It has many options to be used across different devices, but it does so through button combinations which can get annoying if your didn’t keep the manual. Just for the sake of my own sanity I’m…

    VLC | Click to Pause

    I recently found a VLC plugin I fell i love with. It’s very basic, but a must for me. Pause to click/play. If you’ve watch videos on the net you’ve probably noticed that all web players now use click to pause on their web players. It makes sense too, it’s much more convenient than trying…

    Fediverse + Soapbox(Rebased)

    tldr: If you’re having weird problems installing the Soapbox / Rebased Fediverse software on your server. Maybe make sure you open port 80 and 443. That worked for me. I like to get on the Fediverse for my social media fix. I’m not the tech savviest guy, but I do self host my own website…

    Soapbox JSON Data

    I opened a Soapbox Fediverse site to play with. Learned a couple things doing that, but when I installed it, certain features were not working the way they should under the soapbox-config settings (I think this was all under the newer Soapbox3 front-end).
