Last week, I bit the bullet and upgraded both my personal desktop and work laptop (Lenovo P1) to Fedora 42. With Fedora 41 retiring in less than 6 months, procrastination wasn’t an option. Here’s my experience - including the moment my desktop decided to play dead during the upgrade.
I recently hit an issue when trying to upgrade 1Password on my Linux system (I’m running Fedora 41, but this affects all Linux distributions). Despite being on 1Password version 8.10.75, which should have automatically updated the GPG key according to 1Password’s own guidance, I couldn’t upgrade to version 8.10.78.
Here’s how I fixed it.
In February, a new version of the Chocolatey Test Environment was released. And, like last time when I wanted to use it under VMware Workstation, it got me thinking how I would be able to use it under KVM this time?
I’ve been using KVM for virtualization after making the leap from Windows to Linux over 18 months ago. Like most hypervisors, virtual machines under KVM need to be configured to run at their best. Let look at how to get the best from Windows Operating System guests under Linux KVM.
I am honoured to be speaking at the PowerShell and DevOps Global Summit, in Seattle, Washington, USA again this year. This will be the second year in a row that I have spoken, and my third year attending, this fantastic PowerShell event, where the welcome is warm from both the organizers and the attendees.
This year I had the pleasure of speaking at the PowerShell and DevOps Global Summit and catching up with a few attendees during the day. I wanted to share my experiences of the event and my talks.
I’ll be attending PSConfEU this year in Antwerp, Belgium, between 24 and 27 June 2024. I won’t be speaking this year but will be at the Chocolatey booth with my colleague James Ruskin.
To keep a record of changes in my office, I wrote the first post about it in January 2022 and carried on with an update in 2023. Let’s continue the tradition for 2024.
It’s been difficult to receive notifications of Disqus comments on any posts on the blog. As a result the majority of comments went unanswered. I was disappointed that people took the time to leave comments, and I never answered because I didn’t know about it!
Recently I was reading a blog post on Async / Await feature of Rust. Getting to the bottom of the post, I noticed the comments section was using giscus. Giscus uses GitHub Discussions for it’s commenting, and is heavily inspired by another project I looked at a little while ago, utterances. Utterances uses GitHub Issues to store and retrieve comments but I didn’t feel that this was a good solution for the blog comments. But giscus, using GitHub Discussions, is something I want to use and I’ve now implemented it on the site.
