I’ve been asked many times about my shell scripts and things I’ve automated, as I’ve recently shown in a video about things I’ve automated on my system. I’ve created another video on how to effectively write Bash scripts for regular developers, who aren’t experienced on the sysadmin side of things.

I was using the command line to quickly build out a file hierarchy. I wrote something that looked basically like: 1 mkdir -p "~/dir/a b/c d" I meant for dir to be in my home directory. I should have put the ~/ outside the doublequotes. Hence, it actually ended up creating a directory called ~. I thought, “Well that was ...

Are you looking to develop a few projects on your local machine and push them on to a real OpenShift Container Platform without having to worry about cloud hosting of your container platform? Would you like to do that on one of the newer versions of OpenShift Container Platform such as version 4.7? Look no further as CodeReady Containers puts ...

Now I know that this should be really straight forward as it’s just a normal disk in a desktop machine, but it really seems to be a tricky problem due to the lack of clear error messages you get when it fails to start the installation. The basis is getting a valid copy of Windows 10 in an ISO download, ...

This is a continuation of Creating Windows 10 Boot Media for a Lenovo Thinkpad T410 Using Only a Mac and a Linux Machine.

This weekend I stumbled on an old Macbook Pro 13 inch from late 2014, with 125GB SSD and 8GB RAM. It’s a machine I’ve taken on trips around the world and back in the day ran many a session, workshop, or demo on sharing all that AppDev goodness you know from JBoss technologies. Well, after verifying that it’s battery works, ...

When distributing bundled software, you have multiple options, but if we exclude fancy newcomers like Docker and Kubernetes, you’re left with the following options: an installer (for Windows), a package (rpm or deb) for the corresponding distro, tarball with a setup shell script that creates the necessary configurations, and a virtual machine (or virtual appliance). All of these options are ...

I’m having a lot of fun with VMware on this 64 GB Mac: My main OS, obviously, is macOS running work-related stuff.Then, I have Ubuntu Linux for development.I have Kali Linux for doing security work.I have Windows 10 for practicing exploit development.And, finally, I have macOS running in a VM for my personal stuff.I could probably get Android and iOS ...
