I’ve talked before on my YouTube channel all about how I enjoy changing the color scheme and wallpaper of my Linux set up, and how that keeps me feeling like my workspace is new and fresh. It somehow makes me more productive, as I don’t...
A little while back, I discussed how hard it was to find a self-hosted, privacy respecting, comment system for your blog. In that post, I talked about how I had finally settled on Comentario. It was easy to set up, had many nice...
Another month gone. We’re damn near halfway through this year already. Time just moves too fast. This was a mixed month for me if we’re being honest. A lot of tech problems. A few expensive things I didn’t anticipate. Many things that...
I’m a YouTuber. It’s not something I expected to be. It’s not as if when I was growing up, I told people I wanted to grow up to be a video star. YouTube didn’t exist until I was 21 years old. The funny thing is, even saying I’m a...
I have too many computers, yet seemingly not enough. My mom’s laptop is dying. It’s not a surprise given she uses it about 20 hours a day, and it’s a few years old, but still, it sucks. Last year, when it was down for service, I bought...
Tech nerds have too many cables. If you’re like me, you have boxes and totes and drawers full of every type of cable and cord imaginable. And my stuff is toned down from where it used to be because I threw out a lot of stuff during my...
So, remember that whole thing about me giving up TikTok? I did that. And I feel good about it. But, like junkies everywhere, I just replaced one drug with another. And it isn’t really that much of a surprise as to what took TikTok’s...
I didn’t miss a single day. That’s impressive. At least I think so. I actually learned a lot during this process, so I thought that for the last blog of this series, I’d talk about some of those things. Not All Blogs Need to Be Long I...
I gush about this far too much. But RSS has changed the way I use the internet. It used to be, I’d find a blog or a website I liked and then forget about it about 30 seconds after leaving. Maybe I remember again a week or two later, but...
As my New Year’s Resolution last year, I promised myself that in 2024 that I’d learn Python. As resolutions go, I did pretty good. I took several classes and coded some of my own little python scripts. Was I proficient enough to get paid...
So, I read a lot. But I’m also pretty set on the things I read. I read history, fantasy, a bit of science fiction, and lately, some HaremLit for some odd reason. So, I’ve been looking for ways of broadening my horizons a bit. I also want...
Surprisingly, Ghost has started working better in the last few weeks. I had talked about how it was freezing, and I was thinking about finding a different platform, but now that it’s working, I think I’ll stick around for a bit. With...
I know many people swear by their calendar. Keeping what you’re doing listed out in a timely fashion makes sense for plenty of people. For me, I want to be that type of person. Some would say, I aspire to be a calendar professional. I’ve...
I’ve made plenty of jokes about people who overcompensate with RGB. But there is something to this trend of lighting up your room and accessories. I’ve added some to my room, and while I’ve not gone overboard, it has added to the...
30 days of blogging in a row is hard. I almost failed today. Instead, here I am with a short, unedited post. Today, I browsed around on lunch break for some new RSS blog feeds to follow. I found some. I will probably put them in the...
