I’m Saahbs aka Mike Sabala. This here is my very own corner of the internet, free of external control, expressing my personal opinions and published without any warranty.

My Motto:

“Endorse your beliefs, not people or organizations which align (at the moment) with them, while remembering that ends do not justify the means”.

Quotes:

  • “Less is more” – Mies van der Rohe
  • “Keep it simple stupid” – Kelly Johnson
  • “Measure trice, cut once” – proverb
  • “shoveling bits in data mines in the dim light of burning midnight oil” – saahbs’ work

Miata Wheels, 2025-Dec-01 Mon, "servicing wheels, rotors and brake pads"

During a few rainy days, I took the time to complete belated maintenance on my Miata.

I told myself that when my rear pads finally start squealing - they did - I’ll replace all the rotors, all the pads, flush the brake system and refinish my badly scratched1 rims.

I recently posted about upgrading Windows 10 to 111 to continue receiving security updates. Even after such upgrade, there are numerous problems with Windows. It is not open source, it is full of spyware, it is burdened by unnecessary background processes, it is technically inferior to its competitors and it is controlled by Microsoft - a company convicted of anti-competitive anti-consumer practices.

I’ve been running Linux on the desktop and server for past 30 years and my remaining use case for Windows was to run games. This is no longer necessary - let me show you how!
