Red Ketchup is INCREDIBLE
Steve “Red” Ketchup is an FBI agent who can’t die. I fucking love him, he reminds me so much of Archer. In the first episode he realizes there’s no way to disarm this nuclear bomb, so he drives away with it as far away as possible from civilization to protect people. Of course, since he…

Ad Heminem
I was talking to a buddy about Russian election interference in our country and the cancellation of our elections. My main disagreement was even if Russia interfered and tried to fool the people into voting for a specific person we should still honor the elections as it is the choice of the people. After all,…

Logitech G Hub stuck on loading
This seems to be a problem from the updater. When GHub starts up, it checks for any recent updates and gives you that menu where you have to click “Got it” That menu is what gets this stuck. The updater or one of the other components bugs out. From Task Manager go to details, click…

Downgrading PiHole V6 to V5
I love PiHole! It’s an amazing service. Not only can you block ads and other weird or malicious websites, you can also set up local DNS and make things much better for your homelab! However, when I updated to V6 I faced issues upon issues. Kept thinking my internet was dying on me, the microSD…

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…
