Hello, Goodbye
Hello WordPress and Fedi! I’m hopping back on here to announce that I’m closing this chapter in Egee’s blog. I know it’s only been about six months, but a lot has changed in that time! Since publishing my first half-dozen posts, I’ve struggled to keep writing. I seem to write about it every two months…

Discovering openSUSE doesn’t use DKMS
I’ve been on openSUSE Leap 15 since May. That’s a whole two months of usage! I apparently picked openSUSE Leap as my main distro right before the next service pack was due to release: Leap 15.6. OpenSUSE upgrades are really simple so I decided to make a video of it. At the end of the…

Happy 4th of July!
Today marks the 248th anniversary of the good ole’ USA. I don’t have anything else to post besides just that. My last post was a little on the existential side of things and I’ve got a few posts in queue but not quite finished. So let me commemorate today but making it the first post…

Who Am I Supposed To Be?
One of the first blog posts I wrote here on the site was about my time on Medium and why I drifted here. When I wrote that post, I skimmed through the old blog and stopped to read my first blog post there. I remember where I was when I wrote that post. I had…

And We’re Live!
The website had been running behind a firewall until last week when I flipped the switches and made it public. An unfortunate passage of rite for blogs on the internet these days. I truly don’t understand why comment spam happens. It takes resources to find a website and post the comment. Comments on my blog…

Nextcloud Object Storage in Linode
Nextcloud is a really neat web platform that is a bit like if you self-hosted Google Drive. It has file storage, a word processor, a photo editor, a calendar, an instant messenger, and more. I’ve often used it as a feature-rich NAS alternative but I ran into trouble this weekend with storage space. I’m running…

A Week of Self-Hosting WordPress
I’ve actually been hosting this WordPress site for a little over a month but I only started really working on it last week. It’s currently in WIP mode as I figure out exactly what it’s going to look like. As it stands right now, it’s pretty dorky looking. 😅 It’s using a pretty common &…

A New Day; A New Weekend
Today is the last Friday, June 7th 2024 there will ever be. I tell myself this sometimes to remind myself that life is not just short, it is temporary. Sometimes we have bad days. Sometimes we have bad weeks. Occasionally we’ll get a bad month. But today is always a day where that can change.…

A Medium-Sized Egee
In my introductory post I mentioned I was a blogger on Medium for a time. I liked it over there. It was a nice little community & platform similar to WordPress but meant exclusively for blogging. In my humble opinion, Medium is dead and has been for a while. The last article I wrote on…

Hello WordPress!
Welcome to my WordPress blog site. This is a modification of the very first post it creates for you. It says “Edit or delete it, then start writing”, so let’s go! Wait, Egee Blogs? Yep, but it’s been a while. My most recent blog was over on Medium and I was somewhat active over there.…
