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 …
Unattended Ubuntu ISO Maker
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 …

Achieving Ahead of the Curve: Argus the Unmaker
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 …
Adding cloud storage as permanent mount to Ubuntu Server 16.04
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 …
Sea of Thieves
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 …
Greatest guitar solo by Mark Knopfler with Dire Straits – Sultans of Swing live
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 …
Add Ubuntu Terminal to Windows 10
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
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 …
A good sing-a-long song
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 …
