Have you ever needed to find all the symbolic links you have created to a certain directory? I recently wanted to move some partitions around on my drives and needed to see where I had mounted and linked to them before I moved them.
Here is a quick way to search for all the links.

I already have over 2000km on my Husky and I feel like I haven't gone
anywhere yet. I haven't even taken it on a camping trip. Here are some
of the places I have explored so far (as of Dec. 10, 2024)

SiDI Crossfire 3 Motocross Boots & Shifter Adjustment
by tgutwin
Posted on Tuesday Nov 26, 2024 at 11:10PM in Motorcycles
I bought the super protective SiDI Crossfire 3 Motocross Boots and they feel and fit really good.
I bought the full black size 43 for my 10.5 shoesize foot and the fit is perfect along with the high adjustable inner cuff. They even walk about comfortably - better than I expected. I don't want to injure myself while I am out havin' fun and these offer the best protection I could find.

DBParts Upper Crash Bar On My Norden 901 Expedition
by tgutwin
Posted on Saturday Sep 28, 2024 at 12:20AM in Motorcycles
I purchased & imported and installed an upper crash bar on my Norden. They are from a company called DB Parts in Netherlands??
It's WHITE and goes along well with all the other white accents on the bike.
I was originally going for a black one so it would be kinda less noticeable, but the white looks good!

Installing Husqvarna Handguard kit
by tgutwin
Posted on Sunday Sep 22, 2024 at 06:56PM in Motorcycles
I wanted something more robust, so I could either get some Barkbusters or the OEM equivalent at a much better price. Part# 63502979000AB
They look and feel good and strong - having an embedded aluminum bar for more strength.
HOWEVER; careful on the install - the instruction start off by telling you to cut the existing handlebar and grips back by 20cm. WTF - that is not needed for the Norden 901. DO NOT cut your handlebars; its not needed. I installed fully and completely without cutting anything. See my install below: Read MoreTags: motorcycle

AC measurement using a Multi-Meter

Simple multi-meters probably will not give you an accurate AC reading (in AC mode) when checking the DC side of a rectification circuit. You really need to use an oscilloscope.

ASUS Zenbook UX501V - Upgrade F27 to F28
by tgutwin
Posted on Sunday Jun 03, 2018 at 04:52PM in Technology
UPDATE to F30. and Fixed acpi (see grub commandine below)
NVidia driver issues still persist, but I finally debugged (and disabled) acpi consistent errors that had be plaguing me in F27.
I added a kernel boot param to my Grub2 commandline.
- acpi=off
use the following to fix grub
grubby --info=ALL
grubby --remove-args="acpi=off" --update-kernel /boot/vmlinuz-5.4.19-100.fc30.x86_64grubby --set-default /boot/vmlinuz-5.4.19-100.fc30.x86_64
grub2-mkconfig
grubby --info=ALL
You can also remove a kernel from the grub menu with
grubby --remove-kernel=/boot/vmlinuz-5.5.10-100.fc30.x86_64
You can also remove the actual kernels
rpm -qa kernel
dnf remove kernel-5.5.16-100.fc30.x86_64Shrink Gnome 3 Titlebar

The default window titlebars in Gnome on Fedora 26 ar too fat (thick), so I wanted to reduce their size.
They are config'd in the Themes (/usr/share/Themes or ~/.themes) gtk.css
OR
in a CSS file in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css

FIXED - Jura Milk Foam Splattering

Posted on Saturday Feb 04, 2017 at 12:38PM in General
I have a Jura Z6 Super Automatic Espresso/coffee maker.
Recently I noticed it was NOT making a nice smooth stream of milk foam when previously it had been. It now was splattering all around the cup and not making much milk foam froth.
I fixed it.

Have
you ever wanted to create a JAR file for your Java class but only
wanted to collect and jar the class files required by your class?
I found a very useful class to do this for you:
It is called: ZipLock written by Stuart D. Gathman at his company Business Management Systems.
Direct link to Original ZipLock.java file.
Its perfectly simple and OpenSource! Thanks Stuart.
I also wrote a simple bash script below to wrap the calling of the java class...

Neutron Music Player Song Ratings - Database transfer
by tgutwin
Posted on Thursday Jan 19, 2017 at 08:24PM in Technology
Neutron Music Player Song Ratings: I needed to transfer all the 1000s of song ratings from an old android pad to a new one.
I figured out how to access and restore the song ratings in the Neutron music player (Android) SQLite database.
See the SQL, database tables and how I did it.
