Hi there! It’s been a hot minute since I posted here. My absence doesn't mean i’ve not been doing anything. In fact, I’ve been doing lots! So, first things of…
My computer broke…
Yea, it’s unfortunate that it broke. What’s even worse, I got a new SSD a week before it died. So, currently I’m stuck with a lenovo laptop with no screen, as a desktop. Lucky it works ok, but I can’t use my shiny new NVMe drive. Currently, Im using my almost dead Thinkpad. There is a tech selloff at a school, and I’ll pick up some stuff. Anyways, onto homeserver stuff
Random thought break: I miss when microsoft cared so much about consumers, and was consumer oriented. It was so nice. They cared so much about people, making windows 7, in my books, the last best os. And even Windows Home Server, It was so compatible and such.
Server time!
Currently, everything is dockerized, except for Samba, Plex, Apache, MariaDB, Webmin, and probably some others. Something i want to try is to let me control docker containers, with docker. There are some settings which should let me control what starts it, and what stops it (instead off service start to docker start or smth), and maybe I can expose the config files in the same spot, should give me both benefits! I hope… And I tried.. It was… ok. It wouldn’t know that it’s running, but oh well.
Another thing, I picked up a free macbook! Yes free! I went to someone’s house, as I wanted to get a second opinion on how dead it is, (answer is very dead, Dell’s proprierty motherboard means I can’t get an off the shelf board, it’s 200$ for a new board and i can’t get a upgrade) He had a bunch of random laptops, and a couple macbooks. I’m a techie, so we took a look at some of the computers, and we found 3 macbooks (excluding one without it’s mobo and such), one turned on, had a good battery, and display, but no keyboard or mouse, and one that worked, but had a broken screen. This one I’m using was perfect, excluding the battery, and rubber feet. It’s a Macbook 5,1, currently running Snow Leapord, and Windows 7, but i might upgrade to El Capitan, as I do want to use it. I’m thinking on maybe, completely repairing it. Oh also i think the camera is dead, although it might just be unplugged. Also someone should revive Windows Anytime Upgrade.
I’m also writing a game, an online game. I’ll share more about it later
