in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
How to install a Minecraft server (Java Edition) on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Yesterday, Eli told me 100 random people were on our Minecraft server. Incidentally I set the server limit to 100. One of the players told him it was advertised on a server list. That’s odd because this is a private Minecraft server and … Read more

Well, I have now been using Quicken for thirty years, spanning three operating systems. I can’t think of any other software I’ve used this long. I started with Quicken for DOS, moved to Quicken for Windows, and eventually landed on Quicken for Mac. Quicken comes from an era when software was useful, comprehensive, and required … Read more

The IPMI fan modes available are Full (9000RPM), Heavy IO (6000RPM), and Optimal (supposed to auto-adjust). Unfortunately, setting the Fan Mode to Optimal seems to have a floor speed of 4500RPM, which is too loud. Even … Read more
