Making Progress Learning the Basics of Synology

I was watching the news last week during the awful California fires, and they interviewed a guy who only had time to grab his family and run out of their home before it was engulfed in flames. He told the reporter that he didn’t have time to get his laptop which had his children’s baby […]

Problem to be Solved I have done something very drastic under the hood on podfeet.com and you haven’t even noticed! In a way, that’s a very good thing.

We have a listener contribution for the show, but before I can give it to you, I have to tell you a story to set it up. As you most certainly recall, I did a nuke and pave of my MacBook Pro a few weeks ago for my installation of Mojave. I checked all of […]
