I have been rolling out CloudFront for a few of my domains, including blog.jj5.net.
In order to integrate CloudFront with WordPress I used the W3 Total Cache plugin.
And in order to set the <link rel=”canonical”> element I used the Yoast SEO plugin.
At one point I had a problem with garbled content in my browser. Looked like the browser was trying to display compressed content as text. But now I can’t reproduce, so hopefully whatever the issue was it is now fixed…
Over on https://digitalforensics.ch/linux/ there is a PDF you can download which lists common files and directories you might find in popular Linux systems.
I watched this cool video about how to create a NAS using a Raspberry Pi 5: The ULTIMATE Raspberry Pi 5 NAS.
From CVE-2024-3094 XZ Backdoor: All you need to know:
Fortunately, the malicious code was discovered quickly by the OSS community and managed to infect only two of the most recent versions of the package, 5.6.0 and 5.6.1, which were released within the past month.

Gonna have a go at this: Install Docker Desktop on Debian.
I have built a new computer ‘trail‘ out of my old workstation ‘tradition‘. I was able to do this because I migrated the VirtualBox VMs that were running on ‘tradition’ over to QEMU/KVM VMs now running on ‘lore‘.
My new computer ‘trail’ is setup as the recording workstation for the “booth” in my studio. This is good because now I can record at 4K in the booth!
I don’t use Windows much these days but this new studio workstation runs Windows 11 Pro. I haven’t used software RAID on Windows before but for this workstation I setup a RAID1 mirror using 2x 2TB NVMe drives. I was able to configure the block size for the NTFS file system so I picked 2MB (which was the maximum) as this RAID array will only be for storing video recordings (which are huge files).
A friend on IRC referred me to this today: https://namingschemes.com/. It’s various lists of nouns in a theme which you can use for naming computers and such.
Guess who got fibre installed today?
We’ve gone from 100 Mbps down to 250 Mbps down. The fibre optic line can support more but we’re on a 250 Mbps plan.
I had a problem where I needed to delete a device driver that had been installed so that I could install a replacement. I found How to Remove Old and Useless Drivers in Windows and the process was roughly:
You can then look for the old driver and remove it.
I went hunting in the BIOS for ‘verve‘ which has a ASUS PRIME B550M-A motherboard and I found I needed to change two settings.
The first setting was Advanced -> CPU Configuration -> SVM Mode = Enabled. This enables AMD-V and allows the CPU to function in a hypervisor.
The second setting was Advanced -> Onboard Devices Configuration -> USB power delivery in Soft Off state (SS) = Disabled. This fixes the problem with the power button not working as discussed here: Earth leakage hack.
