I'm using CloneZilla to backup a 1000GB hard disk drive in a laptop before I shrink the partitions and migrate it to a smaller 256GB SSD, also using CloneZilla. Upgraded the memory (RAM) from 8GB to 16GB. Will be extending the usefulness of this laptop. #clonezilla #upgrade

Solve problems. Distribute solutions.

I have been interested in NetBSD for a while now. I have a strong desire to do more with it. Have been using Linux for about 20 years, so I have some experience with "unix-like" systems.

I'm trying out the #mostard nostr client. So far, so good, but haven't done much. This is my first post from it. https://mostard.org

I used gparted to shrink a Windows partition in preparation to use CloneZilla to migrate the installation to an nvme SSD. Forgot to run chkdsk from Windows after gparted and before CloneZilla, so my clone failed. I've done this before, as it is an easy to forget step. #gparted #windows #linux #clonezilla

I'm upgrading a Dell Vostro 14 laptop. Replaced the extremely slow 1TB hard drive drive with a Samsung EVO 250GB SATA SSD. Doubled the memory from 8GB to 16GB by adding an additional 8GB memory module in the empty slot, so now it will benefit from dual-channel memory, too. #hardware #upgrades #laptop

Good morning.

Good morning! The air is much cooler today. Not sure I am ready for the cold season.

Finished building a new custom AMD based PC for a customer. I really liked how it turned out. * AMD Ryzen 7 5700X cpu * Arctic Freezer 36 cpu cooler * MSI PRO B550M PRO-VDH WIFI AM4 motherboard * 32GB Corsair memory * Crucial T500 1TB Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSD * Corsair power supply * SAPPHIRE PULSE Radeon RX 7600 8GB graphics * GAMEMAX MeshBox PRO case

Messing around with repurposing a 1U rack mount appliance. I took the original motherboard out of it and am now testing a Intel Ivy Bridge ITX motherboard with dual ethernet. If all does well, this will become my replacement pfSense router to be installed in server rack instead of the old Dell Optiplex I have on a shelf right now. I have a few challenges, such as getting a CPU cooler that fits in the 1U tall case. I found a low power Intel i3-3220T 35W TDP processor and tested to make sure that works in it. I have two 2GB 10600 memory modules. Anyone know if the 12800L (low power) modules really consume a noticeable amount less power? I probably have some 12800L modules around here somewhere, so may end up putting those in anyway. #pfsense #rack #hardware #efficiency

So glad I have an older car. View quoted note →

Good morning! Back to it. Lots of tech problems to figure out and broken computers to repair.
