This server now runs on CentOS 7! Additionally, on Friday evening my network port at the data center is being upgraded to 1 Gbps! Back to the work day…

AWA XXV
It’s been over a week since I got back from attending Anime Weekend Atlanta for the 16th year in a row, and if I had to be honest with myself, this really was the best one ever. It had nothing to do with the convention’s content but rather had to do with getting to hang … Continue reading
Current State
Hi! It’s been ages since I wrote here… I’ll try to be better. I now am self-hosting my personal websites as I put a server in a local datacenter recently. It’s something fun, and hardening WordPress is now something more easily doable since I have root on the server. That’s all for now!
Anime Weekend Atlanta, Sans Car

It was mostly a firewall and single whitebox server with … Continue reading

Hi there! This is a landmark first post in almost four years here on w4jdh.net! Today we’re diving into the realm of amateur (ham) radio and Linux, specifically how to set Arch Linux up as both an APRS I-Gate and a dual-band D-STAR hotspot using the G4KLX software compiled from source. Assuming you don’t have … Continue reading

Scaling Back
Every year I’ve looked at Anime Weekend Atlanta as more than a chance to hang out with friends from out of town because of the rather unique situation having several laptop wielders in the same hotel room can present. Therefore, I come up with all sorts of hair-brained network schemes to get everyone online from … Continue reading
