Windows 10 Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) 2.0 Guide

If you haven't heard, at the end of May 2020, Microsoft released update 2004. This update updates WSL 1.0 to WSL 2.0 which makes Linux a first class citizen. Linux now has a full kernal, full virtual machine, and really let's you run Linux on Windows. This is super cool.

The update has been rolling out for a while now, but for me, it never was pushed to any of my Windows Pro machines. But you can actually install the Windows 2004 update yourself and get this cool features. Because of this, I created a guide to WSL 2.0 with links to detailed information. Check it out here:

Skip Radio Commercials with Google Home

So have you ever wanted to skip the radio commercials and news at the top and the bottom of the hours when listening on Google Home? After searching around a bit, I could not find a way to directly skip radio ads while listening. However, I think I have found a workaround, and it should also work on an Alexa or similar device. Here are the steps.

• "Hey Google. Mute"
  • Turns off the audio, but keeps tracking the stream.
• "Hey Google. Set a timer for 5 minutes"
  • Google Home starts a timer that goes off in 5 minutes. Set the time to however long you want to skip.
• Timer goes off.
• "Stop"
  • You don't have to say "Hey Google" for a timer.
• "Hey Google. Unmute."

You radio show continues after the 5 minutes as if you have been listening the whole time. Its a good way to skip all the ads and fake news. Enjoy! tags: #googlehome #radio #voice

Viewing ISO Images on MacOS 10.15 Catalina

Just a quick blurb. Yesterday I was installing Ubuntu Linux 18.04 on VMWare Fusion on my Mac. Much to my chagrin, I noticed that DiskImagerMounter could no longer mount any of the new Linux distros. Throwing a no mountable file systems error on Debian and RedHat distros. My guess... There is a new filesystem used for those images that the utility can't read.

Anyway, I just want to test the integrity of the iso. So I found a workaround.

Install 7zip on MacOS

Just install the wonderful 7zip utility on MacOS.

• Install Homebrew if not already installed.
• brew install p7zip
• 7z l your-file-name.iso

That will list the contents of the iso so you can be sure that it is readable. An easy check with little overhead.

To their credit, Dan and Dave were brutally honest about their Game of Thrones experience at the Austin Film festival over the weekend (Oct 26-27, 2019).
