I did end up ordering a [[Mac Mini]] as a new home desktop PC, so now I need to order RAM.

I had [previously]({% link _logs/2020-09-26-journal.md %}) looked up OWC RAM, and I can order direct from them. Are there local places in Vancouver? Listed as resellers, [dmac don't list the 2018/2020 Mac Mini](https://www.dmac.ca/mac-mini-mac-pro) and [Simply doesn't seem to list the right RAM either](https://www.simply.ca/collections/ram).[[Why don't small businesses keep their websites up to date???::rmn]] OK, guess I order [direct from OWC](https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/mac-mini), Total cost was $258CAD including shipping and duties.

Rachael and I actually slept in a bit (for us) and had breakfast at home, and then went out to the Vancouver Art Gallery.

You need to book an appointment ahead of time, and have to wear a mask in the gallery. There were maybe 4 other people we encountered wandering around during our booking slot.

The Victor Vasarely exhibition -- pop art -- was amazing. I [posted on social.coop](https://social.coop/@bmann/105210203333395681), including a painting that matches Rachael's new sweater. We'll see if I get around to posting more research and photos about Vasarely later.

Then we went to The Bay. Much more crowded and feeling uncomfortable, although masks are required. Bought a 9x13" baking pan, and a quarter sheet with a grill/tray that will be for roasting various things.

## Researching External Drives at OWC

I bought my RAM upgrade for the Mac Mini[^notinstalled] at OWC, and thought I'd look at their external drive options too.

[^notinstalled]: Still not installed! The last Amazon delivery got me the right T6 "secure" size of screwdriver, and I got two of the flush fit screws off, but the other ones won't turn with the screwdriver. I don't really know what I'm going to do at this point. I had read elsewhere about someone in the same situation whose screws didn't turn out of the box, and took it in to Apple to help with having the screws removed. I'm super annoyed that I can't get this done!

I figured out that I had [[Paperspace]] set to auto-shutdown after 1 hour, and it doesn't recognize being connected via [[Parsec]]. Reset that to 8 hours.

The 200GB of storage is for datasets and ML notebook stuff. I bumped the machine storage to 250GB -- and so I can install [[Horizon Zero Dawn]] and [[Outriders]] as well as TTW. For an extra $3 per month? So maybe base storage is $10/month as the base price, plus the 51¢/hour? Will see!

And now I've gotten my local TiddlyWiki up and running again. Replace all the notes portion that is currently in Jekyll with a published to flat files TW? Or just the "journal" style log entries? Really, the benefit is having it all in one file where everything can be cross linked.

Because this is in individual tiddler mode, I'm not sure if I can easily use the Quine app. I can turn it into a single file wiki and then drag and drop back into this checked in source code. <<tag [[To Do]]>>[[Investigate using Quine App with these notes]].

title: Finding bootable USB

Finally switched over to searching using Google and found [[How to Create Windows 10 Bootable USB on Mac with or without Bootcamp]].

I say finally, because I found a bunch of duplicate apps that didn't work on Monterey, were search optimized, and heck, may have put something on my machine here -- that's how sketchy it seems.

Used [[UNetbootin]] -- but Disk Utility doesn't think it's bootable, so may need to try again.

Also hooked up the [[OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dock]] to see if I can install Windows on it and boot from there.

Hmmm. Right now these instructions are for making these things bootable under Windows.

Windows 11 apparently has hardware checks for unsupported hardware, so we'll do the slightly simpler Windows 10 method. Walking through the steps in the article is pretty straightforward, including installing wimlib for splitting install files to be smaller so they fit on FAT32 formatted USB drives.

The USB stick does not appear bootable. Going into System Preferences, Startup Disk only shows the internal drive.

Also switched off [[Karabiner Elements]] remapping of Command / Option keys on this funky keyboard, and plugged the keyboard directly into a USB on the Mac Mini.

Possibly need to unlock secure boot? One more restart.

OK, hit Command-R, did get to the Startup Security section, and I did have to enable the ability to boot from external media. There's another option in there about requiring fully signed operating systems, which I might also need to turn off.

So, need to try creating a proper bootable USB key.

