My homelab was down(externally)
My site and any external connection to my homelab were down for a couple of days. Sorry for those that used my comicvine cache, or other non public stuff. I couldn’t even wireguard home, but I’m an IT guy so you know I don’t leave my home much. How would I work on my homelab…

Tube Archivist with a proxy
I’ve previously written here how to setup Gluetun to proxy your entire container traffic through a VPN. This unfortunately makes it so incoming traffic also has to go through the proxy. You can just open the needed port on the Gluetun container, but some people might not want to do that for whatever reason. I…

Set up MySQL/MariaDB and PhpMyAdmin for your Homelab
When you start your journey with a homelab you get some sort of computer to use as a server and start throwing cool Docker containers on it. You soon find that many of your applications need databases, and you’ll mostly encounter SQL, MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis and MongoDB. If you have 20 different applications that require…

Please stop with the repeating tropes
I love shows about a cop and their quirky partner with (almost) supernatural skills. It’s the OP anime protagonist trope I guess. House, Mentalist, Lucifer, Dexter, iZombie, Blacklist, arguably Mr Robot, so on and so forth. Tropes are fun. They can be a safe haven or used for comedic effects, or they might just fit…

BeefText to Espanso
BeefText is an incredible little tool, but it only works on Windows. When switching to Linux, or at least to Linux-compatible tools, you’ll likely find Espanso to be the best you can get, but there’s no easy way to move from one to the other. Better said, there wasn’t! Utilizing space age technology, and with…

Container can’t see my files!
Containers are sort of virtual machines, a computer running on a computer. They don’t have access to your actual files, just to what’s available inside their filesystem. In Windows, you mount a USB drive, a disk, or a network location with a drive letter e.g D,E,F. In Linux the system doesn’t begin with a letter,…

Invincible – You Can Only Read Once
But you should read it. It’s an incredible comic, a masterwork, an example of how comics should be made. At least up until about chapter 110. I wrote this as I read through the chapters. I also used the powers of time travel and hindsight to edit this post, so it’s a bit of a…

Comic Scripts
If you’ve read my blog at all, you know I like comics. Mylar is incredible for managing and automatically metatagging comics. It uses ComicTagger which is great for metagging outside Mylar too, but we still need to use the darn ComicVine API with their absolutely insane rate limits. I’ve made a bunch of scripts to…
