The Patreon Rant
This isn’t actually a rant, or really guided any particular direction at all. I just happened to come across a post on Bluesky that reminded me I have some opinions on Patreon as a service and figured if I’m going to have this space to share my thoughts, I may as well put add my…

How to Homelab
For the uninitiated, this post is about building up a collection of technology to learn how things work or meet certain needs, so “homelab” in this case is referring to something that people in the IT space frequently build out and/or own.

Our Local Manga Library…
The name here is a bit of a misnomer, though I’ll explain why in due time. Today I was reminded of some experiences that I had growing up that I wanted to share. When I was young, Anime was “those weird Japanese cartoons” and people had some pretty harsh things to say if you talked…
