  • ArchiveBox

    Spent an hour of my morning setting up ArchiveBox. I’ve set this up before but I forgot how to access it. It wasn’t even running. I saw that there was a docker-compose.yml already and I went to update Docker Compose in my Synology NAS and ran docker-composer up -d and it worked as it was…

  • Thinking of changing router

    I’ve been considering changing my router from Omada’s R605 to something more configurable. Omada is great for managing switch and access points. Sobrang seemless mag-add ng bagong device.
