MS Word says "Cannot find file"

MS Word error message
MS Word at work just complained that it cannot find the file that I told it to open. The solution was to use the File -> Open menu and choose the "Open and repair" button.

Installing Gentoo with full disk encryption

The purpose of this exercise - install Gentoo where all disk partitions are encrypted. Boot from a system rescue disk and partition the disk - use GPT partition table where the first partition is reserved, second is the boot, and the third one is for the rest of the data. Device Start End Sectors Size Type /dev/sda1 2048 32767 30720 15M BIOS boot /dev/sda2 32768 442367 409600 200M Linux filesystem /dev/sda3 442368 375093902 374651535 178.7G Linux filesystem Encrypt partitions number 2 and 3, and open them cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda2 cryptsetup luksFormat /dev/sda3 cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 crypt_boot cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 crypt_data Format the boot partition mkfs.btrfs /dev/mapper/crypt_boot Prepare LVM for the rest, and format the top level vgcreate vg0 /dev/mapper/crypt_data lvcreate -l 100%FREE -n data vg0 mkfs.btrfs /dev/vg0/data Mount and set up any subvolumes mount /dev/vg0/data /mnt/gentoo btrfs subvol create /mnt/gentoo/@ /mnt/gentoo/@home umount /mnt/gentoo Now...

Remotely connect to Windows 11 PC using a "passwordless" account

Remotely connecting to a Windows PC with a Microsoft "passwordless" is possible and I finally found a simple workaround at https://cmdrkeene.com/remote-desktop-with-microsoft-account-sign-in/ Copying it here is it does not get lost: On the PC hosting the remote desktop session (running Windows Pro or better), run the following command, replacing the example email address with your Microsoft Account email address that you use to login to the computer. runas /u:MicrosoftAccount\username@example.com winver This command runs the “winver” program under the credentials of the user account specified. It sounds (and is) pretty simple, but what it does in the background is caches your Microsoft Account credentials. Since your local user account had no password, it wasn’t eligible for RDP use even if it has appropriate permissions otherwise.

Tracking Wordpress in Git

I finally decided to sign up for github. What prompted me was the desire to upgrade this blog to WordPress 3.0, from its current Wordpress MU 1.5.1. I find that it is much easier to pull in an upstream branch and make my own changes on top if I use git as opposed to subversion. And since importing the wordpress svn repository into git was an overnight process, I decided to share the resulting git repo on github, so others can speed up their own wordpress git import should they ever want to do that. And that is how my first ever github repo became a repo that is just tracking the progress of wordpress. Good enough for a start. I did not use the default git-svn configuration because it was lacking a few feature I like. First, my local repo is not using the default git-svn branch to tag mapping. Instead, I configure git-svn to prefix all remote branches with "svn" so they are easy to follow. The "trunk" I also push into a branch named trunk, to make it easy to follow ...
