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
If you’re using Mastodon with Cloudflare CDN/protection and minify turned on, you’ll notice the site may look broken (after a few visits, when hitting Cloudflare cache).

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…

Waze not getting a GPS fix
TL;DR: recalibrate your compass. I’ve come across an issue for the past 10 days that Waze kept losing its GPS fix. This meant: constantly switching between 0 and 120 (or whatever) km/h constantly zooming in & out on maps (dynamic zoom level depending on speed) being in a field/not on the road for most of the…
