I’ve been leveraging Nginx Proxy Manager for a while now in the lab here and had most of my services exposed to the internet. This, however, raises some security concerns for me as many applications leverage authentication, but aren’t necessarily hardened for public internet exposure. I had been hunting around for a solution that provides domain name services, but LAN …

One of the biggest complaints I have for Peloton is that lack of integration with Garmin, as I like to see all my fitness data in one place. Having everything syncing makes things like tracking calories and macros easier in apps like MyFitnessPall. For years now, I have been leveraging an application called Peloton to Garmin to sync the data …

First off, let me get this out there right off the bat; I am a homelabber that leverages Proxmox for some LXCs and some VMs. This is all fun and games for me, so there is nothing mission-critical here… other than the inability for my children to watch Grizzy & the Lemmings. I have a few small form factor devices …

I am not going to give you an in-depth complaint article on the challenges with Legion Space on the Legion Go, but I will offer you this: it would be much better if they presented you with your library before they presented you with the game store. I understand there is a huge “Library” button right in the middle of …

It wasn’t that long ago that the thought of running a portable device as my primary PC seemed to be impossible, I have been a long standing desktop holdout. Having the ultimate in customization and power seems to always trump the idea of running my day to day life off of a laptop or something else seems to win out. …

After leaving my Retroflag GPi Case on the shelf for years, packed with all the geeky emulation I could ever want. Then, Valve updated their Steam Deck, Asus unveiled their ROG Ally, and Lenovo introduced the Legion Go. This year, I finally decided to indulge myself in handheld gaming once again.

It seems that the weird and strange issues always find their way into my system builds. Recently, a Windows Server build was recognizing my SSD drive as a standard hard disk drive. For some, this may not be an issue as the read/write performance is still there. However, for those that dig a little deeper, Windows will try to use the standard "Optimize" for the drive on a regular basis, something you should not do to an SSD.

When I finally made the switch to Ethereum, I started off by using one of the most popular mining programs out there, Claymore’s Ethereum Miner. The miner works well, but keeping an eye on things got to be a pain: the pools I use only report every 10 minutes or so and having 3-4 remote desktop instances was a bit …

rying to figure out how you want to build a mining machine, there aren't many options to choose from concerning its skeleton. One option is to build or buy an open rig frame, another is to mockup some metal shelving and hang some gear from it with zip ties, and the last option is to purchase a professionally made, well-manufactured mining case. While Rosewill may not be that well known in the cryptocurrency space, they have made a name for themselves in the server market by manufacturing and designing quality components at a price point that most people can afford. With that kind of pedigree, Rosewill introduced the RSV-L4000B and, subsequently, the RSV-L4000BC; a 4U 6/8 GPU Rack-mountable Mining chassis.

It has long been speculated that the recent increase in network hashrate was due to botnets and the increase in GPU sales, with the focus on botnet activity. It was recently discovered that there may be some bad actors at work taking advantage of a vulnerability in the popular workstation management application, Kaseya.
