Free Websites Lost
Somewhat disappointing news: The “Summer Home” of PPSStudios (hosted on WebSamba) closed down on me, as WebSamba decided they couldn’t keep free hosting alive. So I’m down to one free website, and they’re high enough on the Google listing that I don’t think I’ll have any problems from them any time soon. They’ve closed me off…but remember…

Back from MS and Other News About New Website
Okay, so we’re back from Mississippi (actually almost a month now). We got back on August 7, and I haven’t gotten back to this thing until now. It was REALLY FUN!! On another note, I’ve started two websites. Google Webmaster Tools says that linking between sites increases publicity and ranking, so here we go: http://ppsstudios.brinkster.net and http://www33.websamba.com/ppsstudios/. Brinkster…

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…

Shaders in MultiMC Minecraft
Gathering all of the resources of the Internet, I finally pinned down the technique to install an Optifine shader in an instance of Minecraft from the MultiMC launcher. Specifically since I started playing again in a major way from v1.14.4, installing mods is not as simple as it used to be, and Optifine is no…

CB Radio
I got all inspired when I went camping with my brother-in-law in September. His friend from Fort Collins has a fully tricked out off-road vehicle complete with a CB radio. Well, I got excited about that because, since the late 90’s we’ve had my grandfather’s old Ford van, and he was big on CB, having…

Super Duper Status Update
It works! I was a bit annoyed that the wordpress atom feed was only XML based. However, I do consider myself pretty good at googling things, and so I found this PHP library called “SimpleXML” which solved a LOT of stuff for me. I used to display the first five Blogger titles on the homepage in…

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…

Manual letsEncrypt for CPanel
Jump to Renewal Instructions Additionally, EFF has deprecated use of aptitude/yum/dnf/etc package managers for deploying Certbot on Debian-based systems. Instead, they recommend use of Snap. At work I recently collaborated with our hosting provider to move our company website to a version of cPanel. Up until this time, there has been no way of running our site on…

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:
