I use Windows at home as a gaming platform. I’ve used a Mac laptop (a 2013 Air I purchased in, if I recall, 2016, and now from my job, a Pro) for everything else since I got it, but it’s still difficult to beat Windows for gaming. And let’s be honest, Windows 7 was pretty decent for a desktop OS. Windows 10 definitely had and continues to have its growing pains, but I’ve come around to it....
OK, this is actually about Docker and disk space, but close enough. While trying to download ultra high definition Linux ISOs, I encountered an error from Transmission, running in Docker: “No space left on device.” Odd, considering I was pretty sure I had a few TB free. Let’s see if the logs have anything useful to say (also, yes, I checked around the lines in question to see if there was other information):...
Not exactly SRE/DevOps, but I need to write something, so here we are. Also, while I receive no kickbacks from anyone, and don’t have sponsored links, I am definitely being a cheerleader for Ubiquiti here.

Back in the day of the WRT54G, it honestly wasn’t that bad, but it’s hard to say if the reliability was a result of the simpler hardware and software, or the far fewer clients per AP - IoT wasn’t really a thing in the early 2000s....
This is not a blog entry on how to move Lightsail content to EC2, as those guides already exist in AWS’ fantastic documentation. This is about my trials and tribulations in getting it up and running, and how I fixed a niggling problem I’ve had since the beginning of this blog (and the other sites running alongside it). Past readers will note that that I’ve had issues with this site running alongside its siblings....
XML-RPC, in case you aren’t living in the early 2000s, is a remote procedural call (get it?) that encodes its HTTP returns in XML. It has been largely replaced with RESTful APIs, but it still exists. The two places I’m personally aware of are rtorrent, and Wordpress. The former I lived with, mainly because nothing was exposed to the internet; the latter I wasn’t aware of until today. I thought I had been the victim of a DoS attack using it as a vector but (SPOILER) I don’t believe that to be the case....
