  • Using Clonezilla expert mode and sfdisk for replacing a ~1 TB disk with a ~240 GB disk

    Introduction I’ve been using Clonezilla (a small bootable GNU/Linux distribution) for doing full harddisk backups (images) for perhaps more than 10 years (I don’t remember it, but a long time). Making a simple Clonezilla backup image is too simple a task to write a blog post about. Recently I did something which for me is…


  • More sporadic blog posts in the future, unfortunately – but still alive…

    Background intention: To publish once per month When I started this blog some months ago I had a few ideas about topics I at least “quickly” could write about, if I suddenly became too busy with other things and didn’t have enough time to come up with a good topic to write about. The past…


  • How to get (setup and run) a totally free hosted email server in the cloud?

    Introduction As some readers of this blog may know, I’m pretty happy with Oracle Cloud for learning, experimenting with and/or improving my cloud-skills and the reason is that it’s free and not only that: I feel I get a lot of free resources (up to 4 instances, 24 GB RAM and 200 GB space, see…


  • Introduction to keyboard ergonomics (mostly for people typing +6 hours a day on a keyboard)

    Why I think keyboard ergonomics is important In this post I’ll explain what I do and have been done for many years, to minimize the problems from typing for sometimes many hours on a keyboard – first on the job and later back home, in the evenings/weekends etc. I’ll go through my own experiences and…


  • Why and how I use KVM over IP with the BliKVM-box, based on the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4

    Introduction The problem I had and have with the usual KVM over IP-switches, is that I want a solution so I can remotely control my Proxmox/pfSense-server, even if my whole network is down – which it can or will be, if either Proxmox or pfSense misbehaves, for whatever reason. As described in earlier blog posts,…


  • Why I’m using pfSense and a brief walkthrough of my setup (part 2/2)

    Disclaimer: This won’t be a tutorial or explanation about how to setup things, because that’ll take way too long. I’ll quickly go through some of the choices I’ve made and maybe it can serve as inspiration to others. There are currently a lot of tutorials for setting up some of the details in pfSense, please…


  • Why I think everyone should do network segmentation (part 1/2)

    IOT-devices are insecure and exist in every modern home: With the enormous amount of connected small IOT-devices in peoples’ homes, I think it’s becoming more and more important to separate “dumb IOT” devices that are usually not receiving security/firmware updates a moment after they’ve been bought. Examples of such devices can be old phones/tablets, outdated…


  • First blog post about why I’m starting this up.

    An introduction: The story behind this webpage is that I bought this domain back in July 2022. I bought it for learning new things and if I one day screw everything up, no harm is done. I decided to host the web- and mail-server of this domain, on a free Oracle Cloud-account. I by the…
