Welcome, weary traveller.
At the time of writing, there are several issues (#1124, #1145, #1173, #1256, #1491) opened into Atmosphere-NX/Atmosphere regarding the following error: I encountered it out of nowhere on SW 15.0.1|AMS 1.4.0, but have heard of others facing it as a result of a bad microSD (already tested mine), or as the result of uncleanly shutting …

Over the past few years I’ve accepted that if a screen replacement doesn’t require a tear-down of the entire laptop chassis, then it just requires a tear-down of the entire top portion of a laptop chassis. The HP 17-by3063st has changed my mind. I won’t be discussing this laptop in too much detail here, those …
Last week I held a Kubernetes Quickstart Workshop as part of the TOHacks 2022 Hype Week. Together, we went over some basic Kubernetes concepts, API resources, and the problems they solved relative to non-cloud native architecture. As part of this workshop I created some simple K8s cheat-sheets/material, along with a whole new Kubernetes cluster which …

Related to the previous post, I’ve downgraded one of my ESXi hosts to ESXi 7U1c in a fit of frustration and sleep deprivation. Now comes the headache of re-configuring this host, along with registering VMs that were created by a newer version of ESXi 7. Specifically, 7U2. Et eu, VMs? Now I didn’t really use …

Since Fall of 2021 when I upgraded from ESXi 7U1c to 7U2a, I’ve noticed several times when my host would lose access to its internal SD card. My setup is pretty standard – Dell’s custom ESXi image installed on my R830’s internal dual SD module (IDSDM). After around 16-20 days of uptime, the host would …

2021 was an eccentric one, riddled with changes from the widespread indoctrinate of remote work and study programs to virtual everything. Meetings, workshops and hackathons are but a few things we have had to deliver 100% digitally. In spite of all this, we were not deterred. Our TOHacks 2021 hackathon ended up being one of …
When hacking in a team, there are always some problem that devolves into peer programming. In a physical Hackathon, this is but a chair roll away. When virtual, your options become more limited. Either one person shares their screen at 5 frames per second over Zoom, or git is involved in ways it definitely should …

Two weeks ago, I partook in a hackathon revolving around Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) — a standard defining the format of electronic health records. This experience was an eye-opener, a true deep-dive below the surface to the rest of the iceberg that is healthcare data. Using FHIR, teams were challenged to address particular problems …
