Linux - keep it simple.

One of the key parts to setting up a home server is being able to reach it from the outside world. It doesn't do much good if the only way to reach your website, cloud, server, etc., is from your own living room. There are many ways to accomplish this …

For over a year, I've been using a self hosted, home based server to replace Google services. I have used it to sync family phones, backup data, be a web server and a gallery or photo server, as well as be a location tracker. All the while, this worked pretty …

Recently I decided to do some personal kernel work on my discovery, aka Sony Xperia XA2 Ultra, which is part of the "nile" family of devices. I use the Sony Open Device Project trees and kernel, because regardless of what they think of me, I think they do exceptionally great …

One of the major problems with the TS-520 I have was that the band select switch did not actually select a different band. This was problematic, of course, and turned out to be a rather interesting fix. As it turned out, there were two rods inside connected by brass inserts …

Having a household of several children, it can at times be hard to find some space for my projects and equipment. As it was, I had a perfect spot in the laundry room with a whole desk to myself. However, the desk was a bit crowded with my TS-820S radio …

In my spare time, I'm still playing around with RSCW, the Morse code decoder program. One of the hurdles that I've finally overcome (Praise God!) was how to send sound to the decoder. It turns out to be pretty simple, it just took me a few tries to get it …

As I get further and further down the rabbit hole of HAM radio, I started looking at Morse Code (CW) decoders. As it turns out, being just a licensed technician, I can only do limited voice communications on certain bands, all of which are above 10 meters (28 MHz). Below …
