How to build the CHEAPEST possible homeserver, while still remaining performant
Alright. I’ve been asked what my infrastructure runs on because it’s really fast, performant and oddly cheap This guide implies that you’ll be already exposed to old machines. If not, then may god help you. Getting the case Start by browsing Ebay, Facebook Marketplace (or similar) or your local computer recycling center. Look for something

I hate banking.
In my last post, I wrote: Well, I recently received an old MacBook Air from 2010 with Snow Leopard on it. Yes, the version before Lion, when it still had a dedicated “Hide all the bars and shit” button on the top right. I was tasked with provisioning the latest possible software on it and

We have to have a serious talk about hardware-software.
We have it good now. M-series Apple chips, amazing AM5-based Ryzen CPUs, NVIDIA GPUs that can power a program that you can talk with that can pass the turing test. We have it good. But back when we had hardware limitations that were seriously fucked, we didn’t have the resources to build huge machines, nor

Audient EVO 4 Review – Holy Moly.
DISCLAIMER: I spent my own money on this. No sponsorships, given my notoriety (or lack thereof), though I wish Audient gave me money for this review. Would be nice. What can I say? Technical stuff 2 physical ins, physical outs. It also has a loopback pair so it’s 4 inputs and 4 outputs in total,

The state of X, Bluesky and microblogging in general
If, by the end of January, Elon doesn’t fix this bullshit with Grok generating unconsentual porn of users, as well as allowing people to edit photos to threaten murdering jews, lynching black people with full on slurs that I’d hate to say. I will be forced to cancel X Premium and leave that platform, even

This year, I’m thankful for…
Vibe coding! AI is not necessarily bad. People just make it out to be way worse than it needs to be. And they’re kind of right on the front that reliance on AI can lead to misunderstanding of the concepts that it provides, as well as generally ignoring its output. However, with me, that’s not

Maybe getting the latest and greatest isn’t a good idea
I’m one big broke person. Subscribe to my Patreon if you want to change that, as me getting a good job is impossible and also laughable considering current circumstances I’m facing as a first year student. I’ve never had the latest and greatest hardware. At all I started out with a hackintoshed PC, then an

Moving on – Revolution MX to MX Master 3
Mice have always been a really special topic for me. Ever since I was a kid I wanted a Logitech mouse. Specifically, the G502. Logitech always had quality in my books – and I always trusted them with every peripheral imaginable. They’ve proven themselves that, even with gimmicks, they never fail delivering timeless masterpieces. I

The new Affinity is… Bad.
When I first heard of Affinity I thought to myself, “Wow! What a nice competitor to Adobe” The bundle was paid with a perpetual license. Pay once and boom. And I DID pay for the iPad bundle. I don’t want to admit it but here we are. The thing about this is that Serif (the

Proceed with care, I have BPD.
I’m not usually one to self-diagnose bullshit. There’s been a lot of unanswered questions about me that I wanted answered. I can’t consult mental health professionals because frankly Serbia is PRIMITIVE. To explain Borderline Personality Disorder, you’d be better off reading the Wikipedia page for it, but in short it all boils down to: And
