Category: Other Techie Shit

Other tech stuff not necessarily related to the site but worth hanging onto for later reference; generic computer stuff, be it app or hardware. You know like “Oh f*** so that’s where the telnet command in Windows went”…

New Captcha plugin

Other Techie Shit

I changed the Captcha plugin for the reg, login, password reset, and comments user inputs . The one I’ve been using has been causing errors or interference with some other things. Funny, it used to be fine for the longest time as far as I can tell. Oh well…

Ring Chime Pro install

Journaling, Other Techie Shit

This is mainly for documentation in case I gotta backtrack on how the chime was installed. I bought a Ring Chime Pro on Amazon for Mom’s house more than a few years ago as a better front door doorbell. Seems her and my Alexa app recently stopped announcing doorbell rings, and I couldn’t figure out … Continue Reading

Listing LINUX directory tree

Other Techie Shit, Site Notes

Not sure why I didn’t capture this before since I did it for the music collection. To update I had to google it all over again. So… future reference!

The command at the CLI (login using PuTTY or SSH):

tree > music.txt

The tree will be directed to a text file called music.txt

Also, as there are a few… Continue Reading

Done with old laptop’s upgrade effort

Other Techie Shit

I got an email from H Power Computing asking if I wanted to replace my motherboard or not on the M2800. Apparently they didn’t read my last message to them telling them go ahead as a go ahead. So since I had the chance, I rolled that decision back and told them never mind, just restore it to the Windows 7 OS running… Continue Reading

Fixing this old laptop might get expensive!!

Other Techie Shit

H Power Computing also messaged me about my M2800 laptop having Win10 installed. It’s not installing. They believe the motherboard is bad. So they quoted ordering a replacement (used from overseas) at $378.00. WTF do I do, abandon the effort with money already sunk in for the Windows 10 upgrade and the… Continue Reading

Sought professional help (for laptop)!

Other Techie Shit

It’s been over a week since I started trying to upgrade the old laptop (Dell M2800). I have been unusually patient, and it hasn’t aggravated me the way something like this normally would. It helps that it’s not the main computer, of course! But… I’ve given up trying on my own.… Continue Reading

Is this a lesson in futility?

Other Techie Shit

So it’s day 4 messing with this damned old laptop (3 years old so it’s not really old) trying to upgrade it to Windows 10. It keeps hanging at about 85%. I get the error:

0xC1900101-0x40021

I run this setupdiag.exe that I downloaded to see why it is stopping, and it can’t find any failure signatures.… Continue Reading

Old Dell laptop on ventilator

Other Techie Shit

So in attempting to use my old Dell M2800 laptop for the online meeting, I decided to go ahead and upgrade it to Windows 10. I’ve been trying to upgrade it all day and evening now. It keeps erroring out. I purchased the Win10 upgrade so I’m kinda committed or will just waste my money because it’s… Continue Reading

My Ghetto Keyboard

Other Techie Shit

Alas the junk computer peripherals I had to dig out of the closet in order to make my telework workstations more functional. I had to re-use an old keyboard for my PSA workstations laptop, and it was already worn. In the 4 months that I’ve been using iot, the keys wore out even more. I had to use labelmaker … Continue Reading
