One of my favorite religious symbols – the Shiva Nataraja
A symbol of creation and destruction and the struggle to overcome ego through #spiritual #contemplation, the Shiva Nataraja, or Dancing Shiva is one of my favorite religious symbols. This explanation of the symbol by Aldous Huxley isn’t very thorough, but it’s clear and easy to understand. I think what I appreciate so much about it … Continue reading One of my favorite religious symbols – the Shiva Nataraja →
Getting Fallout 76 to work on Kubuntu 21.04
Ok. I managed to get #Fallout76 working on Kubuntu 21.04. My laptop has an Nvidia GTX 970M, so the performance was abysmal, but at least I know it can be done. I had to install Glorious Eggroll Proton 6-16-GE-1, Nvidia driver 418.211.00, and then rename some files. I had some issues getting Kubuntu to recognize … Continue reading Getting Fallout 76 to work on Kubuntu 21.04 →
Site recently migrated to new host
Hi. This site was recently migrated from DreamHost to WordPress.com. It looks like the migration lost some images, so those will have to be re-added manually. Update: The images should be fixed. Next, I had an “embed anything” plugin while using self-hosted WordPress that I’d used regularly in my recent posts, so I need to … Continue reading Site recently migrated to new host →
If you accidentally deleted your Fallout76 account by unlinking…
Then there’s a really simple way to fix it. Two weeks ago, I realized that I had two Bethesda accounts. My Steam account was linked to one and my Xbox account was linked to another. I needed to consolidate them so that I could switch from playing Fallout 76 on Xbox for PC to Steam. … Continue reading If you accidentally deleted your Fallout76 account by unlinking… →
I finally found out why my WordPress is so slow on DreamHost
I’ve had DreamHost Shared hosting for about 9-10 years. For the first 5-6 years, everything was great, but then my site started to slow down. After years of trying different things, I think I’ve finally figured out what the issue was, and it doesn’t really make any sense to me, but it works, so I’m … Continue reading I finally found out why my WordPress is so slow on DreamHost →
Compassionate use of force
“You must not hate those who do wrong or harmful things; but with compassion, you must do what you can to stop them – for they are harming themselves, as well as those who suffer from their actions.” Dalai Lama XIV
Dune sequel books contain really complex themes and ideas
I’m surprised by how well the story has held up, considering that it was written in the 70s. I need to reread the part about the transformation in the desert, because I’m not sure how or if that really fit into the story’s world. It felt more like magic than science or evolution. The author … Continue reading Dune sequel books contain really complex themes and ideas →
Bethesda accidentally deleted my Fallout 76 account
Update: I was able to fix the problem and regain access to my character and progress. Here’s how. I had a conversation with #Bethesda Support about unlinking my Xbox Live account and ended the conversation with telling them directly not to do it because they told me it would result in loss of characters/progress/etc. in … Continue reading Bethesda accidentally deleted my Fallout 76 account →
I love you more than tuna
Today is the two-year anniversary of the passing of our favorite cat, Thumper. I picked up a copy of this book a few months ago and hid it on top of the bookshelf. This evening, I pulled it down and my wife and I read it together. Even after two years, it’s hard to comprehend … Continue reading I love you more than tuna →
