This is the second part of a multi-part entry about a utility I wrote called advib. You can find the prior part (and eventual 3 or more parts) as well as any other advib-related entries under the advib tag. This is where I will try and dissect exactly how advib works, possibly line-by-line. The program … Continue reading advib part 2: dissection
Server 2019 management
I have been playing on and off with some form of Hyper-V Server 2019 for a few years now. Note: I worked on this post over a really long time and it's become something of a mess. It's less of a guide and more of a random reference for later. Hyper-V Server in particular is … Continue reading Server 2019 management
Defcon 2019 Adventure

R520, We Hardly Knew Yee
I've been working on my hypothetical server - a hand-me-down Dell 2U server R520 to be specific - for at least 2 months now. As it stands it capable of holding 8 hard drives and has 1 of a possible 2 Xeon processors. And all the ingredients are finally sort of starting to come together. … Continue reading R520, We Hardly Knew Yee
Mental Vacations (Meta #4)
Update-after-writing: this turned in to a bit more of a "stream of consciousness" than I had planned. But I kind of like it the way it is so I'm leaving it this way. I wasn't actually planning it but it seems I have taken the entire month of July off of both submitting to this … Continue reading Mental Vacations (Meta #4)
