Sometimes, it can be useful to prevent a given volume from mounting at boot. You might want to hide an old OS version from Spotlight corruption. You just might not want to clutter your desktop. Note: Encrypted disks are unlocked before the fstab file is read. In order for this procedure to work with an […]
This method works for downgrading from the 380 firmware version that doesn’t allow you to use the form to downgrade, which is really useful. It also works if you fucked up your router and it just keeps booting into rescue. I’ve only done this on my RT-AC68U so IDK about other routers. I’d assume it’d […]
I tried to remote control my work machine from home using Apple Remote Desktop and got the following error: “Apple Remote Desktop or another administration application is currently running.” The problem was that I had left the same Apple Remote Desktop client running on my work machine. To solve this I sshed to that machine […]
So today I was going through my Synology NAS and noticed .DS_Store files all over the place. These are actually files containing extended attributes created by Finder in Mac OS X. But, since they get written out to network locations, they can cause backup and versionining issues. To disable them from being created on network […]
If you’re pestered by the crash reporter dialog window, then you can quickly turn the window on and off with a defaults command string. I use it to prevent aerofly5 running on macOS 10.13, a flight simulator from reporting a crash dialog when exiting even it ran fine. You can disable the Crash Reporter dialog […]

Maybe not the safest flight… but one filled with spirit. This moment is dedicated to HB Ang (JFC), SM Sio, Willie Tang, […]
Page redirection is a situation where you clicked a URL to reach a page X but internally you were directed to another page Y. It happens due to page redirection. To redirect from an HTML page, use the META Tag. With this, use the http-equiv attribute to provide an HTTP header for the value of […]
For the past years, I have been hearing more and more traditional voice technology, including the standard PBX, is going the way of the telegraph key: valuable and functional communications systems being replaced by new, bigger, better, cheaper technologies. Voice and data networks, once separate and distinct, are merging into a single network. The PBX […]
I hope you’ll enjoy this little thing—I’ve earned it… for those who know me. There’s something utterly relaxing and deeply satisfying about flying a remote-controlled helicopter. Especially flying it inverted nose-in—it’s like solving a puzzle mid-air, stretching the mind in all the right ways. The best part? No matter your age, flying one of these […]
There’s nothing 80s kids love more than a good throwback. Sure, iPads and the latest phones are cool and all – but nothing can beat the days when “cloud” was nothing more than a visible mass of condensed vapour, and the messages we sent to each other had to be written down instead of typed […]
