At this point, I think I’ve got as much as I’m going to get out of his course. I like him and have learned a few things. However he’s at a point where he’s building a hypothetical app…in this case a web app. Which seems like a popular thing to do in tutorial videos. But …

Network Chuck
I’ve run across him through the years, but never really checked him out. His free CCNA YouTube course is cool for two reasons…so far. I took a Cisco router configuration class probably 25 years ago. But I didn’t understand things the way I should. Because it was abstract to me. I wasn’t the network guy …
CCNA course
Attempted to take and/or start NetworkChucks free CCNA course on YouTube. However he needs you to install Cisco Packet Tracer. So after registering with my email and agreeing to all kind of terms, I downloaded the 64bit deb installer for Ubuntu. But the installing like I usually do by double clicking…failed. My sinuses are particularly …

Windows/Linux copy&paste
Ok it doesn’t appear to work until after you sign on. Because I can’t copy&paste my pin number. And it’s not a one time only command.
Number of tabs open
Somebody on Twitter asked how many tabs do you have open. So I googled and didn’t find a straight forward answer. So I started playing and found my own answer…in Firefox. Right click on a tab and click “Select All Tabs”Right click on a tab again and and there will be a item that says …
QEMU – Start first guest
Since Windows is so foreign to me at this point. I thought it would be interesting to install/run Windows 10 on a Linux VM. I think I got it here. I think I used Windows ME on my moms computer and Windows 2000 and many Linux distros on Virtualbox. I was using Virtualbox mainly to …
