Not in the sense of “I wrote a blog and now I’m an author” but “I wrote a book and now I am an author.” Yep, that’s right. I’m now a published author! Earlier in the year, I got the idea to create a book that would help people with cPanel. After all, running a […]
In my previous post, I talked a little about some of my goals for 2024. In this post, I’m going to expand more and probably add some. First thing’s first, I want to blog more. At least one blog post a week. That’s 52 total blog posts. Last year, I signed up to “Bring Back
Earlier I posted a very hot take on ethics and infosec. I enjoy debates on ethics because it really applies critical thinking skills. Here’s my hot take on it: Ethics are 100% off the table when conducting a pentest. I was met with a rebuttal about if an employee sues because of it. Here’s my

Staying organized can be a bit of a hassle for me. Some people find it easy, I do not. As I have started doing more software development, I’ve launched my own bug tracker running MantisBT. Mantis is probably one of the OG bug trackers since it dates back to 2000 and I’ve known of it

Look. I get it. Forums aren’t cool any more. But Discord fucking sucks for many purposes. Mainly the reasons people keep trying to shoehorn Discord into. I’m going to do my best to convince you to stop using Discord for these reasons. Discord chat is not indexed by search engines. Imagine this: you’re using a

Since January, or even a little before, I went from Firefox to Chrome and then to Brave/Chrome hybrid mix. Now I am back to Firefox. I switched because I was sick of the new UI that is so out of touch with what people want. Honestly, if you don’t think people are leaving because of

The one thing I’ve never liked about websites and why I always gravitate towards using a CMS is I hate FTPing files. I build the content, then I have to launch FileZilla, wait for everything to upload, and then call it a day. The downside is that I also lose some benefits of using version

When you install Proxmox, it will create default local storage called local-lvm. This is a thin pool so it allows you to over-provision your storage space on your VMs. You need to be careful when over-provisioning as bad things can happen when you run out of space. When I have a server with more than

After some server maintenance, I’ve noticed that one of my servers just isn’t right. I don’t know exactly what happened, but the network doesn’t want to work. Since I treat all my servers as cattle and not pets (and even then there’s some debate within the DevOps community about this ?), I’d rather just rebuild
