There’s a lazy stereotype about middle-aged men that says that all we want to do is tinker with our gadgets. I’m doing very little to challenge it, which I guess is how I came to weather the pandemic by trying to build my own Raspberry Pi synthesizer. Building a breadboard synthesizer is a fun project […]

Finding correct OpenVPN MTU and MSSFIX settings can really drive you batty. No really. It’s ridiculous how much trouble MTU settings can cause and how often people don’t realize that MTU is actually what’s causing the problem! My Experience with OpenVPN MTU Problems As many of you are aware, I run a ton of VPNs. […]
About a year ago, I started searching for a new home for The Geek Pub. I really wanted something where I could get all my tools and equipment out the garage and with enough room to spread out a little. I’d also hoped I could find something with an air-conditioned area that would allow me to […]

Even the vibrator built into your phone is likely based on stepper motor technology! In this tutorial we’re going to cover the basics of […]
Ubiquiti (and their Unifi gear) have become my go to for just about anything network related. Their gear is feature rich, rock solid, and seems to really “just work”. We couldn’t be bigger fans.
