Modern Fedora and SSH Server
Today I was banging my head against the desk trying to figure out why I couldn’t ssh to one of my Fedora machines. I knew that while Fedora wasn’t the most secure Linux distro out there, it was more secure than many by default. That includes having a strict firewall set up. But I had already enabled ssh. What was going wrong? Well, it turns out that the ssh daemon is disabled by default! Just typing the following:
Upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 10
After waiting for a bit, turned out that the only real issue with Windows 10 is that you shouldn’t do Express Install unless you want Microsoft spying on everything. Also, now that I’m doing photography on Linux (another post about that at some point), the only thing I had to lose was the ability to play games for a while. The updater was pretty self explanatory and the process was more or less similar to a Fedora upgrade.

What I learned while trying to diagnose a slow boot
I spent the weekend trying to figure out why SuperMario boots so slowly. I ended up overturning my ideas about what the problem was and learned a lot of new techniques. The only bad thing is that while I’m a lot closer to the problem, I’m still unsure of the root cause. So that the proper helpers can get credit, let me point you to the LinuxQuestions.org thread in which I worked this out. If you haven’t already clicked, don’t worry, I’m going to bring the relevant info over.

Just playing with the idea of breaking up a video of an activity into different shots.
Five Iron Frenzy Manga Shirt
My favorite concert shirt and one of my favorite old shirts has gained too many holes to continue wearing. Here’s the memorial:

Strawberry Picking
Scarlett had a good time picking apples, so Danielle thought it’d be neat to take Scarlett strawberry picking. I was pretty surprised at how many people were there.

When we arrived, they gave us a box to fill with strawberries. Scarlett was quite excited about carrying the box over to the fields.


Unsurprisingly, it was mostly Danielle and I - with Scarlett putting in one or two strawberries at a time.
