Remove ROM To Use LSI SAS Cards in HPE Servers

August 23, 2020 By Stephen Leave a Comment

I have an HPE ML110 Gen10 server. It's an excellent piece of hardware but does not "like" the LSI SAS card I want to use for FreeNAS. Every time it boots, I get a "red screen of death" because the LSI card is trying to load its ROM. Luckily I stumbled on a fix, and thought I would share it here. Wondering where my enterprise IT content went? Head over to Gestalt IT! HPE … [Read more...] about Remove ROM To Use LSI SAS Cards in HPE Servers

Test Your Wi-Fi with iPerf for iOS

July 9, 2020 By Stephen Leave a Comment

Most people know of Speedtest, the online performance testing website, but most nerds reach for iPerf instead. It's a self-hosted, full-featured, open-source network performance testing application that runs on almost everything. Today I realized that there's a free iOS port of the iPerf3 client! It's super useful! Why iPerf? iPerf is widely used because it's open source, … [Read more...] about Test Your Wi-Fi with iPerf for iOS

Liberate Wi-Fi Smart Bulbs and Switches with Tasmota!

So the first thing I did when cracking open a package of smart … [Read more...] about Liberate Wi-Fi Smart Bulbs and Switches with Tasmota!

What You See and What You Get When You Follow Me

May 28, 2019 By Stephen Leave a Comment

Social media ought to be social, not just a broadcast platform. That's my feeling at least. It's been a while since I've ranted about "write-only" social media accounts, so I thought I might as well do it again. And at the same time, I thought I would update you on my promise to the people who read, follow, and interact with me online. Don't Be Anti-Social It's easy to … [Read more...] about What You See and What You Get When You Follow Me

GPS Time Rollover Failures Keep Happening (But They’re Almost Done)

April 6, 2019 By Stephen Leave a Comment

On Sunday, April 7, every GPS device on the planet will "roll over" the date. This shouldn't affect most devices, but it's likely that quite a few will no longer show the correct date. We know this because it already happened back in 1999 and similar GPS date issues have been cropping up for the last few years. The good news is that all this trouble will soon be at an end, with … [Read more...] about GPS Time Rollover Failures Keep Happening (But They’re Almost Done)
