I've jumped into the Apple Silicon bandwagon as it appears to me it's gotten ahead of Intel. And since the Asahi project has made a lot of work in getting GNU/Linux operational in Apple Silicon, I got interested more. Lastly, it seems to me that Apple MacBook Air M2s are getting low in supply, thus I snatched one when I was able to. One of the first things I did with my MacBook Air M2 is to setup Python Pelican in MacOS. Click the "Read more" button below to see the procedure I used for this.

In the past, I've been using the Projectfiles rc.firewall script for my Slackware firewalling needs. However, I thought I could make use of a more simple script. I then checked the internet if there is one I could use. I then found the script (https://github.com/BrentonEarl/Iptables-Script/blob/master/rc.firewall.laptop) you'll see in this post. It is the /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall script I use now for my Slackware powered laptop. Click "Read more" for the script. :)

For removing duplicate files, I find this script to be useful. Click "Read more" to see the script. :)

This blog used Wordpress in the past. Now, this is a static HTML blog. Among the reasons for this change are better security, lower hosting overhead, lower cost, and lower software maintenance.
