Recently I swapped out my CX-5’s head unit for android auto, and ever since then I’m trying to find a clean way of reusing the USB port inside armrest. That has turned into a loooong journey… Depending on the trim/options, the connection options get *quite* complex IMO. I can only speak for my setup, and […]

Figured it’s time to get my parts organization in order…and I found part-db(https://github.com/Part-DB/Part-DB-server), a self-hosted PHP-based webapp to do what I want. This is the first time I step into actually installing a web app, so I’m sure a lot of info listed here is basic knowledge for some, but anyways… I’m choosing to install

I don’t even remember when I bought it(must be 10 years now), but I have this old Asus RT-N16 router lying around, and now that I’m rebuilding my home networking, I figured why not utilize it with some DD-WRT magic and use it as the IoT/guests only AP? Sure, it’s only 802.11n with 300MBps max,

I’ve been playing Fallout for a while(2, 3, nv, 4, 76…), and I had my doubts about fallout 76 when it first came out (didn’t stop me from buying the collector edition and caught in that canvas(plastic) bag fiasco), but overall I liked it. After a year-long-ish hiatus, I tried to get back into it,

Recently I started changing my storage/playground machine from single Rockstor to a more virtualized homelab running proxmox, and with that comes a big learning opportunity for virtualization, LXC, and everything in between and beyond. One particular problem I’m trying to solve is that, I want to run separate containers for Samba, Plex, any intake application(Transmission

It’s a normal Friday night…until it’s not. Wandering through youtube, I saw a video from Thomas Sanlanderer (Still trying to get my head around the spelling) with a seemingly dark title, “The video nobody should ever have to make”. I clicked in, didn’t know what to expect. Turns out, it’s news about one of the
It’s been a while since I used my Soundlink Revolve, it’s a good sounding little speaker, but I noticed that it won’t charge anymore – what good is a bluetooth speaker that I can’t run wirelessly? so I started looking for fix: Charge with cable, with base, different charger, no go. Googled for fix, and

After experimenting with multiple ways of setting up my home media server/NAS/data-scraper-to-be/another box wasting electricicty, I finally stumbled upon “The Perfect Media Server” from linuxserver.io. I don’t know how I missed it last many times since it’s been around since 2016, but finally MergerFS + SnapRAID has shined their lights upon me. Also, I finally

Played GP Richmod 2018 with the unsealing deck, was not expecting much, ended up matching that expectation – it’s a fun deck for side events but not much more. Played Friday trials (2 std + 1 sealed), failed all 3 in the first match. #feelsbadman. I got to play a MIRROR in one std trial!
