After switching to kernel 4.13 I suddenly got a bunch of these errors when attempting to mount my NAS using CIFS (samba):
CIFS VFS: ioctl error in smb2_get_dfs_refer
Here’s how to easily solve the problem.
I’ve been running Ubuntu “server” for quite some time on my workstation now, and lately the upgrade to 17.10 completely broke it.

There are a few tweaks involved in getting the most out of any of the AMD Ryzen CPUs.
Here I’ll cover these, so you can get the most value out of your system.

If you’re hosting an ASP.Net website on Microsoft IIS, you’ve likely seen requests being queued from time to time.

My wife recently started playing Sims 4 on our TV, however she found the interface to be slightly on the small size. Luckily changing this is extremely simple.
Pretty much everyone I know never enable XMP, so I figure a blog post about what, why and how was in order.
Here I’ll explain what XMP is, why you want to enable it, and how to do it. Most likely you’ll get some free performance by following this post.
