Synology DSM 6.2 + Let’s Encrypt + DNS Challenge + Route53

Chris Driscoll 2020-12-05 0

I’m attempting to build upon Markus Lippert’s article (https://lippertmarkus.com/2020/03/14/synology-le-dns-auto-renew/) with a newer DSM (DiskStation Manager) version (6.2.3). Some of the instructions from that post were slightly different from what my experience. I don’t have my Synology device accessible on the internet, so using a DNS challenge was the best option available. The built-in Synology Let’s […]

Wink Shortcuts on Android Wear

Chris Driscoll 2019-08-29 0

I recently picked up a Fossil Gen 5 watch, having been a Pebble wearer for several years. One of the biggest reasons I moved from Pebble to Android Wear was that the Wink Shortcuts app for Pebble stopped working within the last several months, presumably with Wink deprecating some APIs. I really didn’t like pulling […]

Synology and *.clients.your-server.de

Chris Driscoll 2018-06-19 0

Recently I’ve been noticing a lot of consistent traffic coming from my Synology (well, Xpenology) virtual machine destined for a clients.your-server.de domain.  This was somewhat concerning as some cursory Google searches for this domain resulted in several posts about folks associating this domain with malware and/or bots.  Uh oh. I use pfSense as my router […]

Firefox – Black Background on New (blank) Tab Page

Chris Driscoll 2015-05-09 9

Opening a new tab in Firefox in a dark room can be a blinding experience.  Luckily, there’s an easy way to make the ‘New Tab’ page background black (or any color you want, really). To start, click on the Firefox menu button, go to ‘Help’, and then click on ‘Troubleshooting Information’.  You should get a […]

Rise of the Witch King Options.ini Creator Tool

Chris Driscoll 2015-03-15 0

About every three months some friends and I have a LAN party and one of the games that’s always fun to play is Battle for Middle Earth II: Rise of the Witch King (long enough title?). Unfortunately, it’s one of those games that we only play at a LAN so once everyone goes home it […]

MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Artifacts When Overclocking

Chris Driscoll 2015-02-20 5

This post pertains to the 09SB version of the MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G video card, but may also apply to other models. You can find your model on the video card’s box as part of the serial number. I don’t think I had my GTX 970 installed for more than 5 minutes before I […]

Android X86 – No Mouse Cursor in Oracle VirtualBox

Chris Driscoll 2015-01-26 13

Having the Android OS accessible through a virtual machine (VM) is super-handy.  My reason for setting up an Android VM is that it’s a relatively easy way to get the Google Authenticator running on a desktop device, rather than my phone. One snag I ran into after getting the Android OS installed on the VM […]

Get the Quake 3 hitsound for Team Fortress 2

Chris Driscoll 2014-07-18 1

If you’re like me, you lived and breathed Quake 3 during its hayday.  Hearing that satisfying plunk sound after launching a couple grenades around a corner was a good feeling. I’ve recently gotten back into Team Fortress 2 after a long hiatus and found myself not liking the default ding hitsound that TF2 uses.  I […]

So you want to stop receiving mail from Dish Network?

Chris Driscoll 2014-05-06 15

Occasional junk mail can be a minor annoyance, but when you receive 1-2 letters a week from a service provider, it’s ridiculous and wasteful. This was my case with Dish Network.  I previously had – and canceled – their service at an old address, but the disease that is Dish promotional mail followed me to […]