35
       
35
       
+
       
Or maybe, I turn off secure boot completely? See Step 3 from this article https://www.onmsft.com/feature/heres-how-i-installed-windows-10-on-my-macbook-without-bootcamp

Also from that article, maybe Windows doesn't like to be on external drives? Can Winclone help? https://twocanoes.com/products/mac/winclone/ -- it's very focused on Bootcamp stuff.

The article points to [[WintoUSB|https://www.easyuefi.com/wintousb/]] for installing Windows on external drive, but it is of course a Windows app. Which I guess I could open up my ASUS Windows laptop and use?

Command-R is supposed to go into Recovery Mode. But, I may need to actually shutdown and use the power button to turn back on.

I'm going ahead and trying [[PassFab 4WinKey]].

OK, so do I really want to continue the saga of attempting to get Windows installed on my [[Mac Mini]]?

     

       
7
       
7
       
+

+
       
It's pretty much for local gaming, and that's about it. And...making some use of the mini, since I also have an M1 MacBook Air, [[Altaria]].

     

       
9
       
9
       
+
       


     

       
10
       
10
       
+
       
Ideally I can get the home office setup -- which I've spent the last couple of days ripping apart and cleaning up -- so that I can plugin and use the MacBook Air in some docked fashion.

     

       
11
       
11
       
+
       


     

       
12
       
12
       
+
       
I did a bunch of research on KVM switches. Ideally I can use just a USB switcher for keyboard and mouse.

     

       
13
       
13
       
+
       


     

       
14
       
14
       
+
       
The Mac Mini can remain connected to the monitor via the eGPU and DisplayPort. That's it's main advantage -- much more powerful graphics. But what do I even need that for?

     

       
15
       
15
       
+
       


     

       
16
       
16
       
+
       
I could get rid of the Mac Mini... and upgrade to a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air with an M2 chip?

     

       
17
       
17
       
+
       


     

       
18
       
18
       
+
       
The Mac Mini is a speedy machine, but it's also the last of its line -- the last Intel Mac Mini. I cracked it open and put 32GB of RAM in it. The eGPU runs the big monitor really great. But it doesn't really have a future.

I've been running the [[OWC Gemini]] today and it's reminding me why I never used it. It has a super loud fan! And the NVMe drive is tiny and absolutely silent.

+
       


     

       
24
       
24
       
+
       
* get a dock / stand for the Macbook Air

     

       
25
       
25
       
+
       
* I can use the USB-C dock that I have to switch back and forth keyboard and mouse for now, should see about getting a USB only KVM switch

     

       
26
       
26
       
+
       
* sell the ASUS Windows Laptop

     

       
27
       
27
       
+
       
* sell the OWC Gemini external dock

     

       
28
       
28
       
+
       
* realistically, sell the eGPU

I might try a fresh install of Monterey and use Bootcamp right away, just to try it. I can do a little yak shaving with the eGPU.

I'm also still thinking about [[DAppNode]] hardware purchase -- eg this [[1300€ Intel NUC|https://shop.dappnode.io/product/dappnode-x-gnosis-chain-limited-edition/]].

Do I need a home NAS? Like one of these [[Synology|https://www.synology.com/en-ca/products?tower=ds_j%2Cds_plus%2Cds_value%2Cds_xs]]? I don't think so, I can mess around with stuff on the DAppNode device.

Well, that's a long time of yak shaving. My office is still a mess, but sort of pulled apart a little to understand what's here.

Rachael and I actually slept in a bit (for us) and had breakfast at home, and then went out to the Vancouver Art Gallery.

I spent a lot of the week only being indoors, on way too many Zoom calls.

You need to book an appointment ahead of time, and have to wear a mask in the gallery. There were maybe 4 other people we encountered wandering around during our booking slot.

The Victor Vasarely exhibition -- pop art -- was amazing. I [posted on social.coop](https://social.coop/@bmann/105210203333395681), including a painting that matches Rachael's new sweater. We'll see if I get around to posting more research and photos about Vasarely later.

Then we went to The Bay. Much more crowded and feeling uncomfortable, although masks are required. Bought a 9x13" baking pan, and a quarter sheet with a grill/tray that will be for roasting various things.

I suggested Miku for lunch. Yes, a bit high end and pricey -- but very delicious. Reflecting on how lucky and privileged we are to do things like this occasionally.
