Self Hosting – How much shield is too much shield?
So, with the new home, I decided to wire the whole place with new network cable (there was none originally) and I was not a huge fan of having a wire going from the back of the first floor to the front of that first floor, very “feet hookable” problem in fact. So I decided […]
Self Hosting – Blog, once again, with SSL.
Finally managed to figure out what was wrong. so guys, enjoy the fresh SSL config for the site! 😛 Basically, the thing I was doing, I was trying to forward in nginx proxy manager, the call to port 443 on HTTPS, but the service internally does run on HTTP 80. so, OBVIOUSLY, nginx was trying […]
Self Hosting – Blog, Now *WITHOUT* SSL (sigh)
Welp, with the new VM hosts and all that fun stuff, I broke my SSL setup for my blog. I really need to start adding more documentation on Bookstack to track how I fix things… for the future. 😭
Much slower setup than expected
Hey Folks, as you’ve read previously, I have moved in my new house! I am still struggling to restore everything as you may have noticed. please bear with me while I’m doing the necessary to resolve the situation. The blog should be the first one to be back (hopefully). On the bright side, I have […]
The big move
hey folks! I’ve been silent lately because I have another big project ongoing… *Drumroll* I am buying a house! Which also means that I have officially made the request to have the garage as my lab ( the car can sleep outside like it’s been doing for the past decade…)! It is currently not the […]
Self Hosting – Blog, Now *WITH* SSL
So, I’ve been running my blog through one of my server and, I was having trouble to get SSL enabled through nginx proxy manager. For some reason, it was just not letting the data through when I was activating it. I figured out what was the problem. When I setup my router in opnSense, I […]
The self hosting adventure
Since I’ve been a much shorter human, I’ve always admired computer servers and enterprise level computing. I sworn to myself I’d get a server rack at some point in my life to host my own stuff. The dream we very much an active one as in the past, I’ve managed to collect a shell of […]
DIY Pinecil v2 power cable
I swear, this is by far the BEST bench upgrade I ever did. In the past, I’ve been using USB-C to power my soldering iron and my best power brick was able to output 9v at best (keep in mind, I didn’t had the best power brick). Heating up solder on ground planes was a […]
Attempt to repair a cracked PCB
With a title like that, you can figure out that it didn’t went extremely well. 🙁 Nonetheless, let’s start from the start shall we? I was presented with a wireless charger circuit that had a crack in the PCB near the USB-C connector. Normally these kind of gizmos are so cheap, they’re just going to […]
Blog issues
Now resolved! So, in the past months, some of you may have noticed that this website was famously no longer reachable, or was stumbling on some weird landing page with nowhere to go. I will admit, the downtime was never meant to be that long. 🙁 What happened behind the scene is that I decided […]
