I got an alert on my phone that my watch hasn’t been backed up in a while. To check: Open Galaxy wearables app Watch Settings Accounts and backup Sure enough, it said my last backup was about 2 months ago. Now comes the kicker: No way to manually do one or any message why it didn’t do a backup. I had to google around and found a solution. Not a good one.

We went to Pender Island for my birthday. First day was a big stressful. We headed out early, to hopefully make it onto an early ferry. We couldn’t get a reservation to Pender Island. Unfortunately, we didn’t make it on because there were just too many waiting. We got onto the next one to Swartz Bay. There, we had to leave the ferry termainal, turn around and then drive back in.

This is mainly for myself to remember how I did it. Might be helpful for others as well. Install bridge-utils The bridge-utils are needed to configure a bridge. apt install bridge-utils Configure the bridge interface with DHCP Check with the following command which interface your physical interface is ip -f inet a s Mine is enp1s0 Create the file /etc/network/interfaces.d/br0. I prefer using DHCP over a static configuration. It allows me to configure everything on my DHCP server.

Yes, I am now one of THEM. As stated in my last post, I got a new laptop last year. I wanted to go with Debian, but because the hardware is very new, I had to go with something more … current. My old laptop ran Manjaro, and I was quite happy with it. However, I wanted to go with a base distribution. Nothing that uses another distribution as it’s base.

I got a new Alienware M16 laptop. One thing that I had done on my old laptop was, that I had it automatically lower the CPU frequency when I closed the lid on my laptop. I don’t want it to go to sleep but also don’t need it to run full blast. Yes, the CPU governor should lower the frequency on it’s own, but this way I just force it to the lowest frequency.
