I bought a mini PC recently and wanted to use it as a light game streaming server. Originally, I wanted to use Arch Linux as the OS, but after a few tries, I’m so fed up with the issues I had, so I switched back to Windows 11. Yesterday, I wanted to give it a shot with Ubuntu and I’m too lazy to install everything back if I’m not satisfied with the result, so I decided to give Clonezilla a try and used it to backup my Windows install. Like I thought, I’m still not happy with Linux as the game streaming server OS, so I restored my Windows install back using Clonezilla. And it only took 40mins to restore my 900GB+ image. Oh man, it’s free and great!

Time to start painting and waterslides

I need to decorate my boring work table.

Cool looking kit

I finally have some time today to upgrade my web server from the Pi 4 to Pi 5. I was using the SanDisk 128GB SD card for my Pi 4 server, it was really stable and did not fail for really long time. I was thinking should I continue to use the same SD card or upgrade to a SSD for my Pi 5. Recently there are a lot of sales going on, so I decided to try using a SSD to improve the speed and the long term stability. The setup was really quick and I really need to shout out to the updraftplus plugin for WordPress. It helped me a lot on the backup and restore for this blog. Everyone should give it a try if you wanna have a simple and easy backup/restore solution for your WordPress site!
