Recently I bought one of the N5105 firewall boxes from Aliexpress for $158 CAD, and I’ve been evaluating the best way to set it up. I’d like to run a firewall/router as a virtual machine, as I’d like to also run a small file server on it. In other words, […]
Since I’ve seen that at least some people found my guide on Ebox IPv6 helpful, I figured I’d add a post talking about one topic I didn’t cover much: the LAN IP assignments. Note that I’m still on DSL, and despite Bell buying Ebox I still don’t have access to […]
In the process of trying out MythTV, Kodi and the like, I’ve discovered that IR remotes are really irritating on Linux with an enormous amount of out of date documentation. Some of the useful breakdowns or guides I found are: From that, you can see that ir-keytable is the best […]
Just released a new preprint on arXiv titled Uncertainty estimation in Deep Learning for Panoptic segmentation. We take a look at extending existing uncertainty estimation approaches that use ensembles – or can be interpreted as ensembles – to the panoptic segmentation domain.

Had to do this myself, so here’s a quick guide on setting up proxmox to send e-mail notifications via your e-mail service of choice – particularly useful for backup notifications. I use MXRoute myself but it should work with just about any service, with some tweaking required for services like […]
Thanks to an interesting e-mail from Oracle recently, I’ve been consolidating some servers and wanted to try installing WordPress on the Caddy webserver. While doing it, I figured I’d write a howto guide so here it is. Note that I’m doing this on Ubuntu 22.04. Installing Caddy is fairly straightforward […]
Having set up a headless server with Transmission 3.0 from the default Ubuntu 22.04 repositories, I discovered an issue: there is apparently a memory leak! Transmission will slowly eat more and more RAM and over the course of a few hours (8-12) will have used up around 1GB. Apparently, this […]
For some reason, new Ubuntu 22.04 server installs seem to screw up the IP configuration on install. I’ve set the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to be static on my server in the installer, and yet on boot only IPv6 works. I don’t know how the devs would have missed such […]
I have a headless server where I want to run my Windscribe VPN on boot automatically. Unfortunately, their current client seems to require a GUI to function, which makes it impossible to use on such a server. However, we can use OpenVPN instead. I’m doing this on Ubuntu 22.04. First, […]
I’m currently building a new home server and experimenting with SATA passthrough on proxmox. This is still a work in progress, but I wanted to make a special mention to kiler129 on GitHub for making an excellent guide HERE on ensuring that the AHCI driver does not load on start. […]
