Recently, I decided that I needed to upgrade my home network from an old Sophos UTM 110/120 that I converted a few years ago to pfSense. First, I’ve decided to move on from pfSense. I have many reasons, but the first is that if enshittification was a company, Netgate would be the perfect definition. I’ve […]

Recently I’ve been debating about upgrading from my M1 Pro MacBook Pro to the M3 Pro. First, Apple has made some big improvements in the Apple Silicon line. The biggest being switching from 5 nanometer manufacturing to 3 nanometer. That doesn’t sound like a big deal, but consider this. That “small” jump allows the chip

What is “greedflation? Well it’s inflation but with greed. Ever since CEOs started cracking the whip and demand butts in seats in shitty cubicles, “inflation” has been up.

In my previous post, I talked a little about some of my goals for 2024. In this post, I’m going to expand more and probably add some. First thing’s first, I want to blog more. At least one blog post a week. That’s 52 total blog posts. Last year, I signed up to “Bring Back

Something I’ve wanted to do for a while now is share my /48 from Hurricane Electric’s Tunnel Broker service over my Wireguard network to other servers that don’t have IPv6 available. Well, they do, but, the data center will only route a /48. They were more than happy to setup RA on my VLAN, but

While firewalls like OPNsense and pfSense are great, I’m not fond of them. While FreeBSD, the OS that OPNsense and pfSense are built on top of, is incredibly secure and stable, each of these firewalls are anything but lightweight. They run PHP as well as a web server to serve that PHP interface. These extras

The Apple September Event was the other day and like these events always seem to do (and WWDC is no different) is kick up the hornets nest of the Apple haters. This years hot topic: USB-C! All the Apple haters I’ve seen have been spewing the same piece of misinformation over and over: “Apple was
This is a rant post. If you’re offended by swearing or think Musk is a god, then skip this one. Look. I’m going to be frank. If you’re still on Twitter, or is it X? Who the fuck even knows anymore? You’re a fucking idiot and part of the goddamn problem. Of course, if you
