My Homelab: What do I use it for?
Having a cute homelab is cool, but part (most?) of the fun is doing things with it. ...
My Homelab: Network
I fell into the Homelab rabbit hole a while back. I like when things are organized neatly. And I like security. So I did my best to setup my network the right way. ...
My Homelab: Hardware
I fell into the Homelab rabbit hole a while back. Here’s all the toys it’s composed of. A few computers, a switch, an AP, nothing too fancy, but plenty enough to have fun and host a bunch of things. ...
My Homelab: The Beginning
Once upon a time, I was doomscrolling on Reddit, like everybody does, and stumbled upon /r/homelab. And my brain exploded. Why is that? Well… ...
My Experience Importing A Car From Japan To Canada
Just sharing my experience of importing a car from Japan to Canada. TLDR: it’s fun, not that expensive, but a bit slow. ...
Running PHP-FPM in a Docker container with Apache on the host
Running multiple PHP versions on the same server can be a pain, and not the best security-wise. I was pondering on containerizing the thing and decided to try running each PHP into its own PHP-FPM container, while using Apache on the host for ease of use. It turns out it’s pretty simple, with a few gotchas. I put everything into a Github project so I can share it to the world. But most importantly, so I don’t forget how it works 6 months from now. ...
Changing GoPro settings from the smartphone app, getting Protune settings back
I’ve recently got a GoPro 7 Black with a non-functioning touchscreen. I was hoping to use my smartphone to control the GoPro, but they removed a bunch of settings from their app, apparently due to an ongoing lawsuit. It’s possible to get them back though, here’s what I found. First things first, I own an Android phone and focused my research on that OS only. Also, some of those tips might not work with your camera (beside the rollback), please do your own research before doing anything. I am not affiliated with any of the sites/apps listed below. ...
IDOBAO ID80 mechanical keyboard kit review
Yes, another keyboard. No it won’t be the last one, there’s no point on trying to fool myself. This kit is available on AliExpress and was also sold on Drop (previously Massdrop). The one I got was from Drop, 1st batch. The ID80 is relatively cheap compared to other keyboards with a full aluminium case. And it’s hotswap. And it runs on QMK. That’s why I decided to buy it. I only own plastic/acrylic keyboards and really wanted to know how an aluminium one feels and sounds. ...
XD87 TKL Keyboard kit – QMK firmware
I already went through the customization of the XD87 (HS) keyboard via TMK using a layout from KLE in this blog post (along with general information about keyboard layout customization). The XD87 now has QMK support. That firmware is based on TMK, so it has the same principles but is a bit different in multiple aspects. Let’s look at them and see how to flash QMK on the XD87 (HS). The difference between TMK and QMK as an end user aren’t really significant as they offer pretty much the same features. However, the path that leads to your flashed and ready keyboard is quite different. ...
75% keyboard custom build – The parts
I told you I really wanted to build a new keyboard when I finished the previous one. Well here I am again, but with a different build in mind this time. First, I’m going for a smaller size. Second, I’m taking parts from different places (well, 2 different sellers…). Third, the RGB underglow is gonna be useful this time. Let’s dive in. Wanting to build another keyboard is cool, but there’s no point in building one that I already own, so let’s find something new. ...
