So it's been a rough start for me, stepping into the modern world with a modern phone that has a/b partitioning and was Android 8.0+. I've built dozens of roms for dozens of phones, some that were even unsupported, and to God …
A while back I switched my LG Watch Urbane (bass) from Android Wear to AsteroidOS. My initial reaction was really positive, but I wanted to come back to post later on how the long term use was going. Truth is, it's great!
Don't get me wrong, Android Wear had some …
Well, at least attempting to. Unfortunately it didn't end very well. A friend of mine broke the glass screen of their Samsung Galaxy Note 9. They have a warranty on it, but they already broke the screen once, and now they would have to pay several hundred dollars to have …
I've been having a great time with the 3D printer. It's a bit tedious to constantly adjust every setting to tweak things into a better print, but it really is a fun hobby! Lately, I've been working on the supports. For those who are new (like me) to 3D printing …
As promissed, I wanted to make a post with my slicer settings that I use for my Colido 3D DIY printer in Slic3r. Why? Because I'm learning that slicer settings matter, big time. If the above picture loaded for you, then you can see that the same 3D model will …
Hopefully all of these higher resolution photos show up well in this post, as I wanted to show you what I've been working on. Previously, I talked about the difference between using Slic3r to slice my stl files into gcode, and I was pointing out that with the exact same …

In the continuing saga of the Google Photos alternative, by running a home server with Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS), very secure FTP (vsftp), and an Apache web server coupled with Piwigo, we've automated the entire process of getting the photographs I take with my phone all put on the …
Last time we talked about how to set up the domain name with DDNS for free, and then using very secure FTP, vsftp, and SyncTool (the Android app) to automatically move photos from your phone to your home server. But that's only half of the battle. One of the big …
While there are many, many options out there for photo storage, if you are looking for a home storage solution that does NOT involve just plugging in your phone and dumping the pictures to your hard drive, you have to get a little technical. (By the way, if that is …
