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. 😭
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 […]
NanoICSP – pt2
Part 2 : Received, installed and… need debugging? I received the package shortly! most impressed by the quality too! I might have been a tiny little bit overexcited to receive my first PCBs too but that’s another story. 🙂 I started to assemble the first one and within minutes I had one assembled (I think […]
NanoICSP – pt1
Part 1 : Finally ordered my first PCB online! I’ve been fiddling with electronics for quite some time now (decades?), and I’ve always been making things. One thing I never did was order PCBs tho, and I resolved that problem yesterday! In the past, making PCBs for me was pretty much ‘Get a perf board, […]
New Lab PSU – pt2
Part 2 : The Beast I have received the new toy and, oh my, what can I say…. It’s by far exceeding any kind of my expectations except the body of the unit has a bit of wear. Also, the unit is not a ‘true’ TekPower 3005 but is re-branded as ‘Selectron 3005’, which is […]
