Before I get into details, if I have to fathom a guess based on what I’ve read so far, this is likely a bug on Firefox’s part. I’m not up to date with Firefox development and the priority lists they must have; but reading some of the other proxy plugins GitHub gave some ideas as…

How to Troubleshoot WordPress Scheduled Post Not Publishing pt. 2
I’m still in the process of gathering more information on the subject, but I did manage to find what could be the another source of the same problem. Please read through the symptoms part of the previous post to see if this is your case. But to put simply, when your website uses a cache…
Raspberry Pi, VLAN, and Docker
A bit of rant while exploring different routes to host multiple OpenVPN clients on a single Raspberry Pi device. If you are a subscriber to paid VPN services, you would immediately know most services offer multiple server destinations. And you would also know, by following the previous post, that the said how-to only allows one…
How to Setup External Access of Home Devices
There is a problem with all IoT or smart home devices: external access. This is a problem that all users at some point have to ask themselves how they would like to approach it. What’s the point of having internet-enabled, sensor-filled, micro smart devices in each room, if none of them will respond soon as…
How to Setup Tmux Pane Synchronization Shortcut
Tmux comes in incredibly handy in multitude of situations, and one of them is when you are handling multiple ssh connections to pi devices or something akin to IoT devices. Assuming all the setup is already done on the local device, and this is part of your regular maintenance routine, logging in to each device…
How to Troubleshoot Steam Stuck at “Reserving Space”
This is one of the odd balls I found with Steam client. As the client hasn’t seen major improvement since release, apparently it’s a common knowledge Steam has marginal support of exFAT, unreliable even at the best of times. Back in the good ol’ days when I used HDD as the one and only drive…
Silent Hill 2 (2024) Spiel
My first Silent Hill was Silent Hill 4: The Room; though I couldn’t push myself through the end. It might come as a surprise, but by the time I was interested in the franchise, I didn’t have the old consoles to play the OG titles. All old franchises suffer from the similar problem; average modern…
How to Silent Hill 2 (2024): Melee E. Dombrowski
Hopefully using his last name instead of his first name helped with the spoiler tags. If you want to find out who the boss is for yourself now is the chance to avert thine eyes. Silent Hill 2 came out in 2001, and there are simply too many medias influenced by the legend itself, so…
Superliminial Spiel
I don’t know what makes puzzle-solving as a genre so ripe with indie games. The Portal franchise started as an indie project until Valve scooped them up, more recent Baba Is You is a literal indie game filled with programmer jokes. Perhaps it’s the financial limitations that translate into developments, or the metas and homages…
Surviving the Abyss, Early Access, and Abandonware
There are several games on my radar I am eagerly waiting to see the final copy of. Since Steam has started Early Access (i.e. preorder now and start playing beta, or pre-beta version), many developers have built their new business models around the idea that there is another source of revenue until the actual release…
PS5 Pro, 4K TV, and HDR
The new PS5 Pro is released at $699.99, and I’m here to ask a question: Is a gamer not entitled to sweat of —I meant— pixels of his consoles? Enough Andrew Ryan quotes, but it is a serious question nonetheless. At $700, PS5 Pro has a tough battle ahead of it to win the spotlight…
How To Prepare VPN VLAN for Switch
In my previous post on how to setup VPN VLAN, I discussed the methodology of setting one for the first time. Now that it’s near Black Friday of 2024, some of the VPN providers have already started pre Black Friday sale in October. No doubt consumers are shopping for which service is right for their…
Diablo IV: Vessel of Hatred Spiel
Diablo IV has a tall order to meet as a fourth installment in the franchise. Blizzard has added, removed, or changed some bits and that since 1996, but as a sequel to a 28 years old franchise, the game cannot offer new ideas without radical departure. Vessel of Hatred has even taller order, as an…
How to Setup Expanded Storage for Steam
Recently I moved the m.2 SSD from a NAS to a Mac. A NAS running on Linux was better served with expanded memory, so I thought to use the SSD to expand the internal storage of my workstation. Upgrading process was straightforward, but there was a problem moving games from Steam Library to the newly…
Diablo IV, Console Support, and DualSense
Part 2 on the most recent title from Diablo franchise, and frankly found more often on the indie games, the dubious controller support and lack of documentations thereof. As strange as it sounds, there are aspects of a video game where a spec is necessary. Not just “minimum requirements” and “recommended” specs of your hardwares,…
