Network Engineering is not just a job. It is a lifestyle
The post on this page is mainly me ranting on something or some success story. These can be related to IT or non-IT stuff.
Whenever I travel, I always bring a travel router with me. The reason is I really don’t trust the hotel or someone else’s network. There many reasons why you shouldn’t use public or public networks. To name a few, man-in-the-middle attacks, malware, identity theft, etc. To avoid all these issues, I use OpenVPN or Wireguard …
I am using CentOS Stream for one of my VMs and encountered this error. I have not updated my Stream in a while, but this is really annoying thing to deal with. It is not hard to fix, but very inconvient. The commands below are what worked for me. For some articles online you will …
I really like the Grandstream access points. However, their documentation is not very informative. I tried to upgrade my GWN7660 AP and it kept failing. If you have your Manager/Controller on a different network, it is not as easy as the vendor shows it in their demo. I am using OPNsense as my firewall and …
I finally experience a LUKS disk that I could not open. It was not a good experience, but it was a good opportunity to use LUKS header. For this to work, you will need the LUKS header for that specific disk. After the above command, open the encrypted disk like you normally do. I hope …

If you have some media that require renaming, Filebot can quickly rename a bulk of media files by pulling their metadata from specific resources.

I recently encountered this failed container backups not too long ago. The error I was getting is below. To fix the issue, editing the /etc/vzdump.conf file did the trick for …
When you installed Cockpit in Debian system and some of your interfaces are showing under the Unmanage interfaces section, the solution is to comment out the intefaces in /etc/network/interfaces. This will make the network-manager manage the interfaces; therefore, Cockpit will be able to manage the interfaces. Comment out the physical interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces. Restart the …
This is really annoying because I could not mount the NFS export from my darktower NAS. I kept getting the error as shown in the feature image above. The see the text version below. This is probably a bug in Proxmox 6.3-3. Apparently, if you login via CLI and run the df command, you will …
Encountered this annoying error on Emby the other day. To make long story short, my root disk does not have enough space for a new file. The file in question is the transcoding files that are located in /var/lib/emby/transcoding-temp. Somehow the transcoding folder ate all the free space that my server has. My understanding is, …
