Halloween is the one night of the year that I get to hand candy out to children, who I do not know and it is socially acceptable. So tonight is the night I get to do it! I have also gotten into the hobby of Homelabbing, so it is Halloween
So I have a thing against the Google: I use searXNG, for search. I use 2 piholes, for my LAN (and VPN) ad/tracker blocker. Because creators I follow stick to YouTube and do not have peertube alternatives I use LibreWolfe with adguard and sponsorblock. A lot of cooking webpages
I read the comment on a Lemmy post, and with a bias I went looking for evidence. I will admit that bias influenced me to try and switch away from immich and to ente, and I was having nothing but problems. I was so wanting ente to work but nothing
So I am in a self hosting Lemmy community (https://lemmy.world/c/selfhosted), and today I found out and I found out that immich is funded/run by some not so good people. So I had to look up some new service to host my photos, self host just
There is supposedly some big bug in php, I hadn’t knowingly put anything on Home Network, so I was not to terribly concerned. I have a fairly locked down LAN, so again I was not to terribly concerned. I learnt more about the issue and what maybe possible and
This is take 3 of this post because I wanted to have my posts to say more than the title and the link on Mastodon. I do not think JavaScript is a very civilized coding language but I am vibe coding baby and Vibe tells me it is the best
I had space and CPU power on my VPS. I have been doing a lot of searching into the web about security, I thought I will get a strong openWRT firewall set up setup a few vLANs, a few APs, and maybe a VPN (or two) and I would be
So I have been trying to get the governments of Canada, Saskatchewan, and Saskatoon to notice me yelling out about how idiotic they are being relying on Microsoft for things like email and web storage. I decided to go a slightly different route with Statistics Canada as I work through
So I had a bit of a nap yesterday afternoon that I did not mean to have, I woke up to some video playing. I was meaning to lay down and watch something while stretching out my back, but that is neither here nor there just something fun to say.
Letter 2 gets a little close to home. Saskatchewan MLAs Are Using Personal Gmail and Outlook Accounts for Official Correspondence Thats a Sovereignty RiskTo the Members of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, I’m writing as a Saskatoon Westview constituent, and copying provincial media, because this is a pattern every
I have decided to push a little harder against the Government of Canada not using open-source Canadian developed software, I would like to say hardware to but there is the RAM shortage to be worried about and we have all the hardware we currently need. Even the EU is
I vibe coded a plugin that should upload this image to pixelfed.ca, thought I would try it out!
So I wanna try pixelfed, not like I was into instagram before the boycott started but thought hey why not try a free, and more importantly on the fediverse, alternative now? I know instagram is “free” but you are giving your data to advertisers who will then advertise to you
So remember kiddos when I said making backups is a good idea? When I moved Ghost to another computer because I wanted the other one to be ready to be deployed as an off site backup I thought everything was backed up, I guess some or maybe all of my
HTML was so easy when I learnt it back in the mid 90’s on Mac OS 7, there was no real CSS (if there was it was out of my wheel house and the places I would “borrow code” from) it was simple, sure others could do things that
So I noticed buttons on the CBC web page, that went to twitter and reddit. I was not happy about this so I thought I should make a stink or get over the facts of the world right now. I am no push over so I thought making the stink
So I went on to the co-op‘s website to see if they had Canadian made tooth paste they did not; I felt that was enough to write a letter about, knowing I would include something about storebrands.com. Turns out storebrands.com is not the same as storebrands.
After I misguidedly tried to update my firewall I lost my install of Crowdsec, that was put on my list of things to get eventually fixed. Well that failed update was not the worst thing that happened to me as it got me to look at what some of the
After my Boo Boo yesterday, or whenever it happened and I lost a few days worth of posts I decided that I needed some off site back up. My plan was going to be to wake up and get some clean up done and than spend the evening working on
I grew up using Apple products, I continued up until today. Today is the day that I took my old Mac Mini that could not receive updates so it was just sitting there collecting dust and I installed Debian on it! I had booted it up a few days ago
I use the app Ghost for hosting my blog and something happened with an update I guess I got booted out of the admin today and found out the last 5 days of my posts were deleted 😔. At least it was not everything I guess, I would just be so
So I have been waiting on my place to be repaired, I was told I should expect people here every day this week. So far as of Monday it is true, but the person was here for less than 5 minutes to drop off base boards. After the baseboards where
Today has just been a blaa day, I hurt and feel the blaa real bad. Thursday cannot come fast enough for my physio appointment. Friday cannot come fast enough to hopefully get all my stuff back and I will be able to get out of my room. for more than
If you told 10 year old me that I would have domains that where not geocities.com/something.somethingelse/whatever I named it I would have thought you were crazy. If you reminded 20 year old me about Geocities I would have had a laugh, but would still not believed
