This one is for documentation purposes. Networking issue is usually the rabbit hole that gets deeper and weirder more we find out. My method of approaching networking is to leave the ones that are currently working, as-is. In other words, don’t jinx it. The problem I encountered was just plain weird. I was spooked by…
Metaphor: ReFantazio does offer lists of side quests to level up the party to prepare for the next big battle, that is, up until the new dungeon area, Skybound Avatar, is unlocked for the final-final confrontation. At this point, I had access to few other bounties, few dungeons, and some candidate encounters. Finishing them all,…
One of the things necessary to maintain a VLAN at home or small office is to automate the boot up sequence as much as possible. In case of, say, power outage, you would want the system to be able to boot up on its own, unless you opted Pis and others to turn on manually…

If you are testing Python scripts on multiple machines, let alone different versions of Python, there is a moment where you would wish to synchronize all the packages across the versions, across the machines. Before I go into the details, I do want to clarify one thing: depending on how you would to set it…
I suspect this is yet another “tabs or spaces” question for developers, but I believe there is a silver lining for all —we want consistent UIs. I want my numpads to work as number pads throughout. There are only few cases when I need it to be something else, be it may directional keys, application…
Until recently, I had the emails for themtparty.com to either redirect to each authors or the admin address. I wasn’t interested in having a separate email service for self-hosted WordPress blog, but there were times when I needed @themtparty.com email addresses. If you are subscribing to iCloud+ *, possibly for cloud storage reasons, the package…
In one of the previous post, I wrote a Python code to generate “type-friendly” version of random passwords, where “type-friendly” meant generating clusters of strings. But touchscreen isn’t the only time I want custom grammar rules from password managers. Password managers generally have better UI to random passwords for whatever length you choose. The only…
Of many things Apple have added to iPhone, or removed from iPhone, one thing I do not understand is how half-baked Action Button is. It’s true that configurable button is more preferable, but it is also true Action Button is not configurable enough to become a new feature of its own. A lot of it…
With the Lunar New Year now come and gone, it’s time to prepare for other holidays that will come. Again, the macOS calendar does provide default holiday calendar of the place you are at now; but if you are planning to travel, for example, you might want to add a new calendar for destination. And…
I’ve been using Sublime Text since version 2, and of its many features, one I needed the most is definitely the additional packages and extensions you can install based on your needs. Only problem is that Sublime Text doesn’t support cloud sync out of the box, so the user does have to tweak it to…
Choosing the right username can never be more important now than it did before. If your journey in computing started in some computing center with UNIX, no doubt the importance of 3 characters-long username hasn’t escaped you. Whereas, if you started your computing with a PC like I did, a proper or useful username is…
I don’t particularly appreciate AI in the field of writing. My experience with AI so far as a reader was that it’s either so good you could have hired a squadron of ghost writers with the same budget to run the AI, or it’s so bad you are spamming Google with the AI-generated contents. Ultimately,…
For the life of me, I do not see why this is a thing for Korean websites and apps, but Korean apps often require “virtual keyboard” on a smartphone. Yes, you heard me correctly. On a smartphone’s virtual touchscreen keyboard, they insist to put in a new randomized keyboard for security sake, while banning the…
I’ve written in the past about Time Machine errors with the same error messages, and this is yet another one of the troubleshoots. I didn’t realize hibernation managed by Synology DSM could have an effect on the client side’s Time Machine. Symptoms Symptoms are nearly identical as before. I was seeing the pop up message…
