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:

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.
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

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.
Just install the wonderful 7zip utility on
MacOS.
brew install p7zip7z l your-file-name.isoThat will list the contents of the iso so you can be sure that it is readable. An easy check with little overhead.

I'm starting a new feature on my site, content HQ pages.
Information on TV shows and movies that I am currently
watching or plan to watch. Each HQ page is a landing page
for a show with links to the key information and the latest
stories.
The first page is up for Netflix's the Witcher. Enjoy! Still working on a system for feedback, but will post on that once I figure something out.
