  • It’s a good skill to know so you don’t get ripped off. You can find the most likely culprit and look up the book time and parts cost. Then go to the mechanic and don’t tell them you know. Just say the light is on. If they come back with some wild price for the issues, then you can tell them to put the car outside and you’ll come pick it up.




  • I own dullsters.net and i have been trying to clean out junk from previously abandoned projects and working on others. It has become a project in itself. There’s no shortage of 3d printers, computers, tools, and other things around here. I’m always doing some kind of diy. A lot of times out of necessity as things lately have been breaking more than usual. I’m also on a high level committee for an organization with the goal of growing an e-sports scene to help veterans. It just feels really weird to do cool and interesting things at home and have an easy entry level job that isn’t fulfilling and not seen as capable of anything more.









  • It was stock Ubuntu. Everything was working fine for a long time. The only thing I can think of is that I was trying to get rdp going last week so I could access my main PC from a thin client in my garage. Maybe I got “hacked”? Otherwise it could be some issue with the PC, a used hp business pc, nothing special. When I first tried to load the fedora image it did the same thing, other recovery images from medicat worked. Then later trying the fedora image worked. I also reseated ram and ssd, unplugging everything and trying different monitors, etc. before trying anything else.

    Everything seems fine now, I just need to install all of my applications again.
