While I made the change a few weeks ago, it seems fitting that my first post of 2021 should be about my swap to the Twenty Twenty-One WordPress theme. For anyone who isn’t aware, each year WordPress releases a new “official” theme for the platform. While theme-elitists out there may scoff at them in favor… Continue reading Twenty Twenty-One WordPress Theme

Star Lite Mk III
After spending some quality time with my Pinebook Pro, I decided that I wanted something slightly more powerful for my personal laptop. While most of my heavy-lifting in the world of computers is done with my MacBook Pro for work (which was recently upgraded to a device featuring the new M1 chips; look for more… Continue reading Star Lite Mk III
Adding SSH To GitHub
Between the Thanksgiving holiday and some shifting priorities when I got back to work, I hadn’t made any new commits to my GitHub account for about 10 days. This meant that I didn’t have any new posts to my recently-launched GitCommit site that makes a bit of a microblog from my commit messages. To be… Continue reading Adding SSH To GitHub
macOS Big Sur pip Installation Error
Given that I have technological FOMO while also being a technology masochist, I upgraded my 2018 MacBook Pro to macOS 11 “Big Sur” as soon as it was available. Common sense dictates that I should have waited a while to let others encounter and fix some of the kinks prior to upgrading myself, but what’s… Continue reading macOS Big Sur pip Installation Error
RememBear Password Manager
A few weeks ago I received an email offering to let me try the premium variant of the RememBear password manager for a year for free. I assume that I received this since I currently have an active TunnelBear subscription that I use for my VPN. I didn’t bother looking into things too closely, but… Continue reading RememBear Password Manager
Keychron K2 V2
I recently ran into a problem with my keyboard at home, a Logitech K350, AKA a Logitech Wave; the O key stopped reliably working. Sometimes it would work fine, sometimes it would work only when pressed with an excessive amount of force no touch-typist could reliably muster (at which point the key would clank down… Continue reading Keychron K2 V2
Even More Storage: Yearly Bonuses For Paid ProtonMail Accounts
It’s no secret around this blog or for anyone who listened to the Unusually Pink Podcast that I’m a fan of ProtonMail. While it’s unfortunate that privacy in the world of computing often comes with an associated monetary cost, the simple fact of the matter is that if you aren’t paying for your email account… Continue reading Even More Storage: Yearly Bonuses For Paid ProtonMail Accounts
Books: Hands On Hacking
While I’ve been stuck at home as the global coronavirus pandemic rages on (currently on day 241 of quarantine, for those who listen to the Same Shade Of Difference), I’ve been trying to make the most of my time in captivity with lots of reading, training, and personal projects to learn as much new stuff… Continue reading Books: Hands On Hacking
Trying Out NextDNS
I recently decided to take a little bit of time to set up NextDNS. While on the surface it’s similar to the myriad other DNS resolvers out there you can opt to use instead of the likely horrible DNS servers provided by your ISP, NextDNS is essentially a cloud-based Pi-hole. You can use some of… Continue reading Trying Out NextDNS
SSIDs Everywhere
As someone who has been an apartment dweller for a relatively long time, there are some extremely solid perks to it. It’s nice to never have to worry about things like maintenance, for example; if something goes wrong, I open a service ticket and someone shows up to fix the problem. When my furnace wouldn’t… Continue reading SSIDs Everywhere
