  • I am an IT technician, mainly focused on Windows, but I have also several years as a Linux sysadmin on my CV.

    Now, you need to remember that Linux and Wondows have vastly different stratergies for how they work.

    Linux, as you say, will allow you to view and service every part of it, as long as you know how, Windows on the other hand is more like a black box, you need to use special tools to get through the cover and access the information you may need.

    Powershell is your friend, I have only written batchfiles, bash scripts and Powershell scripts for managing systems, and out of these I find Poweshell the easiest.

    365… Microsoft loves to hide settings in the web UI, there are plenty of settings you can only set through Powershell.

    VSCode is the best editor for Powershell as far as I am concerned, I highly recommend that you use it.










  • Do you know what happens to the “casualties” that are rounded up as well?

    Their trust in the government is broken, and at the same time they will be exposed to the true criminals and gang members, who will tell them that this is exactly why you need a gang, to protect yourself from the government.

    And so the radicalization starts.

    When innocent people starts having to protect themselves from the government instead of the government protecting the innocent, then you have a BIG problem.

    El Salvador might be safer now than before, sure, but if they only focus on punnishments, it is doomed to fail.





  • Never searched other than at airports security check.

    But I have been questioned by airport security guards outside the airport.

    I was at my favourite photo spot by the airport, it was evening, late summer in Sweden, there had been an gorgeous sunset, with aircrafts landing directly into the sunset.

    Anyway, I was almost done and wanted to take a few more photos of the next aircraft coming into land.

    The photo spot I was at was outside the fence but among the approach lights, it is a very popular spot to watch aircraft.

    Anyway, as I am standing there with my camera on a tripod, waiting for the next plane, I see two small cars with emergency lights comming from opposite ends of the road, stopping by the barrier to stop cars from driving up among the lights, two guards approach me.

    And I stand there, overweight, wearing a linnen shirt and linnen shorts, with a camera on a tripod, and before they could say anything, I just asked innocently “Hi, have I done something wrong?”.

    They were clearly not really sure and responded in a slightly sheepish tone “We are not really sure…”

    I explained that I was just about to take some last photos before heading back to the bus to go home.

    There wasn’t much more to say, I packed up my things and walked back to the bus stop.


    Second to last time I visited Spain, I was selected randomly for an extra check at the airport as I was traveling home to Sweden, they swabbed my jacket and my backpack, they were perfectly polite and professional.




  • I am actually about to head out and get some smoked salmon and Västerbottenost, that is a very good combo.

    Current dinner plans are “Stoy’s Special Swedish Wrap”:

    You need:

    • Soft Swedish tunnbröd
    • Cold smoked salmon
    • Grated Västerbottenost
    • Lettuce
    • Tomato
    • Cuecumber
    • Lime

    Start by placing smoked salmon on the Tunnbröd, sprinkle Västerbottenost over it, squeeze some lime over it, put two leaves of lettuce on the samlon, take two thin slices of tomato on top of the lettuce, add thin slices of cuecumber, roll it all up, enjoy!
