I upgraded my NAS to 10 Gigabit and immediately discovered the bottleneck nobody warns you about
I wanted 10 GbE networking at home. I (probably) didn’t need it, but I wanted 10 GbE and I was going to get it. The first piece of networking equipment with that speed wasn’t a client device, but a managed network switch. Then came a Synology DS1621xs+, with 10 GbE...
I wanted 10 GbE networking at home. I (probably) didn’t need it, but I wanted 10 GbE and I was going to get it. The first piece of networking equipment with that speed wasn’t a client device, but a managed network switch. Then came a Synology DS1621xs+, with 10 GbE as standard equipment, a rarity for the company. And a vision in my head of my NAS backup strategy zooming along at a full gigabyte per second.

I’m building a PC with a back-connect motherboard, so I’ll never have to thread cables behind the tray again
Assembling a PC is perhaps the most exciting undertaking an enthusiast looks forward to, right from the moment they buy the first component that goes into it. I've been through that same exhilarating feeling countless times, and each time, the journey has been as rewarding as the first.

I ditched expensive cloud storage subscriptions for a $0 Nextcloud server on an old laptop
Cloud storage subscription prices are steadily increasing, and my free-tier account cannot keep up with the limited space. Google Drive is more generous than any other service, but even the 15GB limit starts to feel restrictive when you start uploading documents, images, and other files. I’ve tried to be selective,...
Cloud storage subscription prices are steadily increasing, and my free-tier account cannot keep up with the limited space. Google Drive is more generous than any other service, but even the 15GB limit starts to feel restrictive when you start uploading documents, images, and other files. I’ve tried to be selective, but it was more of a temporary solution. Additionally, I’ve looked into some other free alternatives, but as you know, cloud storage doesn’t come cheap, and there’s no way around it.

I turned my phone into an AI agent powered by my local LLM, and it installed software on its own
The phone in my pocket is the worst computer I own for running a language model, but arguably one of the best any of us own when it comes to what the hardware is capable of. It has sensors, notifications, messages, files, and a touchscreen. What it doesn't have is...
The phone in my pocket is the worst computer I own for running a language model, but arguably one of the best any of us own when it comes to what the hardware is capable of. It has sensors, notifications, messages, files, and a touchscreen. What it doesn't have is the memory bandwidth or the thermal headroom to run anything genuinely clever, and it never will, because, well, it's a phone.

This Ugreen NAS battery backup just hit its lowest price, and your data will thank you
There's nothing worse than a power outage wrecking your favorite tech products or, even worse, wiping out your data. It's not common, but it can happen, which is why you should protect your products with a battery backup if you can.

I opened my Obsidian vault in this open-source alternative, and it does what Obsidian needs three plugins for
Obsidian is probably one of the best note-taking apps out there, but it's not open-source, which is fine, there are perfectly good reasons for that. But a part of the Obsidian user base has always wanted a properly open-source alternative, one that isn't half-finished or abandoned. So when SoloMD popped...
Obsidian is probably one of the best note-taking apps out there, but it's not open-source, which is fine, there are perfectly good reasons for that. But a part of the Obsidian user base has always wanted a properly open-source alternative, one that isn't half-finished or abandoned. So when SoloMD popped up as MIT-licensed and Markdown-native with a built-in AI panel, it seemed worth a look.

This forgotten Pixel feature is the one I want Google to bring back the most
When I think back to features I really liked about earlier Pixel smartphones, one key feature always comes to mind: Active Edge.

I stopped using free VPNs after I learned what they do with your traffic
If you type “free VPN” into any search engine, you’ll get a wall of options. They might even sound good, with promises not to log your traffic, to stop your ISP from snooping on your browsing, and other claims of private browsing.

Sony gave up on the PlayStation Vita console in 2019. The homebrew community continues to release new apps and games for the legacy handheld console. The biggest challenge with the PS Vita is the lack of games exclusive to other platforms. The PlayStation Store on Vita has been dead for years and online in name only. Sony’s decision to sunset the PlayStation Store in July 2027 didn’t dampen the homebrew community’s spirits.

That cover art is almost certainly AI too. | Image: Fenix Flexin It took long enough, but now LA rapper Fenix Flexin appears to have admitted using AI for the 80s synth pop-themed song "Rubberz." His comments follow the producer Medasin's videos claiming that an AI tool called Treblo (formerly Sonauto) was used to make the song, and the company releasing an AI detector that identifies it as Treblo AI-created. In a reply to a comment pointing out that Tyga admitted to relying on AI for his own controversial '80s-influenced album $tarface, on one of his Instagram posts, Fenix said:never said I didn't use AI , i said it had nun to do w recording process .
