DJ Ware

Technology did not begin yesterday.

CyberGizmo explores Linux, security, AI, and modern computing through the lens of history, experience, and real-world architecture. Many of today's "new" ideas are not new at all—they are old lessons rediscovered, forgotten, or repeated.

Through analysis, storytelling, humor, and practical experience, I examine what works, what doesn't, and what we can learn from the past before making the same mistakes again.

Welcome to CyberGizmo.

LIVE: 45-Day GhostBSD Challenge - Full Honest Wrap-Up

I spent 45 days using GhostBSD as my full-time daily driver. No cheating.

In this live session, I'll break down:
- Why I took on this challenge
- The hardware struggles
- What went really well (PF, Jails, bhyve, running Linux VMs)
- What was challenging (SPICE, etc.)
- My final Yes and No verdict

I grew up on UNIX, and this challenge reminded me why the classic philosophy still matters.

I'll also answer your questions live!

Drop your questions in the chat! Linux vs BSD fans welcome.

Announcing the close out of the BSD 45-day challenge, what I learned, what I managed to get working, what did not work so well, and what my future plans are for GhostBSD going down the road, join me this Friday June 5. 2026 at 3 PM CST LIVE.  Hope to see you there
In this deep dive we explore the real differences between Thin and Thick Jails on FreeBSD 15.0 using Bastille an easier and more widely used method of creating jails on FreeBSD.

- Thin Jails (recommended for most people)
- Impromptu Network troubleshooting
- Thick Jails (when you need full isolation)
- Size comparison (68MB vs 438MB)
- Honest pros & cons including update risks
- Full step-by-step setup

Kamrui Hyper H1 AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS Mini PC Review — running the brand new AntiX 26 Linux distribution!

In this review I test the Kamrui Hyper H1 with the Ryzen 7 7735HS and Radeon 680M. I was initially skeptical about AntiX because of the IceWM desktop, but this lightweight Debian 13-based distro surprised me with its speed and stability — especially with the Liquorix 7.0.9 kernel.

Prices are subject to change.

✅ Price: $329.99 (16 GB Memory / 512 GB NVMe SSD)
✅ 8 cores / 16 threads
✅ Excellent ports including 2.5G Ethernet
✅ Easy SSD upgrade
✅ Ships with Windows 11 Pro

What do you think — would you run Windows or Linux on this mini PC?
Google just declared: Android is no longer an operating system — it’s now an “Intelligence System.” Apple is heading the same direction at WWDC. What does this actually mean for you?

In this video I break down the real difference between a traditional OS (the software that lets YOU use your computer) and the new Intelligence Systems that are being built around us.

Topics covered:
• The iPad that scolded me for not enabling Apple Intelligence
• Why this shift feels different — and faster — than anything before
• What’s really happening to local control, ownership, and choice
• The root override gate on Android and whether it’s closing
• Real-world pushback (even Fedora Linux said “not so fast”)

This isn’t about fear of technology. It’s about staying awake while the relationship between us and our devices fundamentally changes.

Drop your thoughts in the comments:
- Are you still using root override / GrapheneOS?
- Have you felt the “intelligence” features pushing you?

Operating Systems are a thing of the past according to Google, Meta and Microsoft, will Apple join them?  Is the battle for smart phones over?  Is this the new battlespace?Join me tomorrow to explore this topic
