    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…

  • Discoveries in 3D Printing Services

    At work, we’ve been playing around with 3D printing services, namely the international chain or distributor known as Hubs. A coworker described it very accurately as “the uber of 3d printing services” where people that have access to printers apply for certification, and people who don’t place an order on Hubs which then distributes the…

  • My Vicci, Part 1

    December 7, 2019 I experienced what I never thought I would so early in life. My girlfriend of five years passed away suddenly due to respiratory and heart failure in her home in Las Vegas. She had stayed home from sick the day before because she could not catch her breath and didn’t feel like…

  • 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…

  • Expired Domains – A Headache (but a learning experience)

    Hey all! It’s been a few months, I know. But I wanted to share an experience I had with my recent domain name headache. So as you may or may not know, I’ve owned ppsstudios.com since May 2013. I purchased it via Google Apps which in turn set my registrar to eNom. Both are useful services and work…

  • 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:

  • 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&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…

  • Soundcards and Shoutcast

    Yesterday I received an Amazon order in the mail. It was my first ever ExpressCard device! A few years ago, I burned out the left channel on my laptop headphone jack, so if I wanted to listen to anything with a pair of headphones at the library or something, I couldn’t without putting up with…

  • Lack of Lyrics

    Ha! This Tuesday we had a great time at the Men’s meeting at church. However, due to a real good worship time, we had to come up with a few songs on the fly. This was a bit difficult, due to the fact that the two we were given ahead of time were put into…
