With the recent upgrade to Fortnite, I saw that the bandwidth at the house was being saturated with these 17GB updates going to 3 different Playstations. With that being said I started to think there had to be a way to set up a local report, or a cache to serve all the updates/installs to save not only bandwidth but also time. A quick search landed me on Lancache which totes itself with the motto of “LAN Party game caching made easy“. Sounded like an instant win, especially when I saw that it consisted of only two Docker containers to get it up and running. ...

While I am a huge fan of the Phillips hue lighting system, it is expensive there is no doubt about that. Whenever I visit Home Depot or any other big box store I try to look around the clearance sections as you would be surprised at how often Phillips Hue lights are sitting there selling for a fraction of the cost. After moving to our house I started to set up my office space and knew that I wanted to add in some wall accent lighting using a Phillips Hue LED strip, sadly at about $180 for the 5m (16ft section) it was going to add up in order to add lighting to the selected wall as it was just about 16ft in length, and that was not including the main piece with the part that actually connects to the hub. ...

While looking over Jons site during this 100 days of blogging challenge, I noticed that he had a page discussing the use of affiliate links on his site.

The recent start of the 100 days of blogging challenge that I am participating in with a few other coworkers at Kinsta got me thinking about how I will ever manage all of these scheduled posts. The way I am attacking this challenge is simply by creating a bunch of draft posts on various subjects and then scheduling them to be auto-posted once I have completed them. While doing this for a handful of drafts might not be that big of an issue but when you start to think about managing at least 100 posts if not more ( Depending on how crazy I decide to get) this can be quite an issue given the lack of a good heads up display in the WordPress dashboard. ...

I picked up some Apple AirTags a while back and put one in my laptop bag, on mine and Nicole’s keychains, in my wallet, and even one in my truck (_Figured it could help with finding my truck in a parking garage or something lol). However, I now have 3 more sitting here gathering dust and I haven’t the slightest idea on what to do with them. I have thought about hiding them in the kid’s backpacks just in case they misplace them, also attaching them to our bikes as well but I feel they would end up getting lost somehow, and then there would be a hunt trying to find the lost AirTags. ...
