Unable to connect with Autodesk Desktop Licensing Service
Recently migrated Shan from Windows to an Apple/macOS and every reboot she kept getting “Unable to connect with Autodesk Desktop Licensing Service” when launching AutoCAD on her Mac. The official bullshit is to reinstall the Licensing Service (why is there even such a thing). But alas, that didn’t fix it. Also updating AutoCad to 2025…

NextDNS and NetworkManager
A while back, I wrote about installing NetworkManager if NextDNS activate fails to work. Only… I realised that for some reason on Raspberry Pi (4), WiFi stopped working with the following errors: The WiFi SSID and password (wpa_supplicant) never changed, so I wasn’t sure what it was. However, as most Pi’s are wired I didn’t…

Mounting a whole disk with partitions
I reinstalled one of my RPis (moving from 32 to 64 bit). Before doing the full reinstall, I took a dump (dd) of my disk. Usually, I create one per partition, but this was the Christmas season, and I was half occupied with feasting and half occupied with entertaining Ila. So, mistakes were made. I…

NetworkManager exit status 1
Recently reinstalled NextDNS on a RPi4 64bit and came across this error: It seems like NextDNS was actually running, but just throwing an error when running nextdns activate. Restarting did seem to work without throwing any error. The logs showed the same error: The solution was (as root): Looks like, instead of resolvconf, openresolv was…

Using Mastodon with Cloudflare

And you’ll notice errors in the webdev tools similar to Failed to find a valid digest in the ‘integrity’ attribute, with computed SHA-256 integrity: Basically, the sha256 hash doesn’t…

Screen going black with AutoCAD (LT)
I am not sure what is the problem — I’ve upgraded Shan’s 27″ 2k monitor to a 32″ 4k monitor and AutoCAD LT recently updated from 2021 to 2022. Shan‘s been using a 2017 i5 NUC (NUC7i5BNB) with 32Gb RAM using the onboard GPU. Something that should be plenty for a bit of Windows, Chrome,…

Apple Watch OS7 stopped showing the date
I’ve been running the Apple WatchOS 7 beta for a while now, and when updating, my watch face lost the “date”: it was no longer showing the date and day of the week (i.e. Fri). Quite annoying — but it’s a beta after all. I shouldn’t complain. I did what every good beta tester would…

Nexus 5: boot loop
I had a Nexus 5 stuck in a boot loop (Android logo/animation in a loop, not actually booting). This is what I think I’ve done to fix the issue. It seemed that /persist partition was corrupt. I tried a factory reset, flash new stock images, and clear cache, etc before trying the following. Note that…
