Take a look at the gaming room of this guy. He is actually one of the people who used to work for Sierra back in the 90s. Or in other words, the glory days of gaming. I’m so jealous of this guy’s collection. I also want this also! I NEED THIS!! I REALLY NEED THIS BECAUSE OF REASONS!! I hate this guy so much right now. Not really, of course, …
Today I received an e-mail from Blizzard informing me that I have been selected to participate in the alpha test version for the upcoming expansion Battle for Azeroth. I hope this means that I will automatically also get access to the beta version that will be released soon. I’m not going to try the alpha version because well… it’s alpha. I’m not even sure if I will be trying the …
I was watching the results of yesterday’s voting elections and found out that there’s a local political party in Amsterdam called Ubuntu so I was like WTF!?
I like to keep a monitoring eye on my servers, as most people who manage servers do. I have one central server that monitors the others. I choose to use a central server, so the other ones don’t have to use any extra resources. But now I found a tool that can be run on every Linux based server with SNMP, that barely uses any resources. And it shows a …
Just found an awesome script online that I tested today and it works great. It’s a script that allows you to create an ISO for an unattended installation for Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS. Just made myself one of those ISO’s, and I’m going to try to see if I can implement it in my PXE environment. If not, I can always place it on a USB flash drive and boot from …
From Wiki: The IBM 1401 is a variable word length decimal computer that was announced by IBM on October 5, 1959. The first member of the highly successful IBM 1400 series, it was aimed at replacing unit record equipment for processing data stored on punched cards and at providing peripheral services for larger computers. The 1401 is considered to be the Model-T Ford of the computer industry, because it was …
Today was a good day for me in the World of Warcraft. I got my achievement Ahead of the Curve: Argus the Unmaker by killing Argus in Antorus on Heroic difficulty. That means I also received the awesome mount that goes perfect with my transmog. Many thanks to Laurens and the people in his guild who made this possible by boosting me. So that’s one thing to cross off my …
Many cloud storage services give you the option to mount your online storage as an extra drive on your operating system. This can be done really easy on any operating system that runs a desktop environment. But I wanted to add my storage as a mounted drive on Ubuntu Server, and it does not use a desktop environment, so I use WinSCP and Putty to administrate my server. I did some …
I don’t often think about playing any other game than World of Warcraft, but when I do, it’s about Sea of Thieves. After watching the video below, I realized it might be a lot of fun and really entertaining to play with some friends, and it comes pretty close to how me and my friends entertain ourselves in the world, of warcraft. One minor issue is that I don’t have …
When I was a kid, a brand-new invention called the CD player entered our lives. Along with it came, naturally, CD’s themselves. I was lucky enough that my parents decided to buy one of these CD players early on, while the music industry was still working very hard to produce these magic, shiny discs with digitalized audio. I remember the exact moment when I was with my dad at the …
Take a look at this page for instructions on how to add a terminal to your Windows 10 in a matter of seconds. I just installed it, and I’m very pleased with it so far. Could this mean I will stop using Putty after all these years? I’m not sure yet, but I’m going to find out really soon.
People tell me I’m a funny guy. And I know I can be funny. I don’t know where it comes from or why I do it, but it’s just something that helps me to get through my life or something. A coping mechanism, perhaps? So I got that going for me, which is nice. Here’s a lovely article I would like you to read. I’m only doing this to prove …
Now please let me know if you disagree if this is not the best song ever to sing a long with the volume at a volume that you can’t keep up that high for too long cause else your neighbors will start calling the cops. If you lived through the nineties, fully aware, then you will be one of them people that knows exactly what I mean. Enjoy! And don’t …
I caved in, again. I created a new account on the Instagramz. My previous account was hacked, and it made it so that I was following thousands of people I didn’t want to follow. So I disabled the account, made a new temporary one in the meantime, and now that my previous account name became available again I re-opened ustoopia at the Instagramz. Not sure yet if I’ll be using …
Blizzard announced at Blizzcon 2017 that a new World of Warcraft called Battle for Azeroth expansion will be released somewhere next year. Awesome introduction cinematic, as always. I’m excited! I think most players are excited. Are you excited? The video below shows all the previous World of Warcraft Expansion cinematics in chronological order, including the very first one from 2004. That’s the one that marks my introduction to the game …
Here are a couple of things that you should do after you’ve installed Raspbian on your Raspberry Pi. Installing the Raspbian operating system itself is very easy, so I’m not going into that. You can figure that out on your own. This article is just about a couple of things that you should, or could, do after installing the operating system. Click on the “read more” link below to get …
For me personally, the Netflix TV-series The Expanse managed to fill a void that was created by what I believe to be a failing Star Trek sequel called Discovery that is also on Netflix. If you are, like me, somewhat disappointed in the new Star Trek series but still feel a primal urge for an excellent sci-fi series, I would advise you choose to watch The Expanse. You will binge-watch …
I know it might be a bit immature, but I just can’t help laughing my ass off at this video. I can keep watching this video. He’s got talent!
Here’s a video from the TV-news in 1994 about the traffic chaos problems around Eindhoven, the Netherlands caused by the hard-rock festival Dynamo Open Air that was visited by 125.000 people. Looking at the video now makes me feel ancient because I was at this festival with two good friends when I was in my puberty, and it all looks so dated looking at it now. I must say it …
Let me tell you about Laurens. He’s a young Dutch guy with a fresh family, and I know him because he also plays the game World of Warcraft. He became a member of our guild for a while, and we had the opportunity to get to know him through Discord. Furthermore, he is an intelligent young man, with a great sense of humor, and he also carries the ADHD label …
Many people have asked me questions about my colorblindness, but I’ve never been able to explain it as clear and informative as the fellow who made this video.
