    Live TV Tuners, Twitch, Plex, and screwing over even more Subscription Services

    I have a lifetime subscription to Plex. I’ve had it for at least eight years. It’s cool! It lets me watch IPTV (built-in) and even has the option to connect to digital tuner+antenna combos on my network. I mean, I saw this “HDHomeRun” device I could buy on Amazon a couple of years ago and…

  • Privacy Policy

    Who are you? I’m some white cis male nerd from the United States. What personal data do you collect it and why? Comments I log your IP. Not for anything malicious. Just to reverse-DNS you if I think you’re interesting, or to drop you on iptables if I think you’re being an asshole. Also I…

  • DMX for actual Electrical Engineers

    So it’s been coming up recently that our church media department has been buying “OpenDMX USB Dongles” for upwards of $80. I was mortified, especially after seeing this USB device, opening up the sheet metal project box and finding it to be a simple 2-stage USB to RS-485 protocol bridge with no programmable intelligence whatsoever.

  • PHP Access Control List

    A quick little Access Control List (ACL) snippet I made for PHP/HTML. Enjoy! <?php $acl = array( // Populate with IP/Subnet Mask pairs. // Any zero bit in the subnet mask acts as a wildcard in the IP address check. array(“192.168.10.24″,”255.255.255.255”), ); $acl_allow = false; for ($i = 0; $i < count($acl); $i++) { $ip2chk…

  • Finally! An internal DNS server that works (for me)!

    So it’s been much too long since I wanted to do this, but thankfully, I have finally discovered the solution for which I can serve up my own DNS server for internal LAN things, but still have an external host that administers my public website! My scenario and quandry was this:

  • OpenVPN

    New project at work! Setting up OpenVPN. It’s great fun…except when it doesn’t work. I love the Windows interface for setting up the Server. It’s straight-forward, and following the tutorial at http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html works like a charm. Setting up the client is just as easy, and the connection can be made in a matter of minutes.

  • Preventing Constant Reboots on a Network

    For some weird reason, I found that my router (Netgear WNR3500L) (or my connection) was giving me problems…every so often it my LAN connection would completely reset and require me to reboot the computer, just to get the webserver back online (it would become completely unreachable via No-IP DNS -and- the external IP address..some 5xx…

  • My Router-Modem Setup

    Here’s what I’ve figured out with my router/modem setup. The router has two sets of plugs in it. One set is the regular ethernet ports to hook in single computers to. However, there is a single yellow port known as the WAN or Internet port. What really is the difference here? I’ve figured it out.…

  • DSL and Networking

    I’ve always hated self-help books you find at B&amp;N or the library on how to set up your own home network. In short, they always would assume that you had high-speed internet coming into your house and that you could create a standard configuration. However, up until about 30 minutes ago, we were using dialup…
