I set up Microsoft’s parental controls on someone’s account a while back and I manage it for her. Last night, she was panicking because she couldn’t access the internet. At first, I assumed it was due to time limits I might have set and forgotten about. But no,it turns out Microsoft simply decided to block Chrome, with no notification, no email, nothing. Just a silent update that made me scramble...

I don’t know why there are so many incompetent IT people, especially in Israel. But there are. Here’s a quick documentation of what happened. My friend reached out and said that his Surface Pro with Snapdragon couldn’t be upgraded to Windows 11 Pro for Active Directory. I thought that made no sense. I went in and tried activating Windows 11 Pro by using the Generic key and then...
I’ve been trying to get Hoarder, now called Karakeep, up and running on my Raspberry Pi for months. Every few months, I would go in and try to get ChatGPT or Gemini to code the correct YAML file for Docker. I couldn’t get it to work, and no one else seemed to be able to get it to work either. Finally, after much effort, I got it working two days ago, and it’s been running...

For full transparency this is using my referral link.First, create an account at...
I’ve been going down a rabbit hole trying to find a good way to do transcription on Windows so I could do voice-to-text on Windows using local AI processing.Local processing is cool since it doesn’t destroy our environment ….. as much XD. After a bit of searching I found this program called Vibe and I like it. It’s not perfect but it’s pretty damn good. He provides...
Windows 10 going out of support is gonna be a shitshow. I don’t even know how to communicate with friends and family, that are going to miss the boat that the time is now to figure out what the plan is. The tariffs almost feel like collusion from Microsoft lol. October is gonna be a shitshow no matter how much I try to get in front of it.So here is warning number one of many, Windows 10...
More and more WordPress shit seems to hit the fan, from constant founder drama, to everything being broken after updates, to everything needing to a be a plugin. Well here comes my icing on the cake that pushed me to doing a test version on Ghost. Yesterday I logged to my WordPress dashboard for this site, and I saw that Jetpack had downgraded me to a free tier, which disables both social sharing...
It’s been a while since I last posted. I’m not sure why. I have a lot of things to do. I’m working on an advertisement for my editing services, and I might update my editing website. I need to improve my Obsidian workflow and daily task management; my current system isn’t working well. I have a half-baked solution, but I lack note rollover and good organization. I’m...
I was reading an article this morning from The New Oil about how scams are evolving and how to avoid them. Inside the article, he writes, “as another interesting note, while people ages 34 to 44 tend to get scammed more often, people ages 18 to 24 tend to lose more in scams.
