Using Certbot-DNS-CloudFlare to Generate Free SSL Certificates in Webmin

January 15, 2024 /
If you're operating a web server in 2024, two things are almost certain: one, you are managing it via a popular control panel, and two, you want to serve your content over HTTPS. A third is likely also a given: you want to save money. While Webmin may be a bit long-in-the-tooth these days, it's still a common control panel of choice for administrators willing to trade flashy interfaces for something a little more basic and free. And coupled with Virtualmin, it even feels relatively modern, with nearly all ...

I wrote a feature article for a magazine!

July 16, 2019 /
The way we use technology is constantly evolving. That's what I wrote about in the summer edition of the seasonal Timber Maniacs 'mogazine', a product of the unofficial Final Fantasy Forums. But the existence of a professional-grade magazine from a niche forum board is itself a testimony of the same principle. Having joined the community way back in 2012, I've seen the site experience many phases--in part tied to the highs and lows of the series it pays homage to. This is far from the first time I've ...

PalmDB is a download catalog for Palm OS applications opened in 2018 to preserve the legacy of this highly influential piece of pre-smartphone tech history. From the early '90s to late '00s, Palm pioneered many technologies we enjoy in modern smartphones today. Unfortunately, with the popularity of iOS and Android, Palm failed to gain a foothold in the smartphone market and was shut down in a series of acquisitions. In the years following, Palm OS's massive library of applications was nearly lost. With no ...

Let's face it: the internet is a very fickle place. What's here today could easily be gone tomorrow with the flip of a switch. On a smaller scale, that switch is expected to flip eventually. Products become obsolete, companies go out of business, or for whatever reason traffic dies and leaves behind an empty wasteland of information that's good for nothing but racking up server bills. However, in the past couple of decades a few relics of an era gone by have managed to slip through the cracks and remain ...

‘Text Me Merry Christmas’ Brings Holiday Cheer Up-to-Date

December 12, 2014 /
What’s the first thing that comes to mind when I say ‘Christmas music’? Chances are good that it’s at least half a century old, if not significantly more, even if the particular interpretation you think of happens to be the creation of a contemporary artist. And indeed it’s true—Christmas has become an inconsistent mesh of the old and new over the past decade or so. Various tech products now top the charts as the hottest gift items under the tree, but that tree itself is planted firmly by the ...

Turkey Tech – Geeks, Beware Black Friday Deals

November 24, 2014 /
It’s that time of year again: the week in the USA where we give thanks for what we have one day and beat each other up for what we don’t have the next. As businesses continually find more and more ways to market Black Friday, it’s practically become a bigger thing than the holiday preceding it. Every year consumers look for steeper price cuts on bigger and better things, and the pressure’s on retailers to deliver according to expectation. Now, competition and capitalism are great things, and there ...
