Want to know what port a machine is connected to on a Mikrotik RouterOS device? Do you need to disable it and enable it to force DHCP renewal? Read on.
I run most of my servers with Microsoft Hyper-V Server, which is a free version of the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor and just enough of an OS to support using Windows drivers and remote management with PowerShell or Remote Desktop. If you have used VMWare ESXi Server, you could compare it to this.
I have been working with Markdown for my work on Windows Containers, and wanted to try using it for other purposes too like this blog. It’s easy to learn and has a great balance of content to markup. One problem, however, is that it requires a lot of steps to set it up. Let’s see how Docker can come to the rescue.
I have amassed a large collection of CDs and ripped all of them to FLAC, and recently started using Tidal to listen to expand my lossless music collection further. Sonos made it easy to stream my local files throughout the house, but the Sonos apps only let you browse the local and Tidal collections independently. Sonos also lacks support for my high-res audio and can’t take advantage of the good DACs I use on my PCs. Roon helps address both of those, combining local & Tidal collections into a single database and streaming it to any device. However, it needs a central server to hold all that metadata and provide a consistent experience across all devices. I’m tired of maintaining separate VMs for each server app, so it sounds like a job for Docker!
Based on a love for GitHub, sharing knowledge, and fast-loading sites I decided to give Jekyll a go with GitHub Pages.
