  • Privacy Policy

    Who are you? I’m some white cis male nerd from the United States. What personal data do you collect it and why? Comments I log your IP. Not for anything malicious. Just to reverse-DNS you if I think you’re interesting, or to drop you on iptables if I think you’re being an asshole. Also I…

  • Manual letsEncrypt for CPanel

    Jump to Renewal Instructions Additionally, EFF has deprecated use of aptitude/yum/dnf/etc package managers for deploying Certbot on Debian-based systems. Instead, they recommend use of Snap. At work I recently collaborated with our hosting provider to move our company website to a version of cPanel. Up until this time, there has been no way of running our site on…

  • DMX for actual Electrical Engineers

    So it’s been coming up recently that our church media department has been buying “OpenDMX USB Dongles” for upwards of $80. I was mortified, especially after seeing this USB device, opening up the sheet metal project box and finding it to be a simple 2-stage USB to RS-485 protocol bridge with no programmable intelligence whatsoever.

  • A Fun Adventure in PGP

    So I got curious about PGP keys and signing and encrypting using them. I managed to figure out how to use the semi-popular gpg4win (the standard windows port of GnuPG) with its built in Kleopatra GUI, Outlook add-ins and all the other fun stuff.

  • Embarcadero TThread Works Just Fine

    I’ve been annoyed for a large amount of time (years in fact) over some of our software we use and sell. In essence, what we have is a TCP GUI that communicates on a 250ms timer with a microcontroller that’s serving up a two-way communications protocol over ModBus FC23 – we send commands either to…

  • Expired Domains – A Headache (but a learning experience)

    Hey all! It’s been a few months, I know. But I wanted to share an experience I had with my recent domain name headache. So as you may or may not know, I’ve owned ppsstudios.com since May 2013. I purchased it via Google Apps which in turn set my registrar to eNom. Both are useful services and work…

  • Integer Math – Converting to Binary

    Yes, I realize this is a beginning digital logic concept, but I need somewhere to write this so I don’t forget again.

  • Finally! An internal DNS server that works (for me)!

    So it’s been much too long since I wanted to do this, but thankfully, I have finally discovered the solution for which I can serve up my own DNS server for internal LAN things, but still have an external host that administers my public website! My scenario and quandry was this:

  • Phil Keaggy – Maker of the Universe

    So I happen to like good “cosmic” worship songs. Hymns about space and stars and stuff just kinda get to me. Last night, my dad was talking to a guy about a Phil Keaggy song that was taken from an older hymn titled “Maker of the Universe.” Overhearing the lyrics just blew me away, so…

  • Businesses on Facebook

    Recently I got an email from a guy at Brinkster, a web hosting service I have used in the past.
