Repair Misbehaving Software RAID 5 Array

Posted on December 18, 2018October 22, 2020 by Marty Gilbert

The Musing Not really a musing, as much as I wanted to document this fix, because it seems to happen with alarming frequency. The Situation I run a Mythbuntu box to as a PVR – it works great!

Apache Reverse Proxy for Moodle on CentOS 7.3

Posted on September 26, 2017September 26, 2017 by Marty Gilbert

The Musing As I’ve written previously, we moved our Moodle server to a virtual server, but I also keep live backups of each term for as long as possible.

Using xbindkeys for Trackball Button Awesomeness

Posted on October 4, 2015June 17, 2016 by Marty Gilbert

The Musing About a year or two ago, I began using a trackball – I said I would never use a trackball, but whatever. Specifically, I began using the Logitech M570.
