Another New Theme

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 09:59:52 +0000

So you might have noticed another major theme change.

I decided to create my own Windows XP styled theme modeled after Web 1.0 motifs.

I might keep it or I might move to something like this theme.

Currently it does not have comments support so sadly no Remark42 for now, but it has some nice features.

It has a Hatsune Miku cursor (implemented using CSS keyframes), Cosmic Sans font (provided by WOFF file for browsers that do not have it), and a snow animation with toggle and counter.

Selfhosting eMail is fun!!!

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 12:15:09 +0000

So as you may have noticed if you looked at the about page (or been snooping through the DNS records for this site), that I now have email under this domain.

I spent all of yesterday after work setting up an email server and some time today setting up Roundcube webmail.

Why Roundcube? because it was a simple compose file to deploy and didn’t need external database management. It also have a nice simple user interface and allows for my upstream proxy server to handle all the HTTPS.

Some Site Changes

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 16:00:58 +0000

So you might have noticed some changes to the site, but rest assured that it is nothing major.

I primarily just changed the theme from potato-dark to Stack because I wanted something more modern looking.

Additionally, the site structure was a bit dated and I was having trouble getting the theme working. So I recreated the site and moved all the content over to start fresh.

This new theme has dark mode and light mode support, and resizes dynamically to support mobile devices and the desktop.

These are the standard 80x30 buttons of the websites of my fellow frens that I met on the indie web.

Feel free to check them out and to link my button, just ping me and I’ll add yours back.

PSA to Pixel Watch 4 Users

Sun, 05 Apr 2026 19:06:04 +0000

So, this is just a quick post about the Pixel Watch 4. I got it a few months ago and have used it essentially nonstop, the 41mm LTE variant.

I like the watch, but the big thing I noticed is there there is NO out of the box USB support. So adb has to be wireless, and fastboot is not possible.

The USB cable for the PW4 is available to purchase invite-only for repair shops.

New SSD

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 18:19:29 +0000

So, I got a “new” (new to me) SSD from the trash pile at work.

It was in an old crusty Intel-era iMac that’s been sitting out there for who knows how long (months to years), being exposed to the elements.

I took it out and cleaned it up as the SSD itself was dirty, surprisingly there was minimal water/dirt ingress to the interior.

A quick teardown and cleaning later, and it was time to test.

Systems

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 21:15:35 +0000

These are the various computer systems that I have and use on a daily basis.

DaServ

This is the power sipping beast of a server.

It runs Proxmox and is managed by Ansible for state as code.

This is where all of my services are hosted and where my ZFS pool lives.

The services are all ran with podman-compose inside of an unprivilged LXC container.

The UEFI I am using this on has had the microcode update for the voltage regulation issue applied as soon as I bought it new, so no issues there.

Welcome Back!

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 20:16:23 +0000

Welcome Back!!!

It sure has been a while, hasn’t it? Just the date from the previous two posts alone would make this 8 or so YEARS since I’ve last posted (or even has this website up).

Well, a TON of changed regarding myself and my selfhosting. I have an actual server now, made from consoomer hardware but using enterprise grade storage and ZFS, which is where this site is being hosted from.

We've moved to hugo!

Wed, 20 Jun 2018 23:48:31 -0500

We’ve moved to a new blogging backend as you can see, We’re using hugo with the potato-dark theme instead of wordpress.
We made this move for various reasons, the main reason being wordpress was slow and we didn’t need all that for a simple blog.
