I will not go through the whole install process again here, you can simply follow the guide as written and replace the debootstrap command with mmdebstrap when you ve reached that step. ## mmdebstrap multi-mirror Debian chroot creation The debootstrap utility is a fantastic tool that allows Continue reading Use…

After a hell of a long time, my new static html site is finally up. It took this long since I had very little time, and couldn’t settle on its look. Either way, I finally made a design I like and managed to find the time to finalize it as much as I could, so there it is. It will require some fine-tuning (it may or may not look good on mobile devices) but for the most part, this is it. Not all…
If you ve read even just a few posts from this site then you re obviously not going to be shocked to learn that I m a big tinkerer.
