Introduction When I initially began posting publicly on this site, my goal was to be able to host my site fully with Docker for containerization. I hadn’t experienced any other decent blogging platform besides WordPress at the time, and I was bent on getting WordPress self-hosted with Docker. This goal was achieved, and my first public post details how I used docker-compose to deploy my blog using containers for WordPress and Traefik. ...
This post will show you how to run Tails OS as a VM with the Persistence feature enabled. Running Tails as a VM is not recommended generally as it defeats many of the security features in Tails. For example, virtualization requires that you trust the hypervisor host, as the hypervisor has extra privileges over a VM that can reduce security and privacy of the VM. I recommend reading Tails’s official documentation about virtualization considerations before continuing: https://tails.boum.org/doc/advanced_topics/virtualization/ ...
If you game on PC, you probably have Discord installed to chat with your friends as you game.

This post will show you how to configure a setup to forward audio from an Xbox party directly to Discord, and visa versa. This way, you can game with your Xbox friends and still use the far superior Discord. ...
Introduction Recently, I had the opportunity to collaborate with a university research lab to build some vapor sensors to roughly measure ethanol (EtOH) vapor within an operant chamber. This project was a lot of fun. With extremely limited circuit documentation on the web and never having personally used Arduino before, there were a lot of interesting hiccups I ran into. Overall, this project was a bit out of my wheelhouse, but with much determination, the finished product turned out rather nicely. ...
Interestingly, after my previous post describing how to route Docker containers through VPN on Unraid, I received a substantial lot of questions via email about my hints at accessing Twitter anonymously. This post is my response to those questions, and I will describe my workflow to access Twitter feeds anonymously, without an account. This post will assume you have read my post on how to route Docker containers through VPN on Unraid or that you already know how to accomplish this. If you do not, start here. ...
