Time is money, and my 5+ year old desktop is costing me a heap of it right now. The final straw has come when processing several terabytes of stealer logs which has taken forever. Meanwhile, Stefan has been flying through them with a massive NVMe drive on a fast motherboard.

So, in no particular order, here's what I need it to do:

Read and write multi-terabyte files fast
Run SQL Server locally for both development and querying of large data sets (the latter is especially memory intensive)
Dev environment is largely Visual Studio, SSMS and other (less intensive) tools
Run a gazillion simultaneous Chrome tabs 😛

And here's my current thinking:

A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins

This guide is for homelab admins who understand IPv4s well but find setting up IPv6 hard or annoying because things work differently. In some ways, managing an IPv6 network can be simpler than IPv4, one just needs to learn some new concepts and discard some old ones.

Let’s begin.

First of all, there are some concepts that one must unlearn from ipv4:

Concept 1

	#!/bin/sh

	# dfn: df normalized, or df not noisy, or df nicely, or df new
	#
	# Whatever you want to call it, this script makes df useful again.
	# It removes read-only disks for Time Machine backups, system volumes
	# that can't be modified, unbrowsable volumes, and other stuff you don't
	# really care about.
	#
	# Instead, you get the same drives that you see on your Mac desktop in an

	#!/usr/bin/swift

	// Disable everything written to stderr
	freopen("/dev/null", "w", stderr)

	struct Cookie {

	import subprocess
	import re
	import sys
	from Levenshtein import ratio
	from collections import defaultdict, Counter

	# Configuration: Adjust as needed
	INCLUDE_PARENTHESES = False # Set to True to include parentheticals, False to exclude them
	OUTPUT_TO_CLIPBOARD = True # Set to True to copy output to clipboard, False to print to console


	#cd into directory in Finder's front window
	function cdf() {
	finderPath=`osascript -e 'try
	tell application "Finder" to set the source_folder to (folder of the front window) as alias
	on error
	tell application "Finder" to set source_folder to insertion location as alias
	end try
	return POSIX path of source_folder as string'`
	cd "$finderPath"

	Disclaimer: many of those are extremely important but I believe that social media isn't fit to discuss them
