fixes for things that I’ve done so that I can have a place to store them for future […]
