    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    I wanted to blog about this because I couldn't find any info about it on the internet.

    Against the advice of everyone, I installed Proxmox on a USB thumbdrive. And, as predicted by everyone who gave that advice, the thumbdrive failed after a couple months.

    So I rebuilt my server with a new 1TB SSD disk and a backup of …

    I was first introduced to open-source on IRC back in 1996. I joined the #toriamos channel on undernet, which was managed by an eggdrop bot named [iCKy].

    [iCKy] was an open-source TCL and C-based program that did cool stuff for us, like auto-ban users if they were flooding the channel. There was even a party line that …

    When I was a kid, I watched War Games and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and immediately wanted to hack. I actually got in trouble for calling Sarah McLachlan's record label's BBS to try to hack. I had no idea it was a Canadian number! They …

    NOTE: If you're using Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, please follow this article instead.

    The recent OS X High Sierra iamroot vulnerability reminded me just how many people don't secure their remote desktop connections.

    While Windows Remote Desktop is more secure than VNC, neither RDP, ADP nor VNC should be directly …

  • Active Directory and PHP on Apache on Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    Recently, I wrote about Joining Ubuntu to an Active Directory Domain. That was for an actual Ubuntu box and the plan was that the next post would be about adding Apache to the mix. But then I got distracted by Apache on Bash on Ubuntu on Windows (check out my gists for sneak peaks).

    I should be practicing for my …

    Share on: mastodon facebook linkedin bluesky copy

    Back in 2009, I did a whole lot of messing around with Linux and Active Directory integration, primarily for Apache. Now that Linux is coming to Windows, I figured I'd brush up on my Linux and Windows Integrated Authentication skills to work with Ubuntu, too.

    Since 2009, it seems that a couple …

    In tonight's PowerScripting Podcast, I shared a few things about SQL Server on Linux, and talked a bit about SQLPS. All after a lengthy intro about my tech life and Cajun culture ;) You can watch the whole thing, skip to 28 minutes to the podcast intro, or skip to around 59 minutes for the SQL/Linux/SQLPS portion.

    Back in 2013, I wrote about "Using Windows Authentication to Connect to SQL Server from Linux". Considering how convoluted using Linux can get, doing so was surprisingly straightforward then and it's even easier now.

    Oops! I forgot to tell my mom to resize her photos before uploading them to RealCajunRecipes.com. We had colossal 7MB+ images floating around on the web server, and SSD space doesn't come cheap. No problem, I just installed ImageMagick, backed up my directories, then ran the following command which finds all the 1MB+ …
