My thoughts on the “State of the Union”

  • by

What’s amazing about the trump administration to me is the tariffs. There’s been a LOT of political discussion on Facebook, many of it from friends, even some whom don’t normally post on Facebook. What stands out to me about the Trump administration is the tariffs. While I have mixed feelings on them, as they are both beneficial for this country and bad, I think they are a major turning point in this country and a symptom of a bad leader. This country was founded on rebellion against taxes from Great Britain as the 13 colonies, as we were dependent upon their imports. However, as you… Read More »My thoughts on the “State of the Union”

OPNsense: Setting up a Wireguard router with DHCPv6 for your IPv6 subnet

  • by

The title of this post is a bit vague, so let me explain more carefully what this post is about. With this guide, you will be able to setup OPNsense and a Wireguard client that will give you both IPv4 internet (via standard NAT) and IPv6 internet via public routed IPs. The magic is to use a bridge between your LAN interface and your Wireguard interface and then setup a DHCPv6 server to assign DHCP addresses with router advertisement. This guide assumes your Wireguard server is already setup and working. There is another guide in my blog which covers setting up the server, the process… Read More »OPNsense: Setting up a Wireguard router with DHCPv6 for your IPv6 subnet

Wireguard with Pi-hole, unbound and IPv6/DNSSEC/UFW

First, follow the instructions to setup Wireguard if you haven’t already done so using my guide.

The problem with rtorrent

  • by

RTorrent is abandoned. Period. Don’t believe the Reddit posts about it otherwise, someone has an agenda with it. The seedbox companies make money off of rtorrent because they have to constantly maintain and debug rtorrent in order for it to work properly. Use QBittorrent or deluge instead, they are far easier to setup and have lots of features built in, work the same as rtorrent+rutorrent, with minimal setup fuss, and just work OOTB. You’ll regret using rtorrent, and so have I. Don’t waste your time, use something better.

Simple, follow the instructions at this link: https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART176838. Simply attach your lens, put the camera in a manual mode (Such as M, P, Tv, or Av), go into the custom functions and enable “Shutter release without lens attached.” The instructions at Canon’s support website will guide you. Hope that helps!

Having lived in Orlando, FL almost 20 years, I know the area well, especially the area around the University of Central Florida: I attended university from 2003-2011, worked in research park, and lived in some of the new developments along the Econlockhatchee reservation area.
