These are things that I did not create, but are still pretty cool.
Story In Sleeping Dogs, Wei Shen, an undercover cop, must infiltrate the gang world of Hong Kong. Throughout the Sleeping Dogs game, both cop and gang life must be balanced with one another. With his gang, Wei risks murder if he’s found hanging around the cops. On the other hand, Wei’s operation will be useless…
A while ago, I did an article called The Complete List of UNIX Operating Systems. I never expected it to get high ratings, but right now, it seems to be doing very well. Because of that, I’ve decided to do a similar article in the same format, but instead being a list of Linux distros,…
Unbound is a DNS server that’s normally used in more complex environments than PiHole. If you use Linux, you may see it’s even required by many packages. Many companies use it for their own DNS servers, and it makes up much of the internet’s actual DNS infrastructure. Unbound supports complex things like DNS over TLS,…
ZFS is possibly one of the best filesystems out there. Yet still, Linux is only recently getting good support for it. The real ZFS is available on UNIX, like Solaris, and for this article, FreeBSD. Because Solaris has gone under recently, FreeBSD is undoubtedly the best OS for ZFS. However, if you’re new to FreeBSD…
The world of open source licensing is tough, and it can make the difference between who can use your project as well as whether your code can be stolen. Some licenses embody the principles of Open Source, where people can use your code for whatever they see fit, even if their own code is not…
Something that has been floating around the Minecraft community for a while, with little documentation is Quadspinner Gaea. While Gaea gets a lot of documentation for game development, there’s not a lot out there to help with Minecraft, which is something that I believe could be fixed. Gaea is a very complex engine, but I…
The technology known as the “PiHole” has become quite ubiquitous over recent years. The PiHole allows you to create a DNS server that stops tracking entirely, across your entire network. However, what happens when you need to leave home. What happens when you go to work or go to a local coffee shop? Now, you’re…
The year is 2022. The world’s most popular browser is Google Chrome. The world’s most popular Search Engine is Google. However, what if I told you, yes you, the viewer, that other options exist and they’re not hard to figure out either. In fact, living an untrackable life is extremely easy. Depending on your current…
Linux is something that takes time to become accustomed to. Many advanced Linux users have strong opinions about certain things. There are certain things that we just should not be telling beginning Linux users. Most beginning Linux users don’t care about certain things, and they’re barely sold on ditching Windows. In this article, I will…
So, you installed FreeBSD hoping to get a clean system with every package made specifically for it. You soon find out that the package manager doesn’t update regularly and you wind up getting security vulnerabilities unfixed for longer. You want to use ports and you probably tried portmaster but it is extremely slow and requires…
