I can finally play records!
So, roughly two weeks ago I finally invested in a new turntable: the Audio-Technica AT-LP120X. It’s no Technics, but it still does its job pretty well. I’m just glad to finally have a turntable that doesn’t have a mind of its own and holds the platter’s speed steadily. I was mainly looking for the following…

I got lucky today.
Yo! Today I had the luck of seeing a Google Street View car scanning our streets 🙂 Have you ever seen one? Share your experiences in the comments—I’m curious! And even if you haven’t, I still hope you have a nice day 😉

I can’t play records…
So… I’ve been thinking about getting a new turntable, because my current one has been going haywire. Since I’m sensitive to pitch, a direct drive table with pitch control and quartz lock would be good. Maybe I’ll go with the Audio-Technica AT-LP120X for a start. What do you think? Edit: I got the AT-LP120X! It’s…

I recently moved this site to a new server. Please let me know if you experience any glitches—especially because I moved from Apache to Nginx. Thank you.

My new toy.
So, after a few months of patiently waiting, I got myself a shiny new iPhone 15 Pro Max. I love it! In fact, I’m currently drafting this post on it: I’m really loving it so far. It’s the first phone I have with the pill Dynamic Island, by the way. I went with the natural…

I just performed some “surgery” on my old PS1…

Mastodon setup challenges
A few weeks back, I set up my own Mastodon instance on a VPS. Normally, it’s not too difficult, but since I already had a LAMP stack running on it, there were more obstacles to get past! I had to ultimately use Apache as a reverse proxy instead of Nginx, as Mastodon recommends. Also, by…

I ordered a VPS some time ago.
Howdy, fellow readers! I’ve decided to order a VPS a few months back. That means I can host Discord bots and a lot more! In case you’re curious, here’re the specs. Nothing too fancy: I have a LAMP stack + a copy of Webmin installed on it. For now, I’m hosting a MediaWiki site on…

VHS video has its own charm.
Am I the only one who actually enjoys the fuzzy picture associated with analog video tape formats? There’s something pleasing about it… Heck, I still record stuff onto VHS occasionally these days. Some of my VHS clips are on YouTube if you find it just as pleasing as I do: Hope you enjoyed watching the…

I’m happy I have an LED printer.
Ever since my old HP inkjet started to break down from age, I thought about replacing it with a color laser/LED printer instead, and I’m very happy I made that decision. Here are a few reasons why: Faster The main advantage of laser/LED printers is their speed: they’re (usually) faster than inkjet printers. Crisper prints…
