My Little Pocket Universe
Scott Garrett I have wanted to use the tmux integration in iTerm2 for a long time now, but whenever I would go in to iTerm2, it would change things so that the mouse wheel (trackpad scroll) would cycle through the shell history instead of scrolling back through the buffer. I cannot image any sane person would want … Read more
So you have an Apple Vision Pro, or its little cousin the Oculus Quest and you want to use the spatial movie format. This is not a new format, it has been around since 2014, but Apple is the first to start using it prominently. Sure, there is whatever they put on Disney+, or the … Read more
Redis is a wonderful tool, but (by design) it hoovers up all the RAM, and even dips into swap space on a linux host. In fact, the official documentation recommends that you disable swap entirely on the host. But in the real world, that is not always an option. Sometimes, depending on your application design, … Read more
A default setting for the Apple Vision Pro using an external keyboard was driving me mad; the space bar and the tab key were hijacked to serve as Accessibility functions, which meant that in may places where you wanted to type, hitting the space bar would perform the “Activate” function rather than acting as a … Read more

The firmware cannot cope with not being able to access … Read more
After years and multiple major releases of tvOS of troubleshooting my Wifi network, and Homekit devices, and increasing the size of the dent in my forehead, I finally figured out why my Homekit environment was so unstable. It turns out if you have an AppleTV (running 16.6 or prior as of this writing) as the … Read more
Add this code to the functions.php file of the active theme: When this is in place, a normal user will not see the URL field. If you get messages posted that still have a URL, you know it is SPAM and can junk it.
This is just a quick page where I am collecting various bits of info available on Asus’ page, and other forums. Remember, this is a portable device running Windows. It is not going to be easy or pretty, but it can be made into something useful. The easiest thing to make it Steam Deck like … Read more
So, like all games these days, Diablo IV (and any other Blizzard game) requires the use of an unnecessary crappy launcher that is apparently truly unnecessary, as one of its settings is to close on game launch.
