Batch Convert HEIC to JPG in Linux

Recently I began organizing a bunch of pictures from old iPhone archives and beginning with the iPhone X I found that all of my offloaded pictures were in HEIC format. I’m sure if you’ve searched found and found this article you know what that means. That picture format has some definite benefits, but one down…

Install Remmina in Debian 9 for RDS Gateway Connectivity

By default, Debian 9 comes with Remote Desktop Viewer installed. This utility is great for connecting directly to a Windows machine via RDP, but doesn’t work for connecting to a machine through an RDS Gateway. Fortunately, a great utility called Remmina exists that works well with RDS Gateways, but unfortunately, Remmina isn’t in the default…

Installing Apache, PHP 7.2, MySQL and PHPMyAdmin on Linux Mint 19.1

Note: Although the title of this article specifically says “Linux Mint,” this information should apply to any Debian-based Linux distribution. Also, this isn’t a guide to locking down security on a web server install. I am using this VM locally to host a database for myself, and so it won’t be accessible to the public…

macOS Mojave Startup Daemons and Agents – Beyond the GUI

For a couple days now I’ve been getting an annoying startup message from an Adobe app that launches at boot time on my MacBook Pro. After I log in and the GUI appears, I get a message that an Adobe application isn’t optimized for my Mac and that it needs to be updated. Uh, ok….

Hackintosh: Installing macOS on Standard Intel Hardware in 2018

Thumbnail image on this article thanks to u/hkntshr on Reddit, since his looks pretty and mine’s a mess. So for a couple months I’ve been running Linux as my primary OS on both my laptop and my desktop. Honestly, it works better than I thought it would. I previously wrote about the install itself, my…

Installing Windows XP from Scratch on VAIO VGN-UX390N

A couple weeks ago I bought a Sony VAIO UX from someone on eBay. The unit had been updated to Windows 7 from Windows Vista Business. Vista Business was the OS installed on the device from the factory, but as we all know, Windows Vista was worse than Windows 8. Very unstable due to a…

Meeting Your Heroes: The Sony VAIO UX (VGN-UX390N)

Flash back to 2006. This is long before everyone had an iPhone or Android device in their pocket. We were lucky to have a color LCD on our phones, let alone a nice capacitive touch-screen device that was powerful enough to things besides just take phone calls or send SMS messages. There were no “app…

Virtualized DOS Gaming in 2018

After recently seeing a couple of YouTube reviews for DOS games that looked really fun, and that I’ve never played, I decided to look for the best way to play them on modern hardware. Upon doing some quick research, I found 3 potential options, each of which seemed very viable. Virtualization via an application like…

Installing Linux Mint on a 2018 Razer Blade 15

Before You Wipe Windows First, you’ll need to make sure that your BIOS is updated to version 1.05. My unit shipped with BIOS version 1.01 and there was no support for the trackpad in Linux.
