The story of a 2014 Haswell CPU that refuses to retire. How strategic upgrades—RAM, NVMe, GPU—keep decade-old hardware competitive. And why Linux gave it a second life.
A home lab commander's journey building a distributed compilation system that turned impossible updates into overnight batch jobs. The architecture, the failures, and why I'd never do this in production (except I did).
A week of chaos on the storage server. Fighting a massive rsyslog flood, then debugging a total network collapse caused by a single USB ethernet adapter.
How one kernel parameter stood between me and working audio. Also: Making the Argo OS installer fully automated.
Two problems that plagued my Plex setup: invisible files and mysterious stuttering. Both were CIFS mount issues. Here's how I fixed them.
Why I use OpenRC instead of systemd, how to write custom init scripts, and the SDDM login loop that took me 6 hours to fix. A practical guide to Gentoo service management.
The complete implementation guide for Btrfs subvolumes and Snapper snapshot automation. From partition layout to automatic pre-emerge snapshots.
I broke my Gentoo system by reinstalling 815 packages. Sound died. Google Drive vanished. Here's how Btrfs snapshots saved me from a multi-hour debugging session.
A technical comparison of boot methods. Why I experimented with EFISTUB, and why Btrfs snapshots brought me back to GRUB.
Setting up Hyprland on Gentoo with OpenRC taught me that sometimes the hardest bugs are the dumbest. A gaming keyboard lock nearly cost me hours of debugging.
KDE Plasma crashed hard enough to require a reboot. The culprit: services that systemd would have auto-started but OpenRC very deliberately did not. Also, /run/ is empty after every reboot and nobody warned me.
The complete story of building a custom Gentoo-based distribution with automatic rollback, distributed compilation, and hybrid package management. Part disaster log, part technical guide, part therapy session.
Strip your Linux kernel down to exactly what your hardware needs. From menuconfig basics to initramfs generation with dracut.
Why browse the GRUB menu? Creating desktop shortcuts to reboot directly into Windows or Linux using 'grub2-reboot'.
Fedora ships with Btrfs, but it doesn't ship with automatic snapshots. Here is how I set up Snapper to bulletproof my workstation.
Why I removed the bootloader entirely from Argo OS and how to boot the Linux kernel directly from UEFI. Plus the hardware quirk that forced my hand on one machine.
