Windows 11 Autologin - Fri, 05/19/2023 - 17:40

Wow, some people try to make this crazy hard. Here it is from the CLI. Or as a .reg file:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
"AutoAdminLogon"=dword:00000001
"DefaultUserName"="user"
"DefaultPassword"="password"

This seems to be available from at least Windows 8.1 on.

Adding Service Principal Names (SPN) to Samba AD DC - Thu, 05/11/2023 - 16:02

I have just recently installed Samba as an Active Directory Domain Controller on my Linux system, and I'm still trying to sort out the details. I have never really gotten into Kerberos, and this is a good learning opportunity. One of the things you have to do to enable the use of Kerberos tickets for authentication for services is to add the Service Principal Names, sometimes called "service principals", to the computer's Kerberos account.

Drupal backup and reinstall shell script - Fri, 05/05/2023 - 13:47

I've been playing around with creating a kind of all-in-one, "loaded for bear" Drupal 10 configuration, with a coherent set of compatible and cooperative modules. My goal is to make deployment and expansion simple regardless of your goals.

Fallout 4 On Linux (Steam, 2023) - Sat, 04/22/2023 - 14:40

I like to play games well into their sunset years, which is great because it saves me a lot of money on GPUs. I had Fallout 4 back when it was relatively new, but having tired of my other options, I decided to see how it ran on modern Linux. As it turns out, the answer is that it runs about as well as it does on Windows, maybe even slightly better in the graphics performance department. I started out with a steam deck howto and worked the rest out from there. These instructions assume you have all of the DLC.

Lore-Friendly Mods for a Fallout 4 Replay (2023) - Fri, 04/21/2023 - 14:36

I recently started playing Fallout 4 again, because I own it already and it runs well on my potato, even under Linux. The last time I played I had dual nvidia GTX 950 cards in SLI under Windows 7, and now I have a single 1070 under Linux. The performance is as much better as you would hope. The game is just about as reliable on Linux as it is on Windows, which is not very. However, my current configuration lets the game start up pretty quickly, and liberal use of the quicksave feature keeps me from losing too much progress in the inevitable explosions.

Correct way to add bower-asset to composer.json - Sun, 03/26/2023 - 14:40
composer config repositories.asset-packagist composer https://asset-packagist.org

composer config --json --merge 'extra.installer-paths.web/libraries/{$name}' '["type:bower-asset", "type:npm-asset"]'

Script Quickie: Update nested git repos - Fri, 03/17/2023 - 04:56

I am using the AUTOMATIC1111 stable-diffusion distribution, and you can install modules to that. Some modules can be installed and updated from inside of the program, while others cannot. Those other modules have to be updated by doing a git pull. This is not a big job, but it can be made even smaller with a very small shell script.

Monitoring nvidia GPU utilization on Linux - Mon, 02/27/2023 - 18:04

I wanted a nice way to simply see whatever statistics I could gather from my GPU — ye olde PNY XLR8 1070 slightly-pre-overclocked model, which I bought used and which has been surprisingly solid so far — and for some reason the information I want to see isn't in the default output from the nvidia-smi command included with the nvidia driver, and I don't get anything in lm-sensors. Noodling around a bit led me to the idea of using the --query-gpu option, which lets you pull any specific information you want, as long as you are willing to deal with it in CSV format. I was, and here we are.

Setting up ZFS SLOG, and further adventures with duplicate rpool names - Thu, 02/23/2023 - 08:13

Without getting [too] technical (and probably operating "above my pay grade") the ZFS ZIL is a place where synchronous writes are done, and you can move this to a separate zpool, which is called a SLOG. One SLOG can store the ZIL for multiple zpools. While most writes by most applications are asynchronous, some are not, and file metadata writes are synchronous. Putting the ZIL for a HDD (or even an array) on a SSD lets your zpool provide the IOPS performance of your SLOG, while also avoiding fragmentation and reducing seeks through ordered writes.

Devuan 4 nvidia - Sun, 02/12/2023 - 19:31

If you have a very old nvidia card, you will want to use the FOSS nvidia driver (nouveau) as it is likely the only thing that will work for you. But realistically, if you have nvidia graphics on your system, you will want to use the binary driver. This is a quick guide to that. The nvidia driver is in the non-free repo, so make sure you have that added to your sources.list. Then you can do the following various things (as root, or sudo as necessary)
